Buckle up Star Wars nerds, you’re going to like this one. Underwater explorers in Sweden have discovered an unidentified object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea that some say bears an eerie resemblance...

... to the Milennium Falcon. Yeah, THAT Millenium Falcon.

So is it really an intergalactic spacecraft? According to Fox News, Swedish researcher Peter Lindberg has no idea.

“Lindberg explained to local media that his crew discovered, on the 300-foot-deep ocean floor between Finland and Sweden, ‘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.’”

And this preternatural puzzler doesn’t end there. According to MSNBC, whatever this object is, it may have been moving.

“Lindberg said he saw evidence of scars or marks disturbing the environment nearby, suggesting the object somehow moved across the ocean floor to where his team found it.”

But is this underwater find really a watery grave for little green men? Writers at Gizmodo aren’t so sure.

“While the shape may remind you of the Millennium Falcon, a Cylon Raider or a bloody Nazi spaceship from the dark side of the Moon,...this could be anything, including a geological formation or, as Lindberg says, some archaeological find, some ‘new Stonehenge.’”

And Discovery News offers another very Earthly explanation. 

“...the unidentified sunken object is neither an extraterrestrial craft nor a natural feature but instead a rotating gun turret from a World War II era battleship. It's possible that an explosion on the ship’s deck could have blown it out of the deck ring where it was anchored and it slid into the ocean’s depths...”

So are researchers ever going to unlock the mystery of this underwater object? CNET reports...

“Originally, Ocean Explorer wasn't planning to check into the object any further due to the the expense of underwater exploration. With so much excitement and donations coming in, the team is planning to revisit the area.”
