Exploration Team Discovers Mysterious Disc on Ocean Floor

[Kinokohatake]

Escapist: I'm assembling a team. We're gonna go find this object. And I'm gonna get rich off of it.

If you want to join the crew, you should meet these requirements:
-Be able to cook, clean, and brew fantastic beer.
-Accept that all profits come to me and only me.
-Accept that all recognition for the endeavor goes only to me.
-Be willing to travel to the bottom of the ocean in a low-budget submersible.

I'm accepting applicants. Remember: it's for glory! My glory!

I'm in.

BTW, crew I am starting a "Mutiny against the captain campaign" or as I like to call it, organizing a union. Not only will we get paid, but our retirement benefits will outshine every other deep sea diver group. You will be paying us decades after we pull up Chewbaca's soaked corpse.

i know i'm not hte first one to say it or think it, but.....

The resemblance is uncanny however if you look at the picture you can see the impact tracks they mentioned. It looks like the Falcon crashed backward. And anyways the disk is 20 feet too small to be the Falcon.

Myth Busted!

It [em]is[/em] difficult to imagine what one would have been doing up in the Baltic Sea.

Obviously the goddamned foreigners were at it again!

my god, and i thought i was a geek hahaha i kid, perhaps it's an earlier prototype of the falcon!

 

[The-Epicly-Named-Man]

Can't blame him for not checking it out, he's a business man not a scientist. Also hate to break it to people but it's probably just an oddly shaped formation of rocks, or a meteorite. Says alot about modern society that we all instantly thought "Millennium Falcon".

 

[MasterOfHisOwnDomain]

Obviously the coiled remains of the Loch Ness Monster... Duh.

Que the eccentric billionaire, wait for it.., GO!

It's episode three, the only system powerful enough to run it was the world itself.

 

[standokan]

Atlantis is the best I could come up with.

 

[Spawny0908]

It's the stopper for the ocean...

JK

It could be an ancient building and the land has sunk.

Just how low budget are we talking here. Like fishbowl on your head low budget or paddle boat converted to sub with duct tape and gum low budget?

 

[Death on Trapezoids]

Back in the day, they played real ultimate frisbee.

 

[Vykrel]

i may be ignorant, but just how much could it possibly cost to go take a look at the thing? just take a boat out there and send some people down to take a look.

 

[Darkwhite]

Dunno if its been said but its the earths plug! can't explain the impact tracks though

 

[Vigormortis]

Frankly, this "thing" is probably either a volcanic caldera, or some piece of World War II debris or shipwreck. I can guarantee it's not a flying saucer or some other such nonsense.

Impact trail? Please. Has it occurred to anyone that having an "impact trail" that long, that far down under the surface is virtually impossible? And, even if this "thing" had the velocity to go that deep and still retain enough speed to make such a trail, it would likely have disintegrated upon impact with the water.

Besides, that "trail" looks more like a volcanic ridge or the like and not like something made by an "impact".

When I look at this, the only thing I can think of is this book.

So...it's probably not a good idea to send Samuel Jackson and Dustin Hoffman to go figure out what it is, right?

You know, it's funny. When I first heard this story, that was my first thought as well. I immediately asked the person who told me the story, "Was anyone at the site attacked by a giant squid?"

UFO? Why are they supposed to be saucers?

I'd rather it be a triangle.

Pfft. Please. The stately rhombus is the ONLY way to fly.

 

[Therumancer]

To me it seems like a phrank, saying "I found this but am not going to check it out" is kind of weak. The whole thing will inspire a lot of speculation and theories, but I doubt anyone is ever going to look at it or "call" him on it, which I think is the point.

It will be interesting to see if anyone decides to check it out.


It might also be a hatch to the interior of the hollow earth! I mean while we're going on about UFOs, Lovecraftian Artifacts, and similar things, let's not forget about that whole theory/school of fiction.

Ooops, everyone beat me to the Millennium Falcon observation. Well time to go crawl back under that rock...

whats sad is that capitalism is precisely the reason why we will never know, we have the resources but false scarcity is created by our monetary system
