Mysterious 60m Diameter Disc Discovered On Baltic Seabed

We didn't really need telling though, did we?

Now they're asking for 242.361,00€ to fund "the rental of necessary equipment."

two-hundred and fifty thousand for RENTALS? That's a bargain. I'm going to empty my whole savings account into this fund...

No.

A while back a Swedish search team found something strange on the bottom of the Baltic sea. What is it? Some argue it's a deposit from the latest glaciation, which occurred about 13 000-15 000 years ago.

I posted this in the Ufology section, but it can also belong to the earth section. I let you decide where it belongs.

Nothing much came of that, did it?
It's been ages since that was announced.

It seems to be one odd rock formation? I noticed was it was presented by Snopes, a fairly reputable source. Did anyone ever determine why the instruments malfunctioned?

It may be odd, but they did go down there and take video. You can see some of it here:

It's a rock. They didn't go back and investigate further because, well, it's a rock.

OOPARTS have to be up there with my favourite Fortean topics. ... [H]ow about anomalous structures, such as ... that weird thing at the bottom of the Baltic Sea?

There are a lot of "artist's impression" style images of the "anomaly" doing the rounds, but the original image/scan from the Ocean X team is rather less exciting and suggests strongly that it's nothing more than a rocky outcrop:

Bedtimes Stories podcast just did a short one called "The Baltic Sea Anomaly". I can't find how to link episode. It's too bad, as I read this thread and find that there is no further updated info.

Even if it is a geological formation, I would be interested in it. However, if there is no money to be made, then the only further exploration would be if a publicly funded scientific team was interested for specific research.
