Baltic Sea Anomaly: What is the Baltic Sea Anomaly? Has it been solved?

The Baltic Sea is the site of a formation some deem ‘unnatural’, which was discovered in 2011. Swedish Diving team Ocean X found the anomaly on the seafloor during a mission seven years ago and suggested the discovery showed some strange features. The team said the shape appeared “unnatural” and as such prompted many theories as to what exactly it might be – with some even inisiting the find could show the presence of an alien craft.

What is the Baltic Sea Anomaly?

The Baltic Sea Anomaly was discovered on the ocean bed of the Baltic Sea in June 2011.

A team of Swedish treasure hunters, who call themselves ‘Ocean X’, happened on the anomaly while scanning the area with sonar equipment.

The blurred out sonar imaging appears to show the faint outline of an oddly shaped formation.

Claims from the Ocean X team say the anomaly shows a 60 metre diameter circular object, which included features that look like ramps, stairways and other man-made structures.

The Ocean X team themselves are still mystified by their findings, saying: ”We need to know what we’ve found”.

Peter Lindberg, from Ocean X, said: “Media has been speculating about everything from UFOs to Russian space ships.

“What we know at this point is its size and shape, and we also know, based on the sonar image, that there is a ridged tail going from or to the cylinder-shaped anomaly of about 3 800 feet across the bottom of the sea.”

“We can not tell when it was placed in the Baltic Sea, if the object was dumped into the sea or if it’s a natural phenomenon.

“We are determined to successfully complete our mission of finding out what’s at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.”

The team have since revisited the site but claimed a mysterious electrical interference prevented them from gaining a clearer image.

Researchers may now have finally confirmed exactly what the Baltic Sea Anomaly is.

Has the Baltic Sea Anomaly been solved?

Researchers from scientists at Stockholm University believe they have proven the Baltic Sea Anomaly is a leftover formation from the Baltic seabed being carved out by Glaciers during the Ice Age.

Volker Brüchert, associate professor of geology at Stockholm University, said: “I was surprised when I researched the material I found a great black stone that could be a volcanic rock.

“My hypothesis is that this object, this structure was formed during the Ice Age many thousands of years ago.

“Because the whole northern Baltic region is so heavily influenced by glacial thawing processes, both the feature and the rock samples are likely to have formed in connection with glacial and postglacial processes.”
