The Baltic Sea anomaly

Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.

The story

In 2011 a Swedish salvage team scanning the Gulf of Bothnia floor got a sonar return of a large circular object with what looked like ramps and right angles, and the internet promptly decided they had found a crashed flying saucer. Geologists who examined the samples the divers brought up identified glacial rock, most likely a moraine deposit dropped by the retreating ice sheet. A good reminder that the sea floor is genuinely unexplored and that most anomalies are geology. Told honestly.

The ground it haunts

The northern Baltic Sea (Swedish waters). Source: A real sonar anomaly, best explained as glacial geology. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
