" In mid May we are preparing an expedition with more sophisticated sonars, cameras and other equipment to hopefully determine what these strange objects are and if it is safe to try a drive to them"
-Peter Lindburg, Co Owner, Ocean Explorer, Stockholm, Sweden
Peter Lindberg, the originator of the Ocean Explorer team started his wreck career by finding an Amercian B-17 bomber in 1992 off the Swedish east coast.
In 1994 Peter Lindberg and his companions found information about a ship wreck loaded with champagne and cognac in local court archives. This lead to the great find of the small schooner "Jönköping" in 1997 and the salvage of the same in year 1998. 2400 bottles of Heidsick & Co MONOPOLE Gôut Américain 1907 champagne where recovered from the wreck and raised world record prices when sold at Cristie's auction house in London.

In 1999 Peter Lindberg and his team found the wreck "Kyros" which had 1000 bottles of cognac and 300 bottles of liquer in her hold. Depth, lack of funding and weather problem has made this project an "unclosed" project so far.
Peter Lindberg has participated in many other wreck projects and salvages and are constatly working on new projects.
On June 10, 2011 at an unrevealed location some 250 feet below the brackish waters between Sweden and Finland, the deep-sea salvage company Ocean Explorer has discovered a large, bizarrely shaped object on the seabed.
"This thing turned up. My first reaction was to tell the guys that we have a UFO here on the bottom," said Peter Lindberg, the leader of the amateur treasure hunters.
Sonar readings show that the mysterious object is about 60 meters across, or, about the size of a jumbo jet. And it's not alone. Nearby on the sea floor is another, smaller object with a similar shape. Even more fascinating, both objects have "drag marks" behind them on the sea floor, stretching back more than 400 feet.

And what’s more, when the team turned back to make another pass and get a closer look, they found another similarly shaped object some 600 feet away.
The Ocean Explorer Team Has gone public since the discoveries asking for backing to return to the site to investigate further. The following are posts and updates from the website:

A commercial opportunity out of the ordinary.
Ocean X Team has found a disc shaped object on the sea floor at 85 meters depth, but what is it?
Well, we do not know but your company should really not miss the chance of being highlighted in front of hundreds of millions TV-viewers when we found out.
We are also looking for investors who are interested in the object and can see the potential value.
For more information about investment please contact us.
A sponsorshipagreement is ready with the Swedish company Ocean Modules regarding usage of state of the art ROV’s (RemotelyOperated Vehicle). Ocean Modules will provide ROV’s to Ocean X Team at the different planed expeditions during 2012. Ocean Modules different models ofROV’s have proven their capacity in rough conditions, for example in the North Sea. Please check the link for more information about Ocean Modules; www.ocean-modules.com
Ocean X Team has now signed a partnership agreement with Titan TV production.
Titan TV will produce a TV documentary series and documantary film for an international audience.
The production starts in April, see more at: www.balticcowboys.com
Another exciting expedition this year is one more thing to look forward to and the history being made this year is growing as we watch. I am personally looking forward to the follow up with this story and will share any details as they are available. Good Luck Baltic Cowboys!
