A renowned shipwreck surveyor has come across a large unidentified object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, leading to speculation it could be anything from an underwater Stonehenge to a crashed UFO.
Swedish firm, Ocean Explorer, located the mystery object in an undisclosed part of the Baltic Sea near Sweden, using sonar technology, Daily Mail reports.
However, due to insufficient funding the Swedes cannot launch an operation to find out what the object is.
Sonar images reveal the object is a 60m cylinder, about the same size as a jumbo jet, with about 400m of drag marks.
A similar disc shaped object was observed 200m away .
Some web-watchers have quipped that the object could be Han Solo’s spaceship due to its similarity to the Millenium Falcon from the Star Wars movies, a portal to an underwater world or perhaps a submerged Stonehenge.
"My first reaction was to tell the guys we have a UFO here on the bottom," Veteran shipwreck scavenger Peter Lindberg told CNN when he discovered the unidentified object on sonar.
Ocean Explorer have created a submarine to take tourists and shipwreck hunters to the bottom of the Baltic Sea to see the mystery object for themselves, while they seek financial backing for a potential salvage operation.
