While on a mission for booze, a Swedish team may have uncovered a deep-sea UFO instead.
The Swedish team, called the Ocean Explorer team, discovered the wreckage of a trade ship called the Jonkoping in 1997, as well as the ship’s cargo of extremely rare 1907 Heidsick Monopole Gout Americain champagne.
Millions were made by the Ocean Explorer team, as the bottles sold for approximately $13,000 each.
The extremely lucrative find has motivated Peter Lindberg, leader of the Ocean Explorer, as well as the rest of its members to keep up the search for underwater treasures.
Their most interesting find, according to the team, was made this past week, however, on June 19, and this time it did not involve expensive alcohol.
The find in question? A circle.
While the circle did not seem hype-worthy initially, Lindberg eliminated the possibility that it could be a land mine or algae bloom.
After a continued investigation into the circle, Lindberg released a statement to local media concerning the Ocean Explorer team find:
“At 87m down, between Sweden and Finland, they saw a large circle, about 60 feet in diameter. You see a lot of weird stuff in this job but during my 18 years as a professional I have never seen anything like this. The shape is completely round … a circle.”
The circle is also accompanied by surround tracks, up to 300m where it lies on the ocean floor.
These tracks, the team says, suggests that the circle has moved at some point, either on its landing or after its settling at the bottom of the sea.
Surprisingly, the Ocean Explorer team will not be investigating further into this controversial object and what some are calling a possible UFO.
Lindberg explained, “It is not in our sphere of interest to go for this object, since it might be nothing. We cannot afford spending funds just to have a look at it, even if it might be a new Stonehenge.”
Lindberg says that he is leaving it up to the rest of the world to look into this mysterious discovery.

#1 What a Dummy
Lindberg explained, “It is not in our sphere of interest to go for this object, since it might be nothing. We cannot afford spending funds just to have a look at it, even if it might be a new Stonehenge.”
What a dummy............ this could be the chance of a life time for the crew. He could write his own ticket if it did turn out to be something. Don't he know you have to spend money to make money. Besides, if it did turn out to be something, I would much rather have someone like that find it than some government. Then we would never know what it was.
#2 He showed you where it is, YOU go look at it
Personally , i also do not have the resources or suitable interest to dedicate my life to discovering the answer to this, yet another enigma.
But may be YOU do?
#3 I find your use of the word
I find your use of the word dummy offensive.
#4 ANCHOR BAIT
Its a giant ship anchor thats sinking the ocean floor in causing global warming from gigantic enormous solar flares created from the sun that causes morons like Al Gore to make a crap load of money for the EMPEROR!!!!
#5 Circle under ocean
How very convenient just to shrug your shoulders and walk away from it all..... yes, what a dummy.... or perhaps it's just a sunken weather balloon.... after all that's all it could be right...??
#6 This is a serious case of
This is a serious case of "Penny wise, pound stupid"... The guy could make much more than a few thousand dollars of old champagne... and yet...
#7 $$$
Let's see...2,500 bottles of champagne at $13,000 a pop... That's over $9 million. Not a bad take.
#8 This is a serious case of

#9 The soldier of fortune turns away ???? give me a break
maybe his goverment friends told him to walk away so they can investigate things them selfs.
Only to conclude it was a weather ballon as usual.
#10 smart man
If he did find something like a ufo, the miiltary and goverment will be all up in his business and confiscate his ship and interrogate the crew and threaten them with silence like Roswell.
#11 Disc
Don't worry it's just an Ikea table. Thay don't want to go down and get it because Thay will have to put it together.
#12 How about this
Take up a donation fund and then hire John Ballard of Titanic fame to go down there with his robotic probes and get a full set of photos and then send divers in to look closer.
#13 That is a thought. HeTAKES
That is a thought. HeTAKES the time for things like that. And buys his own booze.
#14 Oh...........
And it's Robert Ballard. John Ballard died in 1586.
#15 Ballards email address.
oceanexplorer [at] noaa [dot] gov
I don't like yhat dot gov. They'll just say it's a dead turtle magnified by the refraction of the water.
#16 ufo or uso?
as a former abductee i object to playing games with our imaginations.
wh is volunteering to investigate the round shape.?
#17 This may be a Nuke Missile
This may be a Nuke Missile lunch facility , so Mr X give them a call to go away end of story
#18 I'm just kidding :)
I'm just kidding :)
#19 $$$
$$$: redo the math... it's over 32,000,000. That's got to more than the average UFO is worth.
#20 Don't just give up.
Just saw a vid that said the guys who found it don't have the interest or funds to investigate it any further. It's 280 feet down, surely they could just drop a small camera down for a closer peak. Or why even announce it in the first place.
#21 space ship
he obviously has already been told to shut up by the government
