The Spigot: Baltic UFO update—it was built by the Nazis!

Is the massive, Baltic Sea UFO an anti-submarine device built by the Nazis? A former Swedish naval officer believes that it is, and the Ocean X research team currently studying the object thinks he might be onto something.

As reported in the ever-reliable Daily Mail, World War II expert Anders Autellus reckons that the Ocean X team has stumbled upon the remains of a device designed to scramble the radar signals of Russian and British submarines.

Team X explorer Stefan Hogeborn has backed up Autellus’ theory, pointing out the object lies directly beneath a route used by the Nazis to ship ball-bearings. It might also explain the equipment failure experienced by Team X whenever they approached the object.

So there you go. Apologies to anyone who feels cheated by the sensational headline; we realize there’s a rich history of high-grade bullshit out there concerning super-advanced propulsion systems, anti-gravity machines, and “The Bell”, but the Spigot tends to view that stuff as a distraction from the suitably appalling Nazi tech that really was smuggled into the West’s national security apparati after WW II. We happen to feel a little cheated by that.

Still, a good conspiracy theory has its uses. Take the kiddie-shrimper who was busted for inappropriately licking the feet of two underage girls at an upstate New York library earlier this week. Speaking to reporters after his arrest, the perp claimed, “I am being set up by President Barack Obama and the city and the federal government."

We hope he gets the chance to prove it. In any case, there are other serial Obama conspiracy-theorists who might want consider such a splendid defence. The next time Rush Limbaugh gets busted carrying a bag of Viagra out of a Caribbean hotspot known for child prostitution, for instance, he’ll have an iron-clad excuse.

If you actually go to the source of the story, as opposed to the headlines, you will find that the actual salvage expert who found the object mentions that equipment failure happens on every single dive they have ever performed. He also mentions that the planet is covered in satellite dead zones, and that they, he and his team, are constantly searching for a solid satellite signal. Go to the ocean X website and see for yourself. Stop listening to all the bullcrap that the media feeds you.

From the above article: "Apologies to anyone who feels cheated by the sensational headline; we realize there's a rich history of high-grade bullshit out there..."

Adrian kind of beat you to the punch, didn't he?

He's appologizing for his own headline "Baltic UFO update—it was built by the Nazis!" Which isn't necessarily true.

While in his newsreport he argues that the submarine trap idea is plausible considering "It might also explain the equipment failure experienced by Team X whenever they approached the object."

All this crap is completely ridiculous, and how the hell these lies got so far is incomprehensible. Is there not a single newsreporter that does research? Or are they all simply copying and pasting conspiracy theories from YouTube comments? Like seriously it took 10 seconds to find the ocean explorer website and read the truth.

Take a moment and think about what is being said. A pile of cement lined with what amounts to a heavy-gauge chicken wire, is a weapon active after 70 years to disrupt 21st century technology.

German saucers from the same era actually make more sense in concept even though this is more like a PT Barnum moment.

Sorry. I thought, erroneously, that you understood what The Spigot was all about.
Let's just say you shouldn't take it all too seriously.

Let's strap some f'n balloons on that thing and bring to the surface so we can see it for ourselves

Better look up submarine traps. You'll find that the wire meshes used in the traps were 600 feet apart. Same distance as the two objects laying apart off the ocean floor. Looks like a submarine got snagged and dragged the two anchors (ufo pieces) along for a few hundred yards. Soviet sub? Maybe. But find the navy responsible for being in the area. Good luck.

The Nazis went to Anarctica in 1938-39 , they have discoverd a craft , this craft is a relic from times of antiquity , called Atlantis . They back engineerd this technology . After the war , through project paper clip , the Jesuits of the Catholic Church sneaked the high ranking Nazis across in to America and hence this is where Nasa space program commenced . If this is too much for your simple mind . Let me set up an example : Imagine if it was the 1600s , and I told you that man would fly one day , now would I be called crazy ? Would I be laughed at ? so do not laugh now . Truth is stranger than fiction , take that to heart . My step dad was in the German army , he saw the Foo fighters first hand . They are man made and not capable as of yet for space travel . The one in Roswell crashed because they could not control it , put in dummies to make it look like , the Americans have alien technology , to scare the Russians .

How would you deploy it? This thing is to big to lash to a ship and if it was towed out and sank into position how do you explain the 4000 foot trench?
