"Because the whole northern Baltic region is so heavily influenced by glacial thawing processes, both the feature and the rock samples are likely to have formed in connection with glacial and postglacial processes. Among the samples was also a single loose piece of basaltic (volcanic) rock, which is out of place on the seafloor, but not unusual. According to Brüchert, most of the samples that were brought up from the sea bottom are granites, gneisses and sandstones. Stone samples have also been analyzed by Volker Brüchert, an associate professor of geology at Stockholm University. Israeli geologist Steve Weiner claimed that these materials are "metals which nature could not reproduce itself" however, Swedish geologists Fredrik Klingberg and Martin Jakobsson say that the chemical composition of the sample resembles that of nodules that are not uncommon in sea beds, and that the materials found, including limonite and goethite, can indeed be formed by nature itself. Chemical compositionĪ sample recovered by divers was reportedly found to contain limonite and goethite. On their second expedition, they reported that they found something that looks like a staircase and a round black hole that goes directly into the structure. The Ocean X team has published one additional close-up sonar scan on their Web site and nine additional close-up sonar scans on their YouTube page that appear to show a 90-degree angle and other features of the object. The object is at the end of what resembles a 300-metre (980 ft) "runway". There is also another smaller object not far away. ![]() DescriptionĪccording to Ocean X, the formation has an appearance of "rough granite", is round, 3 to 4 metres (9.8 to 13.1 ft) thick and approximately 60 metres (200 ft) in diameter, stands on an 8-meter (26 ft) tall pillar-like feature, and is located at a depth of 85 to 90 metres (279 to 295 ft). In March 2012, Ocean X formalized a partnership with entertainment producers Titan TV to produce a TV documentary series and documentary film. The group describes themselves as treasure hunters and salvage operators who specialize in underwater searches for sunken "antique high-end alcoholic beverages and historic artefacts". ![]() The discovery was made on Jby the Swedish-based "Ocean X Team" during a dive in the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland while searching for an old shipwreck.
