In July 2025, Dennis Åsberg, co-founder of Ocean X, known for discovering the Baltic Sea Anomaly in 2011, announced a new, potentially groundbreaking discovery.
In social media posts, he described receiving data that is “incredibly big” and “hard to accept,” stating, “I’ve just received some data that is so incredible, I’m at a loss for words. I wish I could share everything right now, but it has to come from the right source.”
He added, “It is true that this is an incredibly big discovery. And I had a hard time accepting all of this.”
Åsberg is working with astronomer Dr. Beatriz Villarroel, who studies unusual objects in astronomical surveys, on a formal paper to reveal this finding. He suggested the data is so significant that it “perhaps shouldn’t be disclosed to humanity,” but provided no further details.
Separately, the Society for UAP Studies (SUAPS) announced support for a new expedition to study the Baltic Sea Anomaly, a mysterious 21-meter-wide circular object found 92 meters underwater.
Discovered by Ocean X during a sonar scan, the object has sharp edges and a dome-like top, with a nearby trench suggesting movement across the seafloor. Divers reported equipment failures near it, as diver Stefan Hogerborn noted electrical gear and satellite phones stopped working nearby.
The Baltic Sea anomaly is a feature visible on an indistinct sonar image taken by Peter Lindberg, Dennis Åberg and their Swedish OceanX diving team.
The new expedition, funded by a grant, uses advanced tools like multibeam sonar and 3D modeling to map the object without disturbing it.
SUAPS, led by Dr. Michael Cifone, emphasizes a scientific approach, ensuring data integrity and public access to results after analysis. The team includes marine geologists, robotic engineers, and other experts, aiming to set standards for studying similar underwater phenomena.
Åsberg’s new discovery and the Baltic Sea Anomaly expedition are unrelated, though public interest has linked them.
The anomaly, first explored over a decade ago, sparked debate due to its unusual shape, with theories ranging from a glacial deposit to an artificial structure. Past efforts lacked resources for conclusive answers, but the current mission uses cutting-edge technology to gather clear data. SUAPS insists on empirical evidence, avoiding premature conclusions.
