Another wreck floating just below the surface. Most likely culprit would be a shipping container.

A lot of mines were planted in the water during the XX Century’s many wars …
Not saying it was a mine, but that’s probably more plausible than aliens.

Another plausible explanation.
But I still like “aliens”.

Yes, or maybe a blue whale hit the trawler?
