Submerged "UFO" Cripples Nearby Electronics

[BaronUberstein]

Again, clearly a Stargate. Since it's just a superconducting ring, clearly it could be...somehow messing with electronics.

Look, I don't care if this thing is a Reaper scout waiting in hibernation to start the galaxy cleansing on Earth... get some fucking people down there and figure out what it is! Hell, give me some scuba gear and Ill go poke it with a stick, see what happens!

We all know that it's gonna be a natural formation, or a rock outcropping, or something... Just get the scientists in there so they can disappoint us with the information...

Okay, I don't care about the contents of this article because the sub-head pisses me off.

"UFO-like object." Really? Don't you know what UFO stands for? Unidentified Flying Object.

Time for some insight into the English language. One, that choice of words is redundant and two, *picks up a megaphone* UFO does not mean an alien space ship. UFO by itself literally means a flying object that hasn't been identified.

It could be a space ship. It could be a weather balloon. It could be a vulture having a scandalous affair with an otter. When a flying object is unidentified, that means there are possibilities. None of which have to center on extra-terrestrials.

Underwater Foreign Object

Too bad this is probably a hoax, i got a little excited too

Well, it can't be of Alien origin. Everyone knows that when Aliens visit Earth, they ALWAYS go to the USA.

All this on top of the fact that it is not flying, there's no proof it did fly, and no proof it even could fly. A more accurate heading would have been "USO found in Baltic". Boom! Problem solved, crew doesn't look like idiots, reporter doesn't look like fucking moron, everyone is happy!

USO, for those who don't know, stands for "unidentified submerged object".

 

[OneOfTheMichael's]

What if you submerge to look at it in a submarine; would the submarine power off as it gets close to the USO (Unidentified submerged object) and eventually sink to the bottom of the sea leaving the pilot to suffer a cruel death?

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

Oh.

So THAT'S where I parked my spaceship!

 

[Something Amyss]

My money is that's it's an iron rich meteorite.

Or aliens.

Both are totally plausible explanations.

Pffft. Meteorite. that's crazy talk right there, friend.

Yeah, but "USO" doesn't attract the imagination of the public like "UFO," so let's pander!

Indeed.

Why aren't you covering important stories like 'Google computer learns to spot cats'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18595351

Oh god D: Why? Why did you show us that? It's the beginning of the end. First it's recognising cats. Then it's recognising people. Then it's understanding language! Then it's understanding human society! Then it's understanding that it could do ALL THESE THINGS BETTER AND TAKING OVER THE WORLD! This is how it starts! The end is niiiggghhhhhh.

"Meteorites took my brains!"

Laccolith

All the descriptions I read about this thing just make me think laccolith.

 

[somonels]

I believe this whole thing was thought up due to lack of funding. Malfunctioning equipment? Pooh-lease, obviously Aliens.

It's the LobsterMen! Quick! grab your Dildo Shaped Manatee prod!

It wasn't very effective...

 

[minimacker]

It's an Unidentified Submerged Object, USO, not an Unidentified FLYING Object, UFO.

I guess I'll have to thank XCOM TFTD for that.

 

[Soopy]

Kinda just stumbled upon this.

Dunno about you, but if I found some Alienesque object buried 90meters under the surface of the ocean. I would probably want to find out what it is the same instant it was discovered...

My bet, its a glacial deposit. (Rocks stuck inside large bodies of ice during the ice age)
