I just followed the link on our Facebook page over there. Lots of commentary, some of it very skeptical going on there.

They should have a better idea of what it is very soon.

No updates...

Their last update was on the 7th of June, 2012. Below is their last message from the website.

2012-06-07

BREAKING NEWS 2pm, The divers are now down and investigating the circle and reports from the ship say they are really amazed. There is definitely something unusual hiding at the seabed – a Mystery Beneath. More information and pictures will be released next week.

No word since, hope they are okay.

It is now 14th of June, 2012.

This is from their facebook group I doubt Morne is one of the team but is probably Swedish...

RE-POSTING TO KEEP IT ON TOP, AND TO KEEP ATTACK-OF-THE-STUPIDS INCIDENTS TO A MINIMUM.

THIS IS RUMOR CONTROL, DATED THURSDAY, JUNE 14th. HERE ARE THE FACTS:

We know this:

1. Ancylus sent divers down on Friday 8th of June, and the word from the boat was that the crew was “very excited”;

2. The ship returned Sunday 10th of June, and some of the folks here (who either STAY in Norrtälje, or very close to it) managed to speak to some crew members;

3. From THAT, we learned that what they (the crew) found was “not of this nature”, and that the ship was being re-supplied for a return trip to the site at the soonest opportunity. PLEASE NOTE! This was translated from SWEEDISH, so the EXACT wording could be different!

4. ALSO from a crew member (one of the divers if I recall), we learnt that a “Press Release” or “Press Conference” was planned for Monday;

5. Monday 11th of June: Dennis Åsberg (Team leader?) posted that “Everything is top secret now... because of the risks... hope you all understand this is no game. But the truth will be reported shortly.”
6. Monday evening, it was rumored that the crew were preparing to set out again that evening;
7. Wednesday, 13th of June: Stefan Ohlsson Uploaded a photo of the docks at Norrtälje Habour where Ancylus was moored. The ship is CONFIRMED to be gone. Still NO OFFICIAL WORD has been heard from the OX team since Dennis Åsberg’s post on Monday.

TO DATE, NO press conference / press release has occurred... We are all still waiting for information from the OX team...

And also on the facebook page but no source quoted

From Amjad Baig
There are THREE objects of interest – the main circular anomaly, a smaller secondary object like a “Gothic church window” 200 metres away and a 90ft high and 900ft wide rock outcrop with a crack running through it some 1500 metres South. The team have stated they are not really interested in the second anomaly, although the reason for this is unclear, given that it may be a fragment of the main anomaly that broke off on impact.
The objects lie in 80-85 metres depth of water.
Visibility is 2-3 feet maximum.
The object is 60 metres (approx 200ft wide) roughly equivalent to the wingspan of Boeing 747.
The main circular anomaly is not a rock formation.
Russian and US Navy ships are NOT looking for the object, nor are they blocking the OceanX team – this is unsubstantiated rumour. The annual BALTOPS operation has nothing to do with the OceanX exploration.

From their site they now have a link to Sweden news update at:

http://www.expressen.se/nyheter/sa-s...-pa-nara-hall/

I used Bing to translate the page into English...

Read something about "sandstone", not sure if they are meaning it was covered by sandstone or made of sandstone.

There is a video with images at the news site.

Here's the latest: (It's a stone...! Although, questions remain as to whether it is a natural formation or not, how it got there, what it's made of... and conspiracy theories abound.) -

NEWS RELEASE

15/6/2012, PRESS RELEASE

THE TREASURE HUNTERS, OCEAN X TEAM, DISCOVERED SOMETHING UNIQUE WHEN THEY DOVE DOWN TO THE MYSTERIOUS CIRCLE-SHAPED OBJECT IN THE BALTIC SEA

Treasure hunters confirm they have found something abnormal in the seabed

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 15, 2012

The Ocean X Team dove down to the circle-shaped object in the Baltic Sea and met something they never experienced before. First they thought it was just stone or a rock cliff, but after further observations the object appeared more as a huge mushroom, rising 3-4 meters/10-13 feet from the seabed, with rounded sides and rugged edges. The object had an egg shaped hole leading into it from the top, as an opening. On top of the object they also found strange stone circle formations, almost looking like small fireplaces. The stones were covered in something resembling soot.

“During my 20-year diving career, including 6000 dives, I have never seen anything like this. Normally stones don’t burn. I can’t explain what we saw, and I went down there to answer questions, but I came up with even more questions “, says Stefan Hogeborn, one of the divers at Ocean X Team.

The path to the object itself can be described as a runway or a downhill path that is flattened at the seabed with the object at the end of it.

“First we thought this was only stone, but this is something else. And since no volcanic activity has ever been reported in the Baltic Sea the find becomes even stranger. As laymen we can only speculate how this is made by nature, but this is the strangest thing I have ever experienced as a professional diver“, continues Peter Lindberg, one of the founder Ocean X Team.

Right now, scientists are examining samples from the circle-shaped object, and experts in sonar imaging are processing data from the ship to hopefully shed more light over the mysterious object." Source: http://www.oceanexplorer.se/

There is also an article with exclusive images in the Swedish media - http://www.expressen.se/nyheter/sa-s...-pa-nara-hall/

I wonder what our members and in particular image specialists make of this...?
