00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,680
[dramatic music]
2
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:18,680
In June of 2011 the Swedish
wreck divers Peter Lindberg and
3
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,280
Dennis Osberg stumbled upon
something no one could explain.
4
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,280
Nearly 300 feet below the
surface of the Gulf of Bothnia,
5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,960
the sonar suddenly showed
an astonishing image.
6
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,840
Down there in the cold
dark waters lay an anomaly.
7
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,440
An object no one could identify.
8
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:45,920
It was almost perfectly round,
9
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,640
180 feet in diameter
and it looked like a UFO.
10
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,880
Now they're about to experience
the adventure of a lifetime.
11
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,080
They will embark upon an expedition
12
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,240
in an attempt to find out
what it was they saw that day.
13
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,520
They found what can only be described
as the wreckage of a space ship.
14
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,520
At first we wouldn't have an explanation
for what this actually could be.
15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,040
It could be man made.
16
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,840
You don't get any answers,
you just get more questions.
17
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,360
It's an emotional roller coaster.
18
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,800
It's my planning and I
am a bit anxious about it.
19
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,960
If anything happens, we're smoked.
20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,640
He threatened me and my kids.
21
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,480
[pensive guitar music]
22
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,760
My name is Peter Lindberg
23
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,520
and I am a professional treasure hunter.
24
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,400
Treasure hunting is very
much chasing the dream
25
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:06,080
to find the long lost wreck.
It's a historical capsule.
26
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,320
And no one has touched it. I'm
not so much in diving on wrecks
27
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,640
which people have already
investigated. That's no fun.
28
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,880
The fun is to find
something completely new.
29
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:20,840
It's thrilling and it's extremely fun.
30
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,120
With more than 20 years
of diving experience, Peter
31
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,560
has taken part in many spectacular
expeditions in the Baltic Sea.
32
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,400
In 1997 he explored the wreck
33
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,280
of the Yunesherpe, the Swedish merchant
ship that sank in the first World War.
34
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,480
The cargo hold contained
well-preserved bottles
35
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,760
of champaigne almost 100 years old.
36
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,920
It turned out to be a substantial
find. The bottles were auctioned off
37
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,880
at Christie's for the record
price of $2200 pounds per bottle.
38
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:04,080
That was in 1998.
Today, the collector's price
39
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,640
is about $21,000 euros.
40
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,480
Together with his friend and
entrepeneur Dennis Osberg,
41
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,440
he started the deep sea
exploration company Ocean X Team.
42
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,960
What drives me is curiosity
and I've always been a
43
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,040
curious guy, an explorer, and
I want to find out new things.
44
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,120
To find that thing that
nobody else has found.
45
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,400
Some sort of long term goal.
46
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,920
The territory for Dennis and Peter's
expedition is centered in the Baltic Sea,
47
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,800
high up in the North of Europe,
off the coast of Sweden and
48
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,560
eight other bordering countries.
49
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,800
Throughout history many
ships have been lost in these
50
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,920
international waters.
51
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,480
It has been said that the
Baltic and the Gulf of Bothnia
52
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,600
hold more than a 100 thousand wrecks.
53
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,120
A famous example is the Barcer, a
Swedish warship that sank in the 1600s
54
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,480
and was salvaged more than 300 years later.
55
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,720
The hull was found to be
almost completely intact.
56
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,200
Since the inlet is narrow and
the fact that rain, ice and snow
57
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,560
are being discharged from the
surrounding countries, the water
58
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,720
is brackish: a mixture
of fresh and saltwater.
59
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,600
The low salinity gives the Baltic
Sea excellent conservation qualities
60
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,640
for anything that sinks to the bottom.
61
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,040
In the summer of 2011,
the Ocean X team were on a
62
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,000
routine expedition North of Orland.
63
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,000
However, things didn't go as planned.
64
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,800
We had rented an old fishing
65
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:51,680
vessel which we used, and
we had problems already from
66
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,640
the beginning. The boat started
leaking and we had to find a
67
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,320
dry dock in Finland to repair it
and everything was just crazy.
68
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:07,880
Disheartened by the failed
expedition, Peter has an idea.
69
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:12,600
On our way home, I knew we would pass
70
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:18,160
an area where there was another
wreck, so we put the equipment
71
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,440
into the water and started searching, and
72
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,640
well it was less than an hour, I remember.
73
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:33,240
This strange, odd thing
just turned up on the monitor.
74
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,400
My initial reaction when the
75
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,440
image turned up on the monitor.
Hey guys here we have a UFO.
76
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,680
I got goose bumps all over my body.
77
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,880
I've never ever seen anything like that.
78
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,160
I could say that it's not
a wreck, it's something
79
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,400
that looks very odd.
Then we start measuring
80
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,320
and saw that it's nearly
60 meters in diameter.
81
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,520
It was perfectly round
82
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,760
like a mark on the bottom.
83
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,000
Remember I said to all the
crew members be quiet about this.
84
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,240
Don't say anything
until we know what it is.
85
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:28,480
After returning to Stockholm, the crew
86
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,480
stuides the images for weeks.
But they just can't figure out what
87
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,960
what the anomaly actually is.
88
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,920
After many days of pondering, Dennis
looks in another direction for help.
89
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,200
He wants to go public with the images.
90
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,200
Peter said to me, okay do whatever you do.
91
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,400
I called the newspaper.
92
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,880
That was the start of a new life.
93
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,920
Buckle up Star Wars
nerds, you're gonna like this
94
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:01,840
one. It can only be
described as the wreckage
95
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,120
of a crashed space ship.
96
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,120
It just exploded. We kind of
unlocked up the Pandora Box.
97
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,560
Something unusual.
98
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,520
The news spread rapidly amongst both
scientists and layman all over the world.
99
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,000
This anomaly is really tricky, I will say
100
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,000
I really can't say what it is. At first one
wouldn't have an explanation for what
101
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,240
this actually could be. It
definitely requires more work.
102
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,160
The telephone is ringing all the
time. Radio stations, TV shows
103
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,400
300,000 visitors
104
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,560
per day on the webpage.
Sitting on the computer
105
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,080
and its bing, bing, bing.
I got like 50,000 emails.
106
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,080
But it didn't have the desired effect
Peter and Dennis had hoped for.
107
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,320
There had been many theories. We have sects
108
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,560
telling us not to go there
because it might be a trap.
109
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,800
If we touch it, it will explode
and kill all the people in the world.
110
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,760
And that it might be a portal
down to hell. So the fear is
111
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,040
very creative, but no one has
come up with an explanation.
112
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,560
Everything is just speculations.
113
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,480
After a year, analyzing,
researching, and hunting
114
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,520
it's finally time to head
out to the mysterious object.
115
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,840
The expedition requires
state of the art technology
116
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,120
staff, and mountains of
supplies which is very costly.
117
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,200
The budget is set to a 120,000 euros.
118
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,200
Everyday has a price tag of more
than 20,000 euros which means
119
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,480
they have less than a week to succeed.
120
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,880
Besides Peter and Dennis, the team
is made up of experienced professional
121
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,840
divers, technical operators,
and the ship's crew, lead by.
122
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,200
Captain Thomas.
123
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,800
Everything is my responsibility
to have a synced ship
124
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,760
for all members aboard.
125
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,520
The captain is the boss and
he knows what he's doing.
126
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,720
And of course you get annoyed when
he coming down screaming at you, but
127
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,960
of course he's right.
128
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:52,120
[dramatic music]
129
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,160
So they found there way to the docks and
are conducting the final interviews before.
130
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,080
Ocean X Team leaves
the mainland behind them.
131
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,560
What do you think you'll find?
132
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,440
I'm very excited but at
the same time I'm very
133
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,520
anxious because a lot of
people are watching this.
134
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:23,080
There's no time for screw ups now.
135
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,040
When it's finally time to cast off,
distubring weather reports begin to
136
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,280
come in. There's a storm raging
at sea which could delay the team
137
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,280
for several days. Jeopardizing
there already tight schedule.
138
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,000
The Ancilus is moving slowly
through the great archipelago
139
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,240
towards the open sea,
allowing the storm time to pass.
140
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,400
But in the warning things have become even
141
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,440
worse. The bad news
troubles Captain Thomas.
142
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,440
Dennis and Peter gather
round to hear the verdict.
143
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,000
Captain Thomas decides to
144
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,000
wait overnight sheltered
by the surrounding islands.
145
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,200
Everyday this all about money.
146
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,480
It's ticking and the clock
147
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,520
is going and the money
is just blowing away.
148
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:50,680
[somber music]
149
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,520
Every hour we spend here is
150
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:03,480
another loss on the object. That
means less chance to find out
151
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,000
what it is. There are many ideas about what
152
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,960
the anomaly might be. The most common
theories that come from people around
153
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,160
the world can be divided
into three main categories.
154
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,400
Extraterrestrial, man-made,
or natural phenomenon.
155
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,400
The idea of intelligent life forms existing
156
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,680
somewhere in the universe
is not inconceivable.
157
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,800
Whether there has been visits
from other civilizations or not
158
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,040
is an intriguing belief. The association of
159
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,080
flying saucer is obvious when looking at
the smooth, round shapes of the anomaly.
160
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,600
The following morning
weather conditions are excellent.
161
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,000
Sunshine and soft breezes
that the team can finally
162
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,000
head out to the open sea and start the
expedition. Everyone is in high spirits.
163
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,000
Even Captain Thomas. Calm and nice weather
164
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,240
everything fine.
165
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,640
The feeling is quite relieved.
166
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:22,840
It's a great feeling.
I love this situation.
167
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,040
We'll have a meeting to
inform the crew what will happen
168
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,040
and what we're going to
do within the next 24 hours.
169
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,680
[applause]
170
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,920
The first challenge we
have is to find the object
171
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,160
again and I know that's always a problem.
172
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,440
We have very sophisticated
equipment so it shouldn't be any problem.
173
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,480
The team scans the sea bed
with the help of two instruments.
174
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,440
The so called multi beam which
creates details three dimensional
175
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,640
images of the ocean
floor. The multi beam is
176
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:12,880
an advanced tool and covers
relatively small areas which later
177
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,080
can be put together to create a
bigger and detailed composite image.
178
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,320
To search much larger areas the team uses a
179
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,560
side scan sonar known
as the Fish. It creates a
180
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,440
two dimensional image of the
sea bed. A vital necessity in order to
181
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,640
locate the object again.
Due to prevailing currents
182
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,920
and winds the coordinates
taken a year before are not a
183
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,160
100% accurate. Peter
must calculate an offset.
184
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,400
Therefore the search area is spread out
185
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,360
1.16 square miles. If they're lucky
they can find the object quickly.
186
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,560
But it may also take several hours.
187
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,800
The object is 60 meters in
diameter and we are at open sea
188
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,080
and if 60 meters sounds like a lot,
189
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,080
it's like a finding a needle in a haystack.
190
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,680
The anomaly lies in international waters.
191
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,680
And other nations or authorities
around the Baltic Sea have shown
192
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,920
an interest in the object. Therefor
the coordinates have been kept
193
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,920
secret. Being under surveillance
is not a risk worth taking.
194
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,160
We have informed the entire crew
195
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,320
that they had to turn
off all kind of tracking
196
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,560
but I think it's impossible
197
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,760
to protect ourselves from being tracked.
198
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,040
Even if strict radio silence
199
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,040
is observed on board it looks
like The Ancylus has got company.
200
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,120
Suddenly we saw in the distant this must be
201
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,360
some kind of Navy ship
heading directly on us.
202
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,600
Turn out to be a Navy.
203
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,840
And actually a Swedish one.
204
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,880
It shouldn't be lurking
around in those waters.
205
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,480
They just stopped and were laying there
and we were going in a search pattern
206
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,480
and they were in our way.
207
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,960
But then they went off.
208
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,960
Heading North. As the ship
disappears into the distance,
209
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,200
the crew focused on
scanning the ocean floor again.
210
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,320
But they're not alone.
211
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,560
The search has been going for
several hours when night falls.
212
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,560
Most of the crew have gone
to bed. And Peter and Dennis
213
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,800
take their first night shift.
214
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,040
Night turns into day
215
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,040
without any sign of the
object when suddenly.
216
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,480
We have lost
217
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,800
our side scan sonar and it's only the drum
218
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,040
standing on off deck and the
rest is on the bottom right now.
219
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,080
It's situations like this,
Peter needs to make a critical
220
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:32,320
decision and he has to make it fast.
221
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:36,480
To lose the side scan
sonar it will take much
222
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,760
longer time to search the area,
because without the multi beam
223
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,920
we don't have the width,
so we will lose a lot of time.
224
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,160
And time is money. Peter
faces three alternatives.
225
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,120
Either they keep searching
using only the multi beam
226
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,320
or they head back to Stockholm
to get a new side scan sonar
227
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:01,640
both of these alternative
will cost time and money.
228
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,920
The third alternative is try and
retrieve the sonar in order to
229
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,160
resume the search as quickly as possible.
230
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,120
The chance to find it at the
bottom is very, very small and
231
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,360
we don't know either if
it's still working or not.
232
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,360
If we make the wrong
decision we might lose the entire
233
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,760
project.
234
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,800
Finally Peter decides
on the third alternative.
235
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,240
[intense brooding music]
236
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,800
The Ancylus arrives at the
position where the equipment is
237
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,000
believed to be lost. The fish is too small
238
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,040
to locate. So they have to use a
remote operated underwater vehicle.
239
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,280
Also known as an ROV. We have 200 meter
240
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,560
cable on the side scan
sonar so we hope - like a line
241
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,600
on the bottom. The ROV
has a small grabber arm
242
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,840
that Floris, the operator,
hopes to use to reel in the Fish.
243
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,840
First they have to find the cable and time
244
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,040
is ticking away.
245
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,240
Finding the cable is one
thing. Grabbing the cable with
246
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,560
the ROV is another thing,
because the bottom is very, very soft.
247
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,800
And the visibility is
gone directly as soon as
248
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,720
the ROV getting close the
bottom. So even if we find the cable
249
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,200
it might be gone in a second.
250
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,160
Luck is on their side and the
cable is found almost immediately.
251
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,480
Now they have to focus
on grabbing the cable in zero
252
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,400
visibility. Floris relies
on his gut instinct and
253
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,720
pure skill to succeed.
254
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:08,360
[dark dramatic music]
255
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,040
Floris is quite a young
guy, so I guess he's
256
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,280
playing some computer
games, but he is a natural
257
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,520
when it comes the ROV. I mean,
he's a pilot from the beginning
258
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,760
so I think he has it in his veins.
259
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,720
Turned out good. Took about 15 minutes
260
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,160
to find it, so it went quite fast.
261
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,120
There still facing two critical
issues. Can the fish be fixed
262
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,360
and if so, how long will it take?
263
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,360
I wasn't even worried
not a little... quite much.
264
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,880
But now we have found it.
265
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,840
It had been a long
night. It will be a long day.
266
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,920
Before they can continue
so we have to start work.
267
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:22,600
After hours of
268
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,800
reparing the crew finally
managed to mend the fish, but
269
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,760
this entire side operation
has cost them nearly six hours!
270
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,840
Inevitably, the lowers the on board morale.
271
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,560
Well we have been
searching now for 18 hours, but
272
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,760
we had to break for six
hours when we had the
273
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,720
side scan fish on the
bottom. But we have been
274
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,960
working for 12 hours effectively, and
275
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,240
we saw a shadow a few moments ago
276
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,480
so we go back and have a look again.
277
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,440
Maybe we'll find it in a couple of minutes.
278
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,960
The day turns into night again
279
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,880
and still no trace of the anomaly.
The whole team is resting
280
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,400
except for the diver
Stephan and first mate Kye
281
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,400
who are working the night shift.
Kye is stearing the boat and Stephan
282
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,400
is carefully tracking the monitors.
Of course we're getting frustrated
283
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,640
when we can't
284
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,680
have the exact spot where the object is.
285
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,120
This is actually very interesting.
286
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,640
I think we found it.
287
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,720
This is exactly what we're looking for.
288
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,720
This is obviously a different
angle from what we've
289
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,960
seen before, so mark this spot.
290
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,080
After more than 48 hours
291
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:11,080
of searching they have
finally found the object.
292
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,760
Peter!
293
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,160
Size of the object we've seen last year.
294
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,400
And it's round. The
mood is much better now.
295
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,360
I mean, we had problems
with a lot of things.
296
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,640
Now we're on the run again.
297
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,240
Now they must proceed with extreme caution.
298
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,520
Since they don't know
what lies beneath them.
299
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,480
Something hard down
there, some kind of gas well.
300
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,720
An oil well. It can be a meteorite.
301
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,200
If 95% of our fans were right,
302
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,200
then it is an alien spacecraft
down there of course that would be
303
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,280
gold if it's not lethal then.
304
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,560
I'm very confused to tell you the
truth. I think we can dismiss a lot
305
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,760
theories as soon as we have
the first glimpse of the object.
306
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,040
But before even considering
diving for the object
307
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,040
they to get a clear picture of the
environment below the surface, and
308
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,240
calculate the risks.
They put the ROV to work.
309
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,520
I just put a normal diving guage on the ROV
310
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,720
to be able to measure the
temperature and the depth
311
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,960
of all the operational of the ROV.
That is very good for us to know when we
312
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,920
are planning our dives in the
future. Nothing is left to chance.
313
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:04,360
Besides the temperature and
depth, the ROV will examine the
314
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,360
currents surrounding the object
and retrieve material from the bottom,
315
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,520
which can be analyzed. I
mean, this can be dangerous.
316
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,480
We have no clue what can
be down there. Chemicals,
317
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,760
mechanical things, poison of some kind.
318
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,960
We have to know if there's
any risk down there before
319
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,000
send down the divers.
320
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,720
The anomaly rests at 90 meters
321
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,960
that's 300 feet below the surface.
At these depths the visibility
322
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,960
can be very restricted, especially
when soft bottom sediments
323
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,200
are stirred up by the ROV.
324
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,440
Therefore, the team uses
its sonar system to get the
325
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,480
first close up images of the object.
326
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,600
The ROV also manages to
capture a clear and distinct
327
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,640
close up image of the objects surface.
328
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,600
It's something for sure. Looks man-made.
329
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,840
The man-made theory is also
330
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,080
very common amongst the
Ocean X Team's followers.
331
00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:22,320
Some people refer back to the
mythical underwater city of Atlantis.
332
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:26,560
Others think it's a megalith, a
sort of submerged Stonehenge.
333
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,760
There are other findings
around the world that are difficult
334
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,720
to explain, like the Umaguni
for instance outside Japan.
335
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,960
An enormous underwater
structure that looks man-made.
336
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,200
Other theories concern
modern man-made structures.
337
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,520
Like the Russian warship
Norvgurot, built in the late
338
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,760
1800s, or even the
mysterious Nazi Flying Saucer.
339
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,760
Hamadul. Some people
think it might be the concrete
340
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,720
foundation of a lighthouse,
but they are usually situated
341
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,920
in shallow waters.
Other think a giant cable
342
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,160
drums, except the biggest known drums
343
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,160
barely reach half the
size of the baltic anomaly.
344
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,640
The ROV is coming back up,
so the team can calculate the
345
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,880
diving risk.
346
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,080
Since they still don't
know what the object is,
347
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:33,120
all possible precautionary is being taken.
348
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,840
It's okay. With sufficient
information about
349
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,760
the underwater environment,
and no lethal radiation readings,
350
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,840
the team begin planning
and preparing for the first dive.
351
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,560
I'm not gonna dive on this
expedition myself. My job is
352
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,680
to supervise the operation.
It's my planning and
353
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,680
in the end if something
happens to them it's my neck.
354
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,880
Now we don't really know
355
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,080
what we're facing. So of course it's
356
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,360
uh, I'm a bit anxious about it.
The dive which will be about
357
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,560
2 hours in duration, takes
place in the cold Baltic waters.
358
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,800
Which normally are around
six or seven degrees celcius.
359
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,800
But all of a sudden, the readings
show that the temperature
360
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:36,040
right on top of the object has
drastically dropped below zero.
361
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,280
Just recently we discovered that
362
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,280
minus 1 degree Celsius, which is actually
363
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,480
below the freezing point and that's
364
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,960
actually very surprising.
365
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,920
When diving one must always work with
at least one other person so that they can
366
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,200
assist each other in case
something goes wrong. Stephan
367
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,440
is diving with his partner Frederic,
who has planned the whole operation.
368
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,440
He is meticulous in his planning.
369
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,640
I mean, he's the person who
knows that the devil is in the details.
370
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,880
He plans and plans and thinks
over the plans, and then he
371
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,840
does a replan. I would say
without Frederic, I wouldn't
372
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,080
be able to do these dives.
Deep sea diving is incredibly
373
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,320
risky and put great demands on
the human body and equipment.
374
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,560
Aready at 20 meters a diver is at risk from
375
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,760
nitrogen narcosis. The
symptons are similar to being
376
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,760
under the influencwith
impaired judgment and poor
377
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,000
concentration. At 60 meteres
378
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,960
makes the oxygen content in normal
air poisonous, which could be fatal.
379
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,240
To remedy this the diver
breathes a mixture that
380
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,440
lowers the oxygen and
nitrogen with the help of helium.
381
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,680
The deeper and longer the
diver is down, the slower the
382
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,560
ascent, which means having to
pause several times on the way up.
383
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,040
Otherwise the nitrogen expands creating
384
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,000
bubbles to the blood system.
This give the diver decompression
385
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:20,000
sickness, also known as the bends.
386
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,520
If you by any chance
387
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,600
would get decompression
sickness, there is a way to rescue
388
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,560
yourself from it anyway and that's
to go to a recompression chamber.
389
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,760
But here we are way out in
the Baltic Sea and we have
390
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:41,000
no recompression chamber
so if anything happens we are
391
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,280
smoked. While they are down
there will be a third diver up top.
392
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,520
His function is to be a rescue diver.
393
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,720
I will be assisting with the divers if
there's any problems with the diving.
394
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,960
We will send up the buoy and we will
se where they are and we will go there
395
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,960
I will go down to assist them if there
is any trouble. They are getting close
396
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,000
to the descent but the Ancylus
is engulfed by a fog which
397
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,040
reduces the dives
safety levels considerably.
398
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,680
Peter has to make the most difficult
399
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,880
decision of his life.
Because of the tight schedule
400
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,160
they don't have time to
wait for the fog to disperse
401
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,400
so either they abort the entire
the mission or they continue
402
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,600
under dangerous conditions. With
the fog we have two alternatives.
403
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,600
One is that we wait for the fog to
disappear, but we don't know how long
404
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,800
that will take. Two is
that we dive anyway, but
405
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,800
if the divers run into problems then
406
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,080
we are in deep shit.
407
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,400
But we have taken the
decision that they dive anyway.
408
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,120
When you descend in the Baltic Sea,
409
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,360
the first couple of
meters there is daylight.
410
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,600
The deeper you go, the darker it gets.
411
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,600
So at 20 meters of depth
there's almost no light at all.
412
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,800
At 40-50 meters, it's black
413
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,000
and at 90 meters it's like a black hole.
414
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,160
It's..nothing. During
the descent the fog has
415
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,160
become even thicker. Peter
has second thoughts about
416
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,600
his decision to let them dive.
417
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,600
During a dive to 90 meters under
these conditions if something happens
418
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,840
to the divers, they'll
want a kind of rescue
419
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,080
they can't go direct to the surface,
because of they do, they die.
420
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,120
And on top of this we don't
know what we will find down there.
421
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,760
When the divers finally
reach 90 meters, they tie
422
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,800
a lifeline to the anchor, so
they can find there way back.
423
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,000
Now Stephan and Frederic
have only 10 minutes left
424
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:28,120
before they must begin
their demanding ascent.
425
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,480
[unintelligible speaking]
426
00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:05,600
When we went down we had
the sonar pictures in our mind.
427
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,840
The thing to remember is
428
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,080
when you see a sonar picture
that's actually 60 meters in diameter
429
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,080
and when we got down in pitch black water
430
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,280
you only see 1 meter ahead of you
431
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,520
so when we see the anomaly underwater
432
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,720
it's nothing like the sonar picture.
433
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,960
We have no clue what it is.
434
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,960
Of course the questions
start to grow in your mind.
435
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,240
When we swam over it, it looked
436
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,440
like concrete or cement
437
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,680
when we touched it, it turned black!
438
00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:55,920
What I've seen that looks
439
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,160
somewhere like this is when you have burned
440
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,160
plastic or anything
that's burned or melted.
441
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,400
This was very mysterious for us.
442
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,840
The 10 minutes that Stephan and
443
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,840
Frederic have left on the object
are already up and the slow
444
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:21,080
but dangerous ascent begins.
445
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:25,000
The longer we stay down
there, the longer it will take
446
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,520
to get back to surface. 90 meters
447
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,520
of depth it would take
around 90 minutes to get
448
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,520
back to the surface.
449
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,920
We are anxious and nervous
standing up there not knowing.
450
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,440
If this worked well or not.
451
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,680
Just imagine this buoy popping
up somewhere and then you have a
452
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:58,480
really stressful situation,
trying to save the divers.
453
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,640
When you get back to the surface,
454
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,840
and you stand on the
boat's deck, everything just
455
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,800
releases in you. All the
adrenaline that kept you alive
456
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,320
that kept you in work
457
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,320
disappears. And of
course, I might look a little
458
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,560
sad, and that's just
cause I've been so tensed
459
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,560
for two hours.
460
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,680
The most peculiar thing
461
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:52,880
or the strangest thing was a hole. It was like a circle...
462
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:57,120
...2-3 meters in width and...
463
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,400
like a frame around it. I
mean, like a square frame
464
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,400
and circular hole.
And that's kind of weird.
465
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,720
It's a magic moment in my head.
466
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,000
I'm waiting for this for a long
time to see these pictures.
467
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:17,200
My heart is beating fast. You
see what you believe is a rock
468
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:23,000
and when you look closer
it's more similar to concrete.
469
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,000
It’s like...It’s quite symetric to be a regular rock...
470
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,000
It's like somebody
molded it before it actually
471
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,840
turned into stone.
472
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,400
The amazing thing here is
that you get any answers.
473
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,400
You just get more questions.
474
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,840
I don't have a lot
475
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,960
ideas of what it can
be. I try to take photos
476
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,960
documentation, collect
samples, and I let scientists
477
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,200
come up with the ideas of what it can be.
478
00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:04,440
So I don't really have a clue.
It's just too big a question.
479
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,520
That was probably the most
important dive I've ever done in my life.
480
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,640
And I've done maybe 6000 dives in my life.
481
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,640
I would die for an expert to tell me what
482
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,880
I've seen.
483
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,400
After a dive like this, Stephan and
484
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,600
Frederic have to spend about
12 hours on the surface before it's
485
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,840
safe to go back down
again. Therefore they've run
486
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,800
out of time. So early next
morning the crew weighs anchor
487
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:46,280
and the ship heads back to dry land again.
488
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,280
We didn't get so many dives as we
wanted to and another big problem
489
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,600
is that the multi beam data
which creates the 3d imagery
490
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,800
is incomplete. We have
burned a lot of money
491
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,840
on it and it was very
important for this expedition.
492
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:07,080
But a positive thing is that we have
493
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,240
brought some samples up so I
hope it will enough for some experts
494
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:15,400
to give us some answers.
495
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,680
It's a strange stone, it's
black. That can be a natural
496
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:23,640
reason for that. It looks like it burned.
497
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:28,120
But why? I don't know.
498
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,120
The last of the three common
theories is that the anomaly is
499
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,400
natural phenomena. Either a
structure caused perhaps by
500
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,600
a gas pocket or a volcano
throwing up lava which
501
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,840
created the mystical
anomaly. And there are also
502
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:49,080
several theories claiming
the anomaly to be meteorite.
503
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,000
Meteorites are sited every now and
then and there are many well known
504
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:57,200
craters around the world. Could
this explain the weird shapes
505
00:41:57,240 --> 00:42:01,400
and black stones which is the anomaly.
506
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:05,600
The time has finally come to get
507
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,840
some answers. Peter and
Dennis start off with a meeting with
508
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,840
Andreas Ollson, an expert
in underwater archaeology.
509
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:18,120
It looks like
510
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:22,360
perhaps call it a wall or
511
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,360
that it's something you can
walk in. But it's definitely very
512
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,600
sharp edge and I haven't seen
513
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,840
this before and when I just look it now it
514
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,080
definitely look man-made.
515
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:43,320
It looks man-made in eyes,
but he's the knowing guy,
516
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:47,320
a scientist, and when he says
517
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,800
things like that I get♪whoo ♪
518
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,760
If it is man-made it must be
carved out from the cliff itself
519
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,880
because all you see
there is a hard surface.
520
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:04,080
It's a mineral or something.
521
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,360
My immediate reaction was this
is some kind concrete construction.
522
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,560
Something modern. I think 20th century
523
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,560
or perhaps late 19th century, but it
524
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,760
definitely from the
imagery it looks like it
525
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:25,000
could be man-made. To me it looks like...
526
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:29,200
when you look at that
sharp line that it has a
527
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:33,440
different density. And
it almost looks like its
528
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,640
steel or something. Perhaps
it's a much harder metal.
529
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,840
You have to deal many different experts
530
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,840
for a full picture. Yeah, for
sure. That's the next step.
531
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,080
So the regular shape means
the object could be man-made.
532
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,320
But if that's the case, where do
the burnt looking stones come from?
533
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,560
Could it perhaps be
explained by volcanism in
534
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,520
the Baltic basin. Marine
Geologist Martin Jacobson at.
535
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:07,000
Stockhom University might have the answer.
536
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,320
That would be extremely interesting
because that would mean we have volanism,
537
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,320
at a time we wouldn't
expect it at all. It is
538
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,280
a very exciting result
purely scientifically
539
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,440
but I would be interested into
go even further looking into.
540
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,440
The burnt stones are not from the Baltic
basin, were they heated somewhere else?
541
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,640
Like for example, the outer atmosphere.
542
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,880
Meaning that the anomaly
would be a huge meteorite
543
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,080
resting in the depths. We
have very nice example
544
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:40,360
of meteorite impacts in Sweden,
but it would probably be a bigger
545
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,600
imprint in the bedrock geology around
and we would have seen that in maps
546
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,520
before, so it doesn't point to that to me.
547
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,000
Peter and Dennis need more answers.
548
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:56,000
They meet geologist Falker Brukert
who has more than 30 years of experience
549
00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:00,280
with rocks. He has examined
the material and is ready to give
550
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:04,520
his opinion on how the rocks were created.
551
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,520
Alright, so if you look at the
side that I sort of smacked
552
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,640
you see it has very fine crystals
553
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,880
that indicate that
554
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:21,120
we had a molten rock, and
a molten rock chilled very
555
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:25,400
rapidly and therefore the
crystals didn't have time to grow.
556
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,360
Therefore that's how we
identify a volcanic rock.
557
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,640
So I don't know why you find a volcanic
558
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,720
rock in the middle of the Northern Baltic.
559
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,960
My best interpretation
is that glaciers have
560
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,200
transported it there. So
it's official. The rock is
561
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:50,440
volcanic which might have
been transported there by glaciers.
562
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,640
But how could the anomaly's
weird shape be explained?
563
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,640
Peter and Dennis show
Falker the video material,
564
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,520
Hoping it will reveal more clues.
565
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,440
Could the shapes be explained by some
566
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,600
thing lying beneath the
volcanic rock surface?
567
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,920
It looks like a crust. Like a thick crust.
568
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,920
You have this black material
shining through the cracks.
569
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:40,400
Or that could just be
570
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,400
mud that's all - No, this is not mud.
571
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:48,840
One would have to see whether the
572
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,160
material that's really underneath
is the same that's on top.
573
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:57,160
What I really would need to look at
this more closely is a sample of that
574
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:01,360
directly from your object.
The surfaces can be deceiving.
575
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:05,360
Don't really say what the
interior of the rock looks like.
576
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,840
So the big questions right now are.
577
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:14,040
Did the glaciers transport it
there? And what lies beneath?
578
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:18,040
Well from my point of view it
could almost be Millenium Falcon.
579
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:22,320
Right now I think it's important
to have more information
580
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,280
before we can pursue any
theory. We have to very open.
581
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:30,520
We have in Sweden for example
582
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:34,680
everything has been all written by the ice
583
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:38,920
not really machine made
or not look very realistic.
584
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:43,200
Geologists tend to explain
585
00:47:43,240 --> 00:47:47,360
this part of a geologic
phenomena and perhaps
586
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,560
biologists according
to his or her discipline.
587
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,560
So we must have many disciplines. We
must see this from many point of views.
588
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,760
We create a holistic
picture of this in order to find
589
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:04,240
what it is actually.
590
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:08,240
Keeping an open mind, could it be some sort
of alien vessel resting beneath the stone
591
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,200
Klaus Swan a renowned
journalist and chairman
592
00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:16,440
of UFO Sweden gives his opinion.
593
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,640
Our oceans are not explored at all, really.
594
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,880
There so much space so
there are of course surprises.
595
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:29,120
There could be things of course
that aliens visited us hundreds
596
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:33,360
of thousands of years
still left down there.
597
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,600
That would be quite easy to see. It
would be quite easy to drill your way down
598
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,560
to see if there is anything
metallic underneath the
599
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:46,040
stone. Today it's only speculation, but
600
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,880
it triggers our imagination and we
must try to find the solution of course.
601
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,400
So there's only one thing left to do.
602
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:58,400
Peter and Dennis have to head out to see
again. In order to get the final answers.
603
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,640
Today we want to find
out what's inside the object.
604
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,600
We have to do a core drilling
and that's a huge operation.
605
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:11,080
We're talking millions of euros.
606
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:12,760
When Peter and Dennis began to prepare for
607
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,800
another expedition, what
wasn't supposed to happen
608
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:19,320
happened.
609
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,520
Rumors and speculation begin to surface
610
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,720
saying the object is
nothing but a pile of rocks.
611
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,720
I got pissed off. I wake this
morning and see this shit.
612
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,920
From Fox News. And they
are writing about we have
613
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:40,000
found a rock and the
information comes from Sweden.
614
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:44,280
People think they are
right, now. That's the sad.
615
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:48,520
It's harder for us now to convince
616
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,520
companies to get into
this. When Fox do this
617
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,760
it's pissing me off... yeah.
618
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,760
Several months pass and these
rumors harden into a global belief.
619
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,760
But Dennis refuses to give up his search
620
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:09,240
for the truth.
621
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:13,200
Any luck with the sponsors?
We have not found them.
622
00:50:13,240 --> 00:50:17,440
We must find other things
623
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,640
to get money into the project.
624
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:26,160
In an act of desperation,
Dennis begins selling off
625
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,920
branded merchandise in order to scrape
together enough money for a new expedition.
626
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,160
There had been a long time with lots of
627
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,440
struggling. There's a
kind of frustration in me.
628
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,680
To work with this you must have patience.
629
00:50:42,720 --> 00:50:46,880
It's all about patience here.
There attempts to finance begin to
630
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,840
provoke some people who think Peter
and Dennis are trying to make money
631
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:55,120
out of nothing. Even some of the
fans who were once enthusiastic
632
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:59,320
have lost faith in them. Peter
and Dennis have become
633
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:03,280
a laughing stock. "Quickly
Peter put on your dive suit."
634
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,760
I don't have a suit, we're broke, remember?
635
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,720
The Baltic Sea Anomaly. The search
for the anomaly continues... yadayadaya.
636
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,920
Whatever. Peter is disheartened and
637
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,920
distances himself further and
further away from the project.
638
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,400
Dennis on the other hand
keeps on fighting, but now
639
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,640
it's to clear there own names.
640
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,840
We are no hoax. We are treasure hunters.
641
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:41,120
Why should we lie about this. Even Dennis
642
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:45,320
has to draw the line when
he and above all his family
643
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:49,200
begin to receive intimidating messages.
644
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:57,640
Notice the dark night Mr. Osberg.
645
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,800
The dark death. Your health.
646
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:06,080
It's good that you don't
dive in the winter times.
647
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,320
So many accidents happen then.
648
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,280
So hello to your little
kids. They are so sweet.
649
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:18,280
Perhaps I meet them in the kindergarten.
650
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:27,600
What have I done to deserve this?
651
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,640
He threatened me and my kids.
652
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:36,080
But Dennis struggle is also
653
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:40,320
inspiring. Every now
and then they still receive
654
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:44,200
well wishes and kind support from
fans who find Peter's and Dennis's
655
00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:48,720
work important.
656
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,680
The emails are not scientific they
are also not represented to the society.
657
00:52:52,720 --> 00:52:56,920
It would be real sad if we
actually stopped the study.
658
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:01,120
Think about if that were
abandoned just because
659
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:05,120
some people in society there
are no miracles there are no
660
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:09,200
such things.
661
00:53:09,240 --> 00:53:13,440
I think it would be a
scandal almost if we don't
662
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,760
look at what it is actually.
663
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,760
One of their enthusiastic followers
has spent a couple of months trying to
664
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:26,000
restore the corrupted
data from the mult beam.
665
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:30,240
After much hard work he has been
able to put together new unique images
666
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,480
reveal the object and a large
part of the surrounding area.
667
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,440
As a last ditch effort, Peter and
Dennis, together with Stephan the diver
668
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,680
come together to see if they can
shed some light upon the mystery.
669
00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:46,920
This is going to be very interesting for me
670
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,920
to see a bigger view. To
take a step back actually
671
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:55,160
see the whole picture.
What we'll see is very
672
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:59,280
interesting because we have
just seen it as a 2d side scan
673
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:03,480
sonar image, but now we
will have a fly by through the
674
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,760
area and it's quite amazing.
675
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,960
The multi beam interpretation
shows something absolutely
676
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:16,200
astonishing. 1500
meters south of the object
677
00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:20,040
there's a small underwater
mountain divided by a canyon.
678
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:24,240
Leading off this
underwater feature is a ridge
679
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:28,240
that runs all the way to the object.
680
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:32,800
The 3D image
681
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:36,760
also shows another ridge
heading towards a second
682
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:41,200
anomaly. When studying the side scan image
683
00:54:41,240 --> 00:54:45,240
the resemblance to the first
anomaly is striking. Which could mean.
684
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:49,440
That they are in some way connected.
685
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:53,760
Well we have two current
shaped endings of it.
686
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,760
And if we take the disturbances
away we will have a straight line.
687
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,920
At least on this side.
688
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:06,120
Makes it look like maybe not natural.
689
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:10,160
This second anomaly
might be the most interesting.
690
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,840
It actually looks like.
691
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:23,080
Something has hit the
mountain, but I don't think
692
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:27,080
it is like that. I think
that is a coincidence, but
693
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:31,120
I don't know!
694
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:36,280
[swelling dramatic music]
695
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,800
Maybe I've worked with this
too long now. Maybe I'm crazy
696
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:48,000
but in my eyes I see
697
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:52,040
crash site.
698
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:56,480
[epic dramatic music]
699
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:08,760
Perhaps I'll never find out.
700
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:13,200
And I hope to live with that.
701
00:56:13,240 --> 00:56:16,960
But one thing is for sure. I
will never stop thinking about it.
702
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,640
I'm divided in two about an answer.
703
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,640
It might be a very boring answer
and maybe I can live without.
704
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,880
Or the answer will surprise me.
705
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:38,080
And in that case
706
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:46,120
I'm looking forward to it.
707
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:52,080
[intense dramatic music]
708
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:42,080
