Here in Sweden their underwater discovery was tabloid gold. Both of the major tabloid papers ran this story on the front page with UFO references. Now and then, we hear more about it.

But it feels like a lot of hoo-ha was made in the beginning, they received funding, global attention, dolled up the website to make it more appealing for international journos and then realised that they hadn't discovered anything at all.

However, to keep interest going in their company and services, I think they are probably dragging this out. I believe they were genuinely excited in the beginning but now know that it's a geological formation and need to let us down gently.

That's my 2 cents.

You're probably right.
This will finish badly.

Returning BACK again on the 20th. I'm posting only the first sentence because the rest is mostly a re-cap of the story.

Update:

They've made another visit to the Object. Get the full update from http://www.oceanexplorer.se/ and watch the YouTube video from 1:01:30.

Short summary: He claims they had compass issues, "ghost shadows on the sonar," and then the ROV propellor broke which rendered the visit totally useless. He also reiterates that he has some really big news about this object but still isn't ready to tell us until he's had time to "look with the other scientists about it."

Thoughts?

Sounds like they could do with better equipment, really.

I just don't get it.

If you had actually discovered something ground breaking, unique and new to science then wouldn't you get a wiggle on to examine it. They found it almost 2 years ago and haven't even carried out 3 proper expeditions.

You can't even say it's funding issues as any savvy tech firm would love to get involved if it actually meant a world changing scientific event.

Fools gold anyone?

On his last couple of videos, he keeps stressing that he has some really big news coming up about the object but he isn't quite ready to share it yet. He always seems to bring up "the scientists" in a way which suggests that THEY have figured out what it is. Now how in the world would a "scientist" in a lab or elsewhere have any more information on the thing that him, or you or me? Anyone have a guess on what he could be talking about?

As far as I can tell, they've been promoting the Baltic Sea object less and less since late last summer - when the geo-scientist to whom they gave a material sample identified it as rock commonly found in glacial deposits around the region.

It's starting to look (to me, at least ...) as if they're quietly moving on and leaving this particular find behind.
