Divers didn't find anything, Side Scanning Sonar did (well in this case it was a tow fish).

The drag marks are interesting, but I'm betting they're caused by trawlers.


If it was Air Force One The Millenium Falcon, the divers would get chased off by the wookie.

It's kind of the gist of the acronym until there's a second thing.  


I have had my share of run-ins with alien conspiracy types.

When they say UFO, they mean alien space ship.  In fact, they frequently use documented references to UFOs in the "unidentified" sense as "proof" that the Air Force or what not has seen alien space ships.  Since this thing, sunk at the bottom of the ocean, is not flying,  my gut tells me he thinking about the "U" about as much as he is the "F."  In his vernacular, UFO = Alien Space Ship.

The European way:  I got an idea, lets just contact the news, release sonar pics, talk about it with experts and debate on what it is, then we will raise your taxes.


The American way:  Let's go down there and look at it, we will know what it is tomorrow.

The 'drag marks' are interesting, if they aren't down current from the object.  Otherwise we'll find the thing is the base of a failed lighthouse project.  If that doesn't ring true, then i retreat behind my original gut feeling that it is a dikfer.

It's pretty big whatever it is. A 747 fits neatly inside the broken circle.
I personally hope it's in good enough shape to get the hyperdrive running again. I want to see what was in the smugglers compartments, too.

Which way is "we looked at it, contacted the news, released sonar pics, talked about it with experts and debated on what it is, thus generated a bunch of buzz, which means publicity, which means funding and sensationalism so when we go down again there will be money in it?"

Your "American way" isn't very profitable, and this European team is a private group.

In for disappointment...

Just like I was disappointed when nothing came of the whole "Type XIB U-Cruiser Discovery" almost 20 years ago:  http://www.combatsim.com/memb123/htm/feb99/type-xib.htm

(TL:DR  = Dive company claimed back in 1990s that they found the wreck of a German Type XIB "U-Cruiser" off the coast of New England.  Only, almost all records indicate that Germany never built the Type XIB design.  Then there's a bunch of conspiracy theory stuff about high ranking Germans trying to contact the Allies to end the war early, etc.  Anywho, 15 to 20 years later and nothing more has come of this amazing discovery.)
