Depends on the vintage, doesn't it?

yeah, this flying saucer speculation takes the cake. Stuff like 
this gives real UFO research, if there is such a thing, a bad name.


I saw something strange in the sky.

Wow! A UFO! Do you think it came from within the solar system or outside it?

(Of course it's a UFO. Unidentified flying object, or, at least, 
the appearance of one.)

The wreck files: Have scientists found a crashed flying saucer on the seabed?
Unidentified object is sitting on the ocean floor between Sweden and Finland
By DANIEL BATES
Last updated at 7:38 AM on 2nd August 2011

A mysterious circle on a grainy scan, this is what scientists are
claiming is finally evidence that Earth has been visited by aliens.
Researchers have claimed the fuzzy outline is a flying saucer that
ended up 300ft down on the ocean floor between Sweden and Finland.
They were stunned when sonar scans taken while searching for a
century-old wreck showed up the shape against the dirt.

Thanks for bringing this bizarre off-the-wall article to our attention. ;-)

A few comments from the peanut gallery:

...

 Now, however, his team do not have the money or
 resources to examine the shape further.

Hopefully, someone with a little spare cash will come forth soon... No
venture, no gain. Think of the bragging rights!

...

 Experts have also pointed out that even the idea of
 a flying saucer as a round object might be wrong -
 the first sighting of such a craft later turned out
 to be a reporting error.

What a blithering idiotic proclamation to make at the end of an
article. In reference to what ...first sighting. It means absolutely
nothing!

Great kid. Don't get cocky

There is one obvious natural phenomenon that is circular - a volcanic crater -
also not unknown on the sea floor. The discoloration could be ejecta carried by
the current.

Did you see they are selling some bottle for 20,000 euros? Who would be 
so dumb as to pay that much for liquor from 1907? See:


http://www.oceanexplorer.se/index.html

It does not seem to be very profitable though. They are asking for 
donations.


Arthur Clarke said one sure way to lose a fortune is to find sunken 
treasure. He actually did find undersea treasure, and he lost his shirt 
recovering it. Quite a story. That was a long time ago. I think the 
methods of recovering stuff from underwater are cheaper and better now. See
