A mysterious circle on a grainy scan, this is what scientists are claiming is finally evidence that Earth has been visited by aliens.

Researchers have claimed the fuzzy outline is a flying saucer that ended up 300ft down on the ocean floor between Sweden and Finland.

They were stunned when sonar scans taken while searching for a century-old wreck showed up the shape against the dirt.

Nuts. You beat me to it.

Russian navy in the late 19th century experimented with round ships called "popovki". The Vice-Admiral Popov and the Novgorod were constructed as heavy-gun, shallow-draft (cue Lt Chekov) "wessles" for guarding coastal cities and river mouths.

Supposedly they were scrapped in 1912, so I can't imagine one of them ending up on the bottom of the Baltic.

One of my Millenium Falcons is missing. How did it get over there? Oh, I forgot. My friend from Sweden must have flown home on it. Salvage rights!!!!

Do you have any idea how much an intact original Millenium Falcon plastic model from the 1970’s is worth today, esp. if it is in the original box? Mucho dinaro, boycheck!!

You might be right, but I heard that the turrets fall off the battleships if they flip upside down so you wouldn’t need a transport ship really. Just a battleship that is on its way to Davy Jones.

Poor bastards must have froze to death.

Wow! The Russians made crazy stuff before the Commies!

[iowamark]

They're on it!

I've often suspected that the Monkees were somehow involved in the UFO coverup.

Good movie, GREAT PHOTOSHOP!

“Wow! The Russians made crazy stuff before the Commies!”

And after, they copied us.

[right way right]

“It’s actually just a big rubber stopper on the floor of the ocean. I sure hope they don’t find the chain and pull it.”

Humans. Is there anything they can’t screw up?

Looks like Han Solo's rig.

And it just barely missed the landing strip...

I’ve got a Klingon Vor’Cha and a Romulan D’deridex class Warbird. No original packaging...but they make cool sounds.

LOL! But where’s Bigfoot. Geez.

It appears for all the world to be a natural formation.
