5. Baltic Sea Anomaly

Back in June 2011, Swedish explorer Peter Lindberg and his team of marine explorers he called Ocean X discovered a strange formation at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. It is 210 feet long, 26 feet high, and it lies 300 feet below the surface. With its steel gray appearance and what look like oddly carved patterns, many have pointed out that it looks like a UFO — even the Millennium Falcon. Other observers think it could be the remains of a lost city. Researchers at the Stockholm University in Sweden have tried to dampen the speculation by insisting the Anomaly is simply an unusual carving made by the movement of glaciers during the last Ice Age. However, many remain unconvinced, including the crew of the Ocean X, who insist that all their electrical equipment, including satellite phones, stopped working whenever they got within about 160 feet of the object.

10 deep sea secrets about the ocean we can't explain!

Despite the fact that human beings have been sailing the seas for hundreds of years, we have only seen about 5 per cent of every thing it holds. There’s a lot of deep, dark environments, animals, and mysteries lurking down there, in other words. The more we explore, in fact, the less we seem to know about much of what goes on in the deep waters of the world’s oceans. We discover creatures and phenomena we can’t explain. Ships and planes go missing and are never found. Sounds and vibrations are heard, but no one knows where they come from. In some ways, the deep water environment and its denizens are about as alien to our above ground world as we are to outer space. With technology only recently reaching the point where deep-sea explorations can occur on a routine basis, the answers to many questions may be on the way. But, with so much left to discover, who knows how many new mysteries will be found?

2. The Mystery Of The Cannibal Shark

Image
In 2003, Australian researchers tagged a 9-foot-long female great white shark to track its movements. The tag recorded temperatures and depth and was attached in November 2003 off the southwestern coast. About four months later, the tag was found on land by a beachcomber about 2.5 miles from where it had been first attached to the shark. Data from the tag was so out of the ordinary that a film maker who had been hired to make a documentary out of the data couldn’t quite believe what he saw. As the tag recorded it, the animal suddenly plunged down 1,903 feet and the temperature spiked from 46°F to 78°F. The data suggested an attack — but what could (or would) attack a 9-foot shark? An even bigger shark? Cannibalism is one of the theories that has never been proven in this case, with one researcher speculating on a “two-ton colossal cannibal great white shark.” Yikes!
