Swedish scientists plan to explore a mystery ripped straight from the The X-Files.
Rather than Mulder and Scully, this adventure features Swedish researchers Peter Lindberg and Dennis Asberg. They too know the truth is out there -- and in mere days plan to visit what they call the Baltic Anomaly.
Last summer, while on a treasure hunt between Sweden and Finland, the pair and their research associates made headlines worldwide with the discovery of a 200-foot wide unidentified object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Now a team of oceanographers, engineers and deep sea divers will return to the site Friday, June 1, for a 6 to 10 day trip.
They want to find out once and for all what it really is.
We dont know whether it is a natural phenomenon, or an object, Lindberg, captain of the Ocean Explorer, told FoxNews.com. We saw it on sonar when we were searching for a wreck from World War I. This circular object just turned up on the monitor.
The discovery was a worldwide news event, covered in the popular press, the scientific press and in the blogosphere. Many speculated that the discovery was of a long-lost unidentified flying object (UFO), that crashed into the sea -- evoking Duchovnys alien-hunting character on the TV show.
Lindberg is clearly aware of the connection: The logo for his OceanX Team is clearly meant to evoke the X-Files logo. But is the truth out there this time? He aims to find out.

Long-lost? Someone filed a missing saucer report?
If we never hear another word about it we’ll know it was a UFO.
I remember reading about this below in 1967.
UFO Crashes at Spitzbergen, Norway, 1946 & 1952
In the early 1950s, rumors began circulating that a crashed UFO had been recovered on the Norwegian-owned island of Spitzbergen., or Spitsbergen, is one of a group of islands called Svalbard, which have been Norwegian possessions since the 1920s. The islands lie over 500 miles north of Norway, inside the Arctic Circle...

“Plus, Krugman is advocating an alien takeover...”
Well, there you go. Good enough for me. (;^{0)
It is the craft of Bigfoot’s cousin, Webfoot. He stays mainly in his home in a Black Hole in the Bermuda Triangle but has been know to venture elsewhere.
I seen it on the History Channel.
Hopefully someone will bring a chair to throw at him so it wont be so boring.
LOL!
This illustration records Krahsho inspecting the installation of the drain. Sadly there's no scale reference to indicate the massive size of the giant.
Scientists imagine the giant circular object once uncovered will appear to be something like this.
Its a Nazi wunder weapon built in 1944 to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat—Not finished in time to win the war so they sank it.
Thanks, I’ve often felt that FR has far more influence (one way or another) than anyone admits in the wider world. Or, as Zero has said about every small nation on Earth, we punch above our weight. ;’)
Maybe, maybe not... We should first ascertain if there is *serious* money to be made from the discovery. If so, then it's quite likely someone (person, corp and/or govt) would exploit the find whether extraterrestrial or not.
Personally, I firmly believe that if "they" are actually out there (which I doubt), then they are so far away as to be eternally undetectable and our paths will never cross. The Fermi Paradox (wikipedia) pretty much leads me to the conclusion that "they" don't actually exist, which I attribute to an intentional, divine design.
200 feet wide? Well, that pretty much rules out Jimmy Hoffa.
