Interviewer:
Dennis Åsberg good morning. It's been hectic for you lately?
Dennis:
Yes, that is putting it lightly. Unbelievable. It was released more material last night in Rapport (Swedish newsprogram) that´s why I´m a little tired, I've been up very long time.
Interviewer:
I'll just clarify. You are one of wreck divers who found this mysterious big circle at the bottom of the Baltic sea, about the middle of international waters. Although this has debated sharply among experts, both Swedish and international, no one has managed to get it, no one knows what it is for sure. Do you know anything more now than you did a few months ago? Do you have become somewhat wiser?
Dennis:
On the contrary. The questions have become so much bigger now than they were before. We were down there. There after we went down again. Two times we have been down with the divers. As we have seen this, we have become more and more astonished. There are angles, 90 degree angles, and it's like rooms and corridors on top of this circle. The last thing we went public with is this hole that we have found at 25-30 cm.
Interviewer:
If you explain a little bit more. When you saw this, what exactly does it looks like?
Dennis:
What does it look... it's a 60 meter in diameter large plate at 90 meters deep and is completely round.
Interviewer:
Perfectly round?
Dennis:
Yes. It is. It is not in any way an oval or wavy. It's round. It looks like a mushroom on the ground.
Interviewer:
Is this plate even and smooth, or is it choppy?
Dennis:
No, it's not. On top of it is that, as I said, corridors, aisles and angles in height about 7-8 meters high.
Interviewer:
What? And how does it look inside them?
Dennis:
We have used this robot, as an owl driving down there, and uses a camera and visual look. It does
not look so good down there, it is 1.5-2 meters visibility. Right away we understand that there is something that is really weird when we went down. They corridors ... no room with a roof but with with walls ... and angles ... it's insane, this does not belong there.
Interviewer:
It's just like you say. It's insane and does not belong .. so it's been about 5 million different theories about what it can be. Everything from UFO, Mellenium Falcon ... and it really resembles the Millennium Falcon, to the more natural, what can I say, solutions that seem more credible. But what do you think? What is the closest solution out of all the ones you've heard?
Dennis:
Well... You have to be realistic. Meteorite I've believed for a long time but as I've seen them this 90-degree angles and things down there that makes ... meteorites do not look like this.
Interviewer:
But it looks like it is built by humans?
Dennis:
Yes it does. It looks manmade. It also looks as if it's made of some kind of concrete.
Interviewer:
Do you chop off a piece that you have raised?
Dennis:
We tried, believe me. But it did not work. So we took instead material around, and it is rock .. ordinary stone. There is magma on this rock, something that is burned, which has had a very very high temperature. We have also taken samples so we already know, something has happened down there, which has burned.
Interviewer:
I know it has been discussion of if the world's security services follow this carefully, if there should be a secret ... Soviet weapons from the Cold War or something like that. Is there something you've noticed, that it would be something in it?
Dennis:
No. Both Peter and I have been a little observant of that but .. no, we have not seen anything to suggest it. But of course, you have been wondering a bit, what if someone following us now and document everything and trying to find out everything we do ... so of course we have had our eyes open.
Interviewer:
Stranger things kept the security services engaged, so it would not be really weird. At last. Now what? When are you going out again on the next dive?
Dennis:
Once we're done with everything. We're going out there again. We're going down to the object. But now we try to examine the very object and take samples from it.
Interviewer:
With more sophisticated equipment?
Dennis:
Correct. Unable to dislodge something with a hammer. We must have better equipment. Doing this
at 90 meters deep with a diver in 15 minutes, one does not so much. Therefore, we have to have a drill of some kind. So we can drill down there. But I'm bad at it, some kind of hydraulic drill perhaps of some kind. Improved equipment we need.
