Are There Aliens Among Us?

Nah, probably not, although if there are they work at convenience stores. But I digress... This is a genuinely interesting story. In June an oceanographic team looking for a shipwreck found an object 300 feet down on the bottom of the Baltic that looks amazingly like the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars. Side scan sonar technology is quite good and shows shadowing around the object that indicates that it has height and depth. Some have jumped to conclusions that it is an alien spaceship, but it could be a man-made structure that was lost when a geologic subsidence occurred, or any one of a number of other things. Presumably robot subs with cameras will be sent down and we will soon know what the heck it is, but in the meantime, feel free to use your imagination.
