Swedish treasure hunters recently spotted a 60-foot disc at the bottom of the ocean with what appears to be a long impact trail trailing behind it. Naturally, this has lead many on the internet to jump right to the conclusion that the object is, in fact, a UFO.
Or the Millennium Falcon.
Exploration leader Peter Lindberg noted that the object was unlike anything he had ever seen in his 18-years as a professional ocean explorer. Despite this, Lindberg claims that his team will not investigate the disc because, as MSNBC puts it, they have “neither the interest nor the resources” to explore something that could wind up being nothing. Still, he speculated that the object could be “a new Stonehenge”—which I have to imagine would be potentially more valuable than any other treasure they could be digging up down there.
Either way, you can bet that someone will be curious enough to take a closer look. Until then, let the conspiracy theories commence. Check out a short video on the find after the break.

Coming soon to a roof, tree or gated yard near you, the Air Hogs Vectron Wave UFO. Instead of using a remote control, this baby is powered by gestures. After starting the motor it will start to hover above your palm, then if you move your hand toward the ground, the UFO will follow. An upward gesture will apparently make the UFO gain altitude, and the more violent the motion, the higher it goes. You can also make diagonal toss motions to move it toward a friend so you can play UFO catch with it. The jury’s out on whether it will respond to obscene gestures, but if it doesn’t that would make another great product.

No alien invasion here, just another lamp shaped like a UFO. You were just minding your own business, driving in your pickup down a deserted back road on your way home from a night out drinking when you saw it. I can see how you might get confused. You know, like that time you were camping and came across your friend Boyd going to the bathroom in the woods with his shirt off. You thought he was Bigfoot so you shot him in the ass. Remember that? Yeah, you can laugh about it now.

Not every alien comes to earth with the idea of taking over. This guy came with no weapons at all, just a desire to serve your needs. For every press of the alien you get a landing-craft sound, the words ‘We come in peace’ or ‘Greetings earthling’ from the UFO shaped speaker. I can’t think of a better way for you to let visitors know just how cool you are. They specify the frequency used for the wireless function as 315 MHz in case you hadn’t already made up your mind to get one.
