UFO Found Under The Baltic Sea?

Thanks to my good friend for telling me about this thing. AT LEAST! Something weird is happening near my country! So, this is how it all begun:

Swedish expedition who was searching for sunken ships under the Baltic sea had discovered mysterious object reaching 18 meters in diameter (about 59 ft) . However, the explorers are not willing to find out what this mysterious thing is.

Swedish explorers found weird object on the bottom of the Baltic sea. Photo made
by underwater sonar.

„The Ocean Explorer“ crew earned several million dollars after success in 1997 when they had discovered old traders' ship Jonkoping. Inside the ship old goods dating back in 1907 were found as well as bottles of wine, which costed about £ 7700 for each. This successful expedition made the Peter Lindberg, the captain of crew, to continue his research of Baltic sea.

A lot of details P. Lindberg still hadn't revealed yet. The only clues are published photos and loads of theories about the object.

Ones think this might be underground bomb, others consider it as some sea plants.

"A huge round-shaped object 18 meters in diameter was found in the Baltic sea in 87 meters deep [about 286 ft.] between Sweden and Finland." This announcement was made for local press.

The object remains unidentified.


P. Lindberg also said that there were 300 meters long tracks (about 990 ft.) leading to the object. According to the explorers there was a possibility that the object might be moving somewhere in the past.

Sadly, P. Lindberg told that he's not going to investigate the finding as "This is not what they've been searching for. We cannot spend the money only because we want to see it closely. Even if there would be new Stonehenge. We leave others to decide what this could be."

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Ships of the Future: Article From Old Lithuanian Soviet Magazine

First of all - Happy New Year my dear readers!


So, I'll tell you a short story how I decided to write about that. On Christmas day my family and I went to the village. I was so bored that I decided to find something interesting and wow! I found even more old Lithuanian soviet magazines with interesting articles. Haha, I'm lucky these days.


So, here's an article from old Lithuanian magazine 'Svyturys' (eng. 'Lighthouse') about how people back in 1965 imagined ships of 21st century.


This is the cover of the magazine:


...and the whole article (photos on other page):
The text is all about the history of ships, but I won't translate the text. I thought it would not be interesting for you to read that as you you can always find even more info on Wikipedia.

So here's the most interesting part: pictures (click to enlarge)

Translation:
pic. number one: oceanic catamaran - the ship of future.
pic. number two: British people are projecting this capacity
of 80 thousand tons atomic submarine. It's lenght - 244
meters, width about 49 meters, height - 15 meters.
pic. number three: American designers are suggesting to
build an original submarine. Control panel is elevated above
the water.
pic. number four: Atomic passenger ship with underwater wings.
pic. number five: In the future, these submarines will be used to catch
whales. As you see, whale will not be able to run away.
pic. number six and seven: These ships will be flying in the 21st century



So, here comes my summary. I think most of them are unreal; just like from my-beloved sci-fi section, but it's nice to see how people back then imagined future ;)
