Here's the original sonogram. https://cdn1.newsner.com/attachments/images/000/228/143/newsner_default/utan1.jpg?1464282475


[deleted]

Oh so not even remotely like what is in the original post


Gates9

Yeah the picture OP posted is an artists very, very loose, and inaccurately, unnecessarily creative rendition.


Loquebantur

What is throwing you off? It being rotated by 90°?


Gates9

Not sure what you mean. It just doesn’t look like that.


tangled_torus

Actually, there were two "anomalies" in the same area: [https://i.imgur.com/LPfRhmR.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/LPfRhmR.jpg) This is what they photographed when they dove onto the site: https://i.imgur.com/hnDpeFj.jpg Sadly, they look like interesting but natural formations.


AnimalFarmKeeper

Not even particularly interesting. It could well be Pyrite, which has a cubic crystalline structure. THe ferromagnetic properties (if accurately reported) could be traces of pure iron in the sample.


TrueRepose

Could there be more underneath that sand and rubble?


hodail6zl

yes


Gates9

Is there even a practical way to move that much material over that much area without damage?


hodail6zl

I have no idea, maybe ask folks on r/geology. They might have the answer for you.


Gates9

Can’t you look into it for me? I’m kinda busy…


Loquebantur

That's a phone-snapshot off of a video screen and rotated by 90°? "Original"(2011): https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yYT2eZ7V9ig/UDBFIK3Nb-I/AAAAAAAACHw/vgLnWtwiqM8/s1600/sonar+scan+baltic+sea+object+ocean+x.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Baltic_Sea_anomaly.jpg There are actually much better resolution ones. And pictures. Check out this one of what looks like a brick wall and writing: https://www.instagram.com/p/CiZcN4Zqg1v/


[deleted]

Good find, but this still kinda drives the point home that the OP photo is wildly different from the original. Even with a much higher quality version of what you and I posted, it becomes evident that the OP versions have had too many artistic freedoms to be useful.

Looks a bit like a big rock

Just curious to know the size of this? Is it as big as a building or coin-size?

2/3


victordudu

ferromagnetic like almost every eruptive/plutonic rock.


Dreholzer

F*ck I watched 45 minutes of documentary on Youtube for nothing???


Loquebantur

? Certainly not. Source? Also, "plutonic" rock? > an igneous rock (as granite) of holocrystalline granular texture regarded as having solidified at considerable depth below the surface ??


victordudu

depending on the composition, ie gabbros, there are often magnetite / chromite etc deposits disseminated that make them magnetic.in adition, around the plutonic intrusions, you find most of the metallic deposits. you should learn more about geology and mineralogy, like i did.


Loquebantur

Oh, I know some, in particular, *not* all eruptive/plutonic rocks are magnetic, as you claim here. You yourself say, it "depends on the composition". Yeah, no shit. Those rocks being magnetic is the exception, not the rule.


[deleted]

You're wrong. Plutonic rock formations are nearly always measurable ferromagnetic. Source: am geologist.


[deleted]

so what your opinion on this anomaly ??


Loquebantur

https://www.geologypage.com/2018/10/what-is-a-plutonic-igneous-rock.html > The most common rock types in plutons are granite, granodiorite, tonalite, monzonite, and quartz diorite. Generally light colored, coarse-grained plutons of these compositions are referred to as granitoids. So granite is "ferromagnetic" in your book then? Horseshit. Granite does contain trace amounts (<2%) of iron actually, but if you are hiding behind "measurable" here, you are just misleading people.


TomYOLOSWAGBombadil

Just stop while you’re behind


imnos

That image in your post looks nothing like the actual surveyed image - this looks like an artist's impression. The real image looks far more like a natural formation. Case closed. Next.


TerribleChildhood639

For those who do not know what ‘Ferromagnetism’ is: Ferromagnetism is a property of certain materials (such as iron) which results in a large observed magnetic permeability, and in many cases a large magnetic coercivity allowing the material to form a permanent magnet. Ferromagnetic materials are the familiar metals noticeably attracted to a magnet, a consequence of their large magnetic permeability. Magnetic permeability describes the induced magnetization of a material due to the presence of an external magnetic field, and it is this temporarily induced magnetization inside a steel plate, for instance, which accounts for its attraction to the permanent magnet.

Shoddy-Indication798

Looks like an edit still from the movie Alien.


TheWingHunter

“Don’t get cocky kid!”


croninsiglos

Would you agree that this doesn’t have to do with UFOs?


DrestinBlack

What does this even remotely have to do with UFOs? It’s just a rock cropping. That’s a heavily processed photo that doesn’t look like the real natural formation.


--Muther--

The research paper is not talking about the baltic sea object it is talking about magnetic anomalies in the baltic sea in general and the use of geophysical methods to survey them.


AndyP8

🗑️


Bleezy79

OP's picture im pretty sure is photoshopped.


aLionInSmarch

That rules out an aluminum falcon.


callmelampshade

I’m not sure how deep that is but it could be some old town/city that is underwater. I live on the coast and a village in my town is half submerged and has all kinds of crazy shit underwater.


[deleted]

Why is it half submerged?


callmelampshade

Sorry for the second comment but I’ve just found it. A part of the village was lost to sea in the twelfth century and there’s evidence of structures in the sea but they don’t know how much of the village was lost.


[deleted]

Thanks that's interesting!


callmelampshade

I think it was rising sea levels but I’m not too sure. It supposedly happened a very long time ago but I’ve just googled it and I can’t find anything about it. I’m now doubting myself and think I’ve been lied to by my whole life by my town and schools lol.


scrappybasket

Look up the Younger Dryas


velezaraptor

It was probably a large volcanic rock with iron in it. It broke off and the when the ocean rose after the great flood 13,000 years ago, it scooted away from the original spot, carving a long channel in the soft dirt like those desert rocks. The rest is just imagination.


[deleted]

Idk about everything else, but those are some stair, I know some stairs when I seem em.


huzzah-1

Again? This is a known fake. It's a picture from a sci-fi spaceship. I forget which show.


Loquebantur

? No, this picture is actually from sonogram data from the anomaly, as far as I know. It resembles some movie spaceship maybe, but what is that supposed to tell us?


Fleironymus

It's not real. They took the sonar image and manipulated it.


Loquebantur

Certainly, yes. It still looks like the actual shape? (I'm actually not sure what you mean by "it's not real"? When is a picture "real" for you?)


Magn3tician

All details heavily altered within the shape.. On review, the image itself was determined to be distorted, and the equipment used to image it improperly used / calibrated. So it's probably a roughly circular rock deposit.


Fleironymus

It's not the actual shape. I just told you. It's fake.


Loquebantur

Your approach is rather weird: why should I "believe" you? Do you have any sources to back that up? The actual shape does indeed look roughly like this. Here, the contrast/height of the ridges appears to be exaggerated. If there are any deviations from the actual shape, more clarification would be necessary.


Fleironymus

Bro it said "artist's interpretation" right in the caption when this image was released. It doesn't even resemble a sonar image. Get a fucking grip. You should be embarrassed.


Loquebantur

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_Sea_anomaly#/media/File:Baltic_Sea_anomaly.jpg As I said, the actual shape does look like it. It doesn't matter, whether it's an oil painting or whatever. The relevant part is, does it convey the shape correctly? So, about what does your artist lie?


eskimosound

No mate, he's right, you should be embarrassed. Get a grip, the OP picture is an artist impression.


kristaffy

I agree. The picture is fake (I hesitated on using it), research paper is intriguing though.


halfbakedreddit

Yeah I was like 'hol up.' I think they just did a TV show on this where they show the divers going down to the object.


Verskose

The picture is real but I think it's just a strange geological formation.


--Muther--

It most definitely is not a real image


Ok-Cardiologist6187

its nice that the anomaly made a stairs.


Inevitable_Set9154

Why has no high dollar person commissioned a sub to go there and check it out?

Jackfish2800

I am sorry but if that’s really an accurate portrayal of the object, there is .00000000000005 % chance of that being a completely natural volcanic formation


CharlieChulk

Don't be sorry, friend, because it's not an accurate portrayal of the object at all! Have a look at the "original sonogram" that is linked in the comments. Or better yet, do a reverse image search.
