[dramatic music]
In June of 2011 the Swedish wreck divers Peter Lindberg and
Dennis Osberg stumbled upon something no one could explain.
Nearly 300 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Bothnia,
the sonar suddenly showed an astonishing image.
Down there in the cold dark waters lay an anomaly.
An object no one could identify.
It was almost perfectly round,
180 feet in diameter and it looked like a UFO.
Now they're about to experience the adventure of a lifetime.
They will embark upon an expedition
in an attempt to find out what it was they saw that day.
They found what can only be described as the wreckage of a space ship.
At first we wouldn't have an explanation for what this actually could be.
It could be man made.
You don't get any answers, you just get more questions.
It's an emotional roller coaster.
It's my planning and I am a bit anxious about it.
If anything happens, we're smoked.
He threatened me and my kids.
[pensive guitar music]
My name is Peter Lindberg
and I am a professional treasure hunter.
Treasure hunting is very much chasing the dream
to find the long lost wreck. It's a historical capsule.
And no one has touched it. I'm not so much in diving on wrecks
which people have already investigated. That's no fun.
The fun is to find something completely new.
It's thrilling and it's extremely fun.
With more than 20 years of diving experience, Peter
has taken part in many spectacular expeditions in the Baltic Sea.
In 1997 he explored the wreck
of the Yunesherpe, the Swedish merchant ship that sank in the first World War.
The cargo hold contained well-preserved bottles
of champaigne almost 100 years old.
It turned out to be a substantial find. The bottles were auctioned off
at Christie's for the record price of $2200 pounds per bottle.
That was in 1998. Today, the collector's price
is about $21,000 euros.
Together with his friend and entrepeneur Dennis Osberg,
he started the deep sea exploration company Ocean X Team.
What drives me is curiosity and I've always been a
curious guy, an explorer, and I want to find out new things.
To find that thing that nobody else has found.
Some sort of long term goal.
The territory for Dennis and Peter's expedition is centered in the Baltic Sea,
high up in the North of Europe, off the coast of Sweden and
eight other bordering countries.
Throughout history many ships have been lost in these
international waters.
It has been said that the Baltic and the Gulf of Bothnia
hold more than a 100 thousand wrecks.
A famous example is the Barcer, a Swedish warship that sank in the 1600s
and was salvaged more than 300 years later.
The hull was found to be almost completely intact.
Since the inlet is narrow and the fact that rain, ice and snow
are being discharged from the surrounding countries, the water
is brackish: a mixture of fresh and saltwater.
The low salinity gives the Baltic Sea excellent conservation qualities
for anything that sinks to the bottom.
In the summer of 2011, the Ocean X team were on a
routine expedition North of Orland.
However, things didn't go as planned.
We had rented an old fishing
vessel which we used, and we had problems already from
the beginning. The boat started leaking and we had to find a
dry dock in Finland to repair it and everything was just crazy.
Disheartened by the failed expedition, Peter has an idea.
On our way home, I knew we would pass
an area where there was another wreck, so we put the equipment
into the water and started searching, and
well it was less than an hour, I remember.
This strange, odd thing just turned up on the monitor.
My initial reaction when the
image turned up on the monitor. Hey guys here we have a UFO.
I got goose bumps all over my body.
I've never ever seen anything like that.
I could say that it's not a wreck, it's something
that looks very odd. Then we start measuring
and saw that it's nearly 60 meters in diameter.
It was perfectly round
like a mark on the bottom.
Remember I said to all the crew members be quiet about this.
Don't say anything until we know what it is.
After returning to Stockholm, the crew
stuides the images for weeks. But they just can't figure out what
what the anomaly actually is.
After many days of pondering, Dennis looks in another direction for help.
He wants to go public with the images.
Peter said to me, okay do whatever you do.
I called the newspaper.
That was the start of a new life.
Buckle up Star Wars nerds, you're gonna like this
one. It can only be described as the wreckage
of a crashed space ship.
It just exploded. We kind of unlocked up the Pandora Box.
Something unusual.
The news spread rapidly amongst both scientists and layman all over the world.
This anomaly is really tricky, I will say
I really can't say what it is. At first one wouldn't have an explanation for what
this actually could be. It definitely requires more work.
The telephone is ringing all the time. Radio stations, TV shows
300,000 visitors
per day on the webpage. Sitting on the computer
and its bing, bing, bing. I got like 50,000 emails.
But it didn't have the desired effect Peter and Dennis had hoped for.
There had been many theories. We have sects
telling us not to go there because it might be a trap.
If we touch it, it will explode and kill all the people in the world.
And that it might be a portal down to hell. So the fear is
very creative, but no one has come up with an explanation.
Everything is just speculations.
After a year, analyzing, researching, and hunting
it's finally time to head out to the mysterious object.
The expedition requires state of the art technology
staff, and mountains of supplies which is very costly.
The budget is set to a 120,000 euros.
Everyday has a price tag of more than 20,000 euros which means
they have less than a week to succeed.
Besides Peter and Dennis, the team is made up of experienced professional
divers, technical operators, and the ship's crew, lead by.
Captain Thomas.
Everything is my responsibility to have a synced ship
for all members aboard.
The captain is the boss and he knows what he's doing.
And of course you get annoyed when he coming down screaming at you, but
of course he's right.
[dramatic music]
So they found there way to the docks and are conducting the final interviews before.
Ocean X Team leaves the mainland behind them.
What do you think you'll find?
I'm very excited but at the same time I'm very
anxious because a lot of people are watching this.
There's no time for screw ups now.
When it's finally time to cast off, distubring weather reports begin to
come in. There's a storm raging at sea which could delay the team
for several days. Jeopardizing there already tight schedule.
The Ancilus is moving slowly through the great archipelago
towards the open sea, allowing the storm time to pass.
But in the warning things have become even
worse. The bad news troubles Captain Thomas.
Dennis and Peter gather round to hear the verdict.
Captain Thomas decides to
wait overnight sheltered by the surrounding islands.
Everyday this all about money.
It's ticking and the clock
is going and the money is just blowing away.
[somber music]
Every hour we spend here is
another loss on the object. That means less chance to find out
what it is. There are many ideas about what
the anomaly might be. The most common theories that come from people around
the world can be divided into three main categories.
Extraterrestrial, man-made, or natural phenomenon.
The idea of intelligent life forms existing
somewhere in the universe is not inconceivable.
Whether there has been visits from other civilizations or not
is an intriguing belief. The association of
flying saucer is obvious when looking at the smooth, round shapes of the anomaly.
The following morning weather conditions are excellent.
Sunshine and soft breezes that the team can finally
head out to the open sea and start the expedition. Everyone is in high spirits.
Even Captain Thomas. Calm and nice weather
everything fine.
The feeling is quite relieved.
It's a great feeling. I love this situation.
We'll have a meeting to inform the crew what will happen
and what we're going to do within the next 24 hours.
[applause]
The first challenge we have is to find the object
again and I know that's always a problem.
We have very sophisticated equipment so it shouldn't be any problem.
The team scans the sea bed with the help of two instruments.
The so called multi beam which creates details three dimensional
images of the ocean floor. The multi beam is
an advanced tool and covers relatively small areas which later
can be put together to create a bigger and detailed composite image.
To search much larger areas the team uses a
side scan sonar known as the Fish. It creates a
two dimensional image of the sea bed. A vital necessity in order to
locate the object again. Due to prevailing currents
and winds the coordinates taken a year before are not a
100% accurate. Peter must calculate an offset.
Therefore the search area is spread out
1.16 square miles. If they're lucky they can find the object quickly.
But it may also take several hours.
The object is 60 meters in diameter and we are at open sea
and if 60 meters sounds like a lot,
it's like a finding a needle in a haystack.
The anomaly lies in international waters.
And other nations or authorities around the Baltic Sea have shown
an interest in the object. Therefor the coordinates have been kept
secret. Being under surveillance is not a risk worth taking.
We have informed the entire crew
that they had to turn off all kind of tracking
but I think it's impossible
to protect ourselves from being tracked.
Even if strict radio silence
is observed on board it looks like The Ancylus has got company.
Suddenly we saw in the distant this must be
some kind of Navy ship heading directly on us.
Turn out to be a Navy.
And actually a Swedish one.
It shouldn't be lurking around in those waters.
They just stopped and were laying there and we were going in a search pattern
and they were in our way.
But then they went off.
Heading North. As the ship disappears into the distance,
the crew focused on scanning the ocean floor again.
But they're not alone.
The search has been going for several hours when night falls.
Most of the crew have gone to bed. And Peter and Dennis
take their first night shift.
Night turns into day
without any sign of the object when suddenly.
We have lost
our side scan sonar and it's only the drum
standing on off deck and the rest is on the bottom right now.
It's situations like this, Peter needs to make a critical
decision and he has to make it fast.
To lose the side scan sonar it will take much
longer time to search the area, because without the multi beam
we don't have the width, so we will lose a lot of time.
And time is money. Peter faces three alternatives.
Either they keep searching using only the multi beam
or they head back to Stockholm to get a new side scan sonar
both of these alternative will cost time and money.
The third alternative is try and retrieve the sonar in order to
resume the search as quickly as possible.
The chance to find it at the bottom is very, very small and
we don't know either if it's still working or not.
If we make the wrong decision we might lose the entire
project.
Finally Peter decides on the third alternative.
[intense brooding music]
The Ancylus arrives at the position where the equipment is
believed to be lost. The fish is too small
to locate. So they have to use a remote operated underwater vehicle.
Also known as an ROV. We have 200 meter
cable on the side scan sonar so we hope - like a line
on the bottom. The ROV has a small grabber arm
that Floris, the operator, hopes to use to reel in the Fish.
First they have to find the cable and time
is ticking away.
Finding the cable is one thing. Grabbing the cable with
the ROV is another thing, because the bottom is very, very soft.
And the visibility is gone directly as soon as
the ROV getting close the bottom. So even if we find the cable
it might be gone in a second.
Luck is on their side and the cable is found almost immediately.
Now they have to focus on grabbing the cable in zero
visibility. Floris relies on his gut instinct and
pure skill to succeed.
[dark dramatic music]
Floris is quite a young guy, so I guess he's
playing some computer games, but he is a natural
when it comes the ROV. I mean, he's a pilot from the beginning
so I think he has it in his veins.
Turned out good. Took about 15 minutes
to find it, so it went quite fast.
There still facing two critical issues. Can the fish be fixed
and if so, how long will it take?
I wasn't even worried not a little... quite much.
But now we have found it.
It had been a long night. It will be a long day.
Before they can continue so we have to start work.
After hours of
reparing the crew finally managed to mend the fish, but
this entire side operation has cost them nearly six hours!
Inevitably, the lowers the on board morale.
Well we have been searching now for 18 hours, but
we had to break for six hours when we had the
side scan fish on the bottom. But we have been
working for 12 hours effectively, and
we saw a shadow a few moments ago
so we go back and have a look again.
Maybe we'll find it in a couple of minutes.
The day turns into night again
and still no trace of the anomaly. The whole team is resting
except for the diver Stephan and first mate Kye
who are working the night shift. Kye is stearing the boat and Stephan
is carefully tracking the monitors. Of course we're getting frustrated
when we can't
have the exact spot where the object is.
This is actually very interesting.
I think we found it.
This is exactly what we're looking for.
This is obviously a different angle from what we've
seen before, so mark this spot.
After more than 48 hours
of searching they have finally found the object.
Peter!
Size of the object we've seen last year.
And it's round. The mood is much better now.
I mean, we had problems with a lot of things.
Now we're on the run again.
Now they must proceed with extreme caution.
Since they don't know what lies beneath them.
Something hard down there, some kind of gas well.
An oil well. It can be a meteorite.
If 95% of our fans were right,
then it is an alien spacecraft down there of course that would be
gold if it's not lethal then.
I'm very confused to tell you the truth. I think we can dismiss a lot
theories as soon as we have the first glimpse of the object.
But before even considering diving for the object
they to get a clear picture of the environment below the surface, and
calculate the risks. They put the ROV to work.
I just put a normal diving guage on the ROV
to be able to measure the temperature and the depth
of all the operational of the ROV. That is very good for us to know when we
are planning our dives in the future. Nothing is left to chance.
Besides the temperature and depth, the ROV will examine the
currents surrounding the object and retrieve material from the bottom,
which can be analyzed. I mean, this can be dangerous.
We have no clue what can be down there. Chemicals,
mechanical things, poison of some kind.
We have to know if there's any risk down there before
send down the divers.
The anomaly rests at 90 meters
that's 300 feet below the surface. At these depths the visibility
can be very restricted, especially when soft bottom sediments
are stirred up by the ROV.
Therefore, the team uses its sonar system to get the
first close up images of the object.
The ROV also manages to capture a clear and distinct
close up image of the objects surface.
It's something for sure. Looks man-made.
The man-made theory is also
very common amongst the Ocean X Team's followers.
Some people refer back to the mythical underwater city of Atlantis.
Others think it's a megalith, a sort of submerged Stonehenge.
There are other findings around the world that are difficult
to explain, like the Umaguni for instance outside Japan.
An enormous underwater structure that looks man-made.
Other theories concern modern man-made structures.
Like the Russian warship Norvgurot, built in the late
1800s, or even the mysterious Nazi Flying Saucer.
Hamadul. Some people think it might be the concrete
foundation of a lighthouse, but they are usually situated
in shallow waters. Other think a giant cable
drums, except the biggest known drums
barely reach half the size of the baltic anomaly.
The ROV is coming back up, so the team can calculate the
diving risk.
Since they still don't know what the object is,
all possible precautionary is being taken.
It's okay. With sufficient information about
the underwater environment, and no lethal radiation readings,
the team begin planning and preparing for the first dive.
I'm not gonna dive on this expedition myself. My job is
to supervise the operation. It's my planning and
in the end if something happens to them it's my neck.
Now we don't really know
what we're facing. So of course it's
uh, I'm a bit anxious about it. The dive which will be about
2 hours in duration, takes place in the cold Baltic waters.
Which normally are around six or seven degrees celcius.
But all of a sudden, the readings show that the temperature
right on top of the object has drastically dropped below zero.
Just recently we discovered that
minus 1 degree Celsius, which is actually
below the freezing point and that's
actually very surprising.
When diving one must always work with at least one other person so that they can
assist each other in case something goes wrong. Stephan
is diving with his partner Frederic, who has planned the whole operation.
He is meticulous in his planning.
I mean, he's the person who knows that the devil is in the details.
He plans and plans and thinks over the plans, and then he
does a replan. I would say without Frederic, I wouldn't
be able to do these dives. Deep sea diving is incredibly
risky and put great demands on the human body and equipment.
Aready at 20 meters a diver is at risk from
nitrogen narcosis. The symptons are similar to being
under the influencwith impaired judgment and poor
concentration. At 60 meteres
makes the oxygen content in normal air poisonous, which could be fatal.
To remedy this the diver breathes a mixture that
lowers the oxygen and nitrogen with the help of helium.
The deeper and longer the diver is down, the slower the
ascent, which means having to pause several times on the way up.
Otherwise the nitrogen expands creating
bubbles to the blood system. This give the diver decompression
sickness, also known as the bends.
If you by any chance
would get decompression sickness, there is a way to rescue
yourself from it anyway and that's to go to a recompression chamber.
But here we are way out in the Baltic Sea and we have
no recompression chamber so if anything happens we are
smoked. While they are down there will be a third diver up top.
His function is to be a rescue diver.
I will be assisting with the divers if there's any problems with the diving.
We will send up the buoy and we will se where they are and we will go there
I will go down to assist them if there is any trouble. They are getting close
to the descent but the Ancylus is engulfed by a fog which
reduces the dives safety levels considerably.
Peter has to make the most difficult
decision of his life. Because of the tight schedule
they don't have time to wait for the fog to disperse
so either they abort the entire the mission or they continue
under dangerous conditions. With the fog we have two alternatives.
One is that we wait for the fog to disappear, but we don't know how long
that will take. Two is that we dive anyway, but
if the divers run into problems then
we are in deep shit.
But we have taken the decision that they dive anyway.
When you descend in the Baltic Sea,
the first couple of meters there is daylight.
The deeper you go, the darker it gets.
So at 20 meters of depth there's almost no light at all.
At 40-50 meters, it's black
and at 90 meters it's like a black hole.
It's..nothing. During the descent the fog has
become even thicker. Peter has second thoughts about
his decision to let them dive.
During a dive to 90 meters under these conditions if something happens
to the divers, they'll want a kind of rescue
they can't go direct to the surface, because of they do, they die.
And on top of this we don't know what we will find down there.
When the divers finally reach 90 meters, they tie
a lifeline to the anchor, so they can find there way back.
Now Stephan and Frederic have only 10 minutes left
before they must begin their demanding ascent.
[unintelligible speaking]
When we went down we had the sonar pictures in our mind.
The thing to remember is
when you see a sonar picture that's actually 60 meters in diameter
and when we got down in pitch black water
you only see 1 meter ahead of you
so when we see the anomaly underwater
it's nothing like the sonar picture.
We have no clue what it is.
Of course the questions start to grow in your mind.
When we swam over it, it looked
like concrete or cement
when we touched it, it turned black!
What I've seen that looks
somewhere like this is when you have burned
plastic or anything that's burned or melted.
This was very mysterious for us.
The 10 minutes that Stephan and
Frederic have left on the object are already up and the slow
but dangerous ascent begins.
The longer we stay down there, the longer it will take
to get back to surface. 90 meters
of depth it would take around 90 minutes to get
back to the surface.
We are anxious and nervous standing up there not knowing.
If this worked well or not.
Just imagine this buoy popping up somewhere and then you have a
really stressful situation, trying to save the divers.
When you get back to the surface,
and you stand on the boat's deck, everything just
releases in you. All the adrenaline that kept you alive
that kept you in work
disappears. And of course, I might look a little
sad, and that's just cause I've been so tensed
for two hours.
The most peculiar thing
or the strangest thing was a hole. It was like a circle...
...2-3 meters in width and...
like a frame around it. I mean, like a square frame
and circular hole. And that's kind of weird.
It's a magic moment in my head.
I'm waiting for this for a long time to see these pictures.
My heart is beating fast. You see what you believe is a rock
and when you look closer it's more similar to concrete.
It’s like...It’s quite symetric to be a regular rock...
It's like somebody molded it before it actually
turned into stone.
The amazing thing here is that you get any answers.
You just get more questions.
I don't have a lot
ideas of what it can be. I try to take photos
documentation, collect samples, and I let scientists
come up with the ideas of what it can be.
So I don't really have a clue. It's just too big a question.
That was probably the most important dive I've ever done in my life.
And I've done maybe 6000 dives in my life.
I would die for an expert to tell me what
I've seen.
After a dive like this, Stephan and
Frederic have to spend about 12 hours on the surface before it's
safe to go back down again. Therefore they've run
out of time. So early next morning the crew weighs anchor
and the ship heads back to dry land again.
We didn't get so many dives as we wanted to and another big problem
is that the multi beam data which creates the 3d imagery
is incomplete. We have burned a lot of money
on it and it was very important for this expedition.
But a positive thing is that we have
brought some samples up so I hope it will enough for some experts
to give us some answers.
It's a strange stone, it's black. That can be a natural
reason for that. It looks like it burned.
But why? I don't know.
The last of the three common theories is that the anomaly is
natural phenomena. Either a structure caused perhaps by
a gas pocket or a volcano throwing up lava which
created the mystical anomaly. And there are also
several theories claiming the anomaly to be meteorite.
Meteorites are sited every now and then and there are many well known
craters around the world. Could this explain the weird shapes
and black stones which is the anomaly.
The time has finally come to get
some answers. Peter and Dennis start off with a meeting with
Andreas Ollson, an expert in underwater archaeology.
It looks like
perhaps call it a wall or
that it's something you can walk in. But it's definitely very
sharp edge and I haven't seen
this before and when I just look it now it
definitely look man-made.
It looks man-made in eyes, but he's the knowing guy,
a scientist, and when he says
things like that I get♪whoo ♪
If it is man-made it must be carved out from the cliff itself
because all you see there is a hard surface.
It's a mineral or something.
My immediate reaction was this is some kind concrete construction.
Something modern. I think 20th century
or perhaps late 19th century, but it
definitely from the imagery it looks like it
could be man-made. To me it looks like...
when you look at that sharp line that it has a
different density. And it almost looks like its
steel or something. Perhaps it's a much harder metal.
You have to deal many different experts
for a full picture. Yeah, for sure. That's the next step.
So the regular shape means the object could be man-made.
But if that's the case, where do the burnt looking stones come from?
Could it perhaps be explained by volcanism in
the Baltic basin. Marine Geologist Martin Jacobson at.
Stockhom University might have the answer.
That would be extremely interesting because that would mean we have volanism,
at a time we wouldn't expect it at all. It is
a very exciting result purely scientifically
but I would be interested into go even further looking into.
The burnt stones are not from the Baltic basin, were they heated somewhere else?
Like for example, the outer atmosphere.
Meaning that the anomaly would be a huge meteorite
resting in the depths. We have very nice example
of meteorite impacts in Sweden, but it would probably be a bigger
imprint in the bedrock geology around and we would have seen that in maps
before, so it doesn't point to that to me.
Peter and Dennis need more answers.
They meet geologist Falker Brukert who has more than 30 years of experience
with rocks. He has examined the material and is ready to give
his opinion on how the rocks were created.
Alright, so if you look at the side that I sort of smacked
you see it has very fine crystals
that indicate that
we had a molten rock, and a molten rock chilled very
rapidly and therefore the crystals didn't have time to grow.
Therefore that's how we identify a volcanic rock.
So I don't know why you find a volcanic
rock in the middle of the Northern Baltic.
My best interpretation is that glaciers have
transported it there. So it's official. The rock is
volcanic which might have been transported there by glaciers.
But how could the anomaly's weird shape be explained?
Peter and Dennis show Falker the video material,
Hoping it will reveal more clues.
Could the shapes be explained by some
thing lying beneath the volcanic rock surface?
It looks like a crust. Like a thick crust.
You have this black material shining through the cracks.
Or that could just be
mud that's all - No, this is not mud.
One would have to see whether the
material that's really underneath is the same that's on top.
What I really would need to look at this more closely is a sample of that
directly from your object. The surfaces can be deceiving.
Don't really say what the interior of the rock looks like.
So the big questions right now are.
Did the glaciers transport it there? And what lies beneath?
Well from my point of view it could almost be Millenium Falcon.
Right now I think it's important to have more information
before we can pursue any theory. We have to very open.
We have in Sweden for example
everything has been all written by the ice
not really machine made or not look very realistic.
Geologists tend to explain
this part of a geologic phenomena and perhaps
biologists according to his or her discipline.
So we must have many disciplines. We must see this from many point of views.
We create a holistic picture of this in order to find
what it is actually.
Keeping an open mind, could it be some sort of alien vessel resting beneath the stone
Klaus Swan a renowned journalist and chairman
of UFO Sweden gives his opinion.
Our oceans are not explored at all, really.
There so much space so there are of course surprises.
There could be things of course that aliens visited us hundreds
of thousands of years still left down there.
That would be quite easy to see. It would be quite easy to drill your way down
to see if there is anything metallic underneath the
stone. Today it's only speculation, but
it triggers our imagination and we must try to find the solution of course.
So there's only one thing left to do.
Peter and Dennis have to head out to see again. In order to get the final answers.
Today we want to find out what's inside the object.
We have to do a core drilling and that's a huge operation.
We're talking millions of euros.
When Peter and Dennis began to prepare for
another expedition, what wasn't supposed to happen
happened.
Rumors and speculation begin to surface
saying the object is nothing but a pile of rocks.
I got pissed off. I wake this morning and see this shit.
From Fox News. And they are writing about we have
found a rock and the information comes from Sweden.
People think they are right, now. That's the sad.
It's harder for us now to convince
companies to get into this. When Fox do this
it's pissing me off... yeah.
Several months pass and these rumors harden into a global belief.
But Dennis refuses to give up his search
for the truth.
Any luck with the sponsors? We have not found them.
We must find other things
to get money into the project.
In an act of desperation, Dennis begins selling off
branded merchandise in order to scrape together enough money for a new expedition.
There had been a long time with lots of
struggling. There's a kind of frustration in me.
To work with this you must have patience.
It's all about patience here. There attempts to finance begin to
provoke some people who think Peter and Dennis are trying to make money
out of nothing. Even some of the fans who were once enthusiastic
have lost faith in them. Peter and Dennis have become
a laughing stock. "Quickly Peter put on your dive suit."
I don't have a suit, we're broke, remember?
The Baltic Sea Anomaly. The search for the anomaly continues... yadayadaya.
Whatever. Peter is disheartened and
distances himself further and further away from the project.
Dennis on the other hand keeps on fighting, but now
it's to clear there own names.
We are no hoax. We are treasure hunters.
Why should we lie about this. Even Dennis
has to draw the line when he and above all his family
begin to receive intimidating messages.
Notice the dark night Mr. Osberg.
The dark death. Your health.
It's good that you don't dive in the winter times.
So many accidents happen then.
So hello to your little kids. They are so sweet.
Perhaps I meet them in the kindergarten.
What have I done to deserve this?
He threatened me and my kids.
But Dennis struggle is also
inspiring. Every now and then they still receive
well wishes and kind support from fans who find Peter's and Dennis's
work important.
The emails are not scientific they are also not represented to the society.
It would be real sad if we actually stopped the study.
Think about if that were abandoned just because
some people in society there are no miracles there are no
such things.
I think it would be a scandal almost if we don't
look at what it is actually.
One of their enthusiastic followers has spent a couple of months trying to
restore the corrupted data from the mult beam.
After much hard work he has been able to put together new unique images
reveal the object and a large part of the surrounding area.
As a last ditch effort, Peter and Dennis, together with Stephan the diver
come together to see if they can shed some light upon the mystery.
This is going to be very interesting for me
to see a bigger view. To take a step back actually
see the whole picture. What we'll see is very
interesting because we have just seen it as a 2d side scan
sonar image, but now we will have a fly by through the
area and it's quite amazing.
The multi beam interpretation shows something absolutely
astonishing. 1500 meters south of the object
there's a small underwater mountain divided by a canyon.
Leading off this underwater feature is a ridge
that runs all the way to the object.
The 3D image
also shows another ridge heading towards a second
anomaly. When studying the side scan image
the resemblance to the first anomaly is striking. Which could mean.
That they are in some way connected.
Well we have two current shaped endings of it.
And if we take the disturbances away we will have a straight line.
At least on this side.
Makes it look like maybe not natural.
This second anomaly might be the most interesting.
It actually looks like.
Something has hit the mountain, but I don't think
it is like that. I think that is a coincidence, but
I don't know!
[swelling dramatic music]
Maybe I've worked with this too long now. Maybe I'm crazy
but in my eyes I see
crash site.
[epic dramatic music]
Perhaps I'll never find out.
And I hope to live with that.
But one thing is for sure. I will never stop thinking about it.
I'm divided in two about an answer.
It might be a very boring answer and maybe I can live without.
Or the answer will surprise me.
And in that case
I'm looking forward to it.
[intense dramatic music]
