Better than leaving the cloaking device on and running down the batteries is to sink your saucer in a lake and cover it with some boulders to keep it down and out of the hands of the natives.

Since the mean depth of the Sea of Galilee is less than 100 feet why has no one visited this “structure”?

“Close inspection by scuba diving revealed that the structure is made of basalt boulders up to 1 m (3.2 feet) long with no apparent construction pattern,” the researchers write in their journal article. “The boulders have natural faces with no signs of cutting or chiselling. Similarly, we did not find any sign of arrangement or walls that delineate this structure.”

Did you read the article?

Divers have since been down to investigate, they write in the latest issue of the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology.
