EXCERPT

On June 1, 2012, the Explorer X team set off on its second investigation of a 197-foot-diameter (60 meters) unidentified structure that is 275 feet down on the floor of the Baltic Sea some 60 nautical miles from nearest land between Sweden and Finland. First discovered on June 19, 2011, on the last day of a treasure hunting expedition to find sunken wrecks, a second smaller anomaly was also found 600 feet away. A few more puzzling details were seen this time on BlueView and Multibeam sonar before the team decided it was safe to send two divers down for a closer look. Peter Lindberg now compares the larger object to a concrete structure with 90-degree lines, vertical surfaces and is sitting on a smaller structure so it “looks like a champagne cork.” . . .
