BREAKING NEWS 2pm, The divers are now down and investigating the circle and reports from the ship say they are really amazed. There is definitely something unusual hiding at the seabed – a Mystery Beneath. More information and pictures will be released next week.
Spin stabilizes an object and keeps it from simply falling into the water. A minimum speed must be achieved or the stone will hit the water and sink immediately. Flat, round stones are best because the surface area creates a bounce on impact, but the “magic angle” between a spinning stone and the water should be about 20 degrees in order to achieve the maximum number of skips

In all seriousness though, if anything spectacular was found like a crashed UFO or something that would challenge history according to modern science or religion we would never hear the truth about it. This is the world we live in folks.edit on 8-6-2012 by Konduit because: (no reason given)

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.

Yes and I like you would love it, religion has been given an easy ride for far too long, an alien race being here before would be a game changer.
We live in hope..
When the .50 caliber bullet was fired vertically downward, the critical distance for complete penetration was found to lie between 4 ft. and 5 ft. Firing at oblique angles of 45 to 60 degrees from the vertical position reduced the lethal bullet travel by approximately 1 ft. When the .30 caliber bullet was fired vertically downward, complete penetration was observed at 1 ft., but not at 2 ft. Based on these observations a person must be submerged at least 5 ft. to feel reasonably safe from .50 caliber machine gun fire and at least 2 ft. for .30 caliber machine gun fire.
Each time the stone skips the surface of the water it is reflected upwards, its downward velocity is reversed, and its horizontal velocity is reduced. Since the trailing edge of the stone typically breaches the water first, it is also pitched down slightly. This brief downward pitching affects the direction of the stone’s path. Each subsequent bounce slows it down until it penetrates the water surface rather than skipping over it. The height from which it is thrown, the angle, the impact attitude, and the condition of the water’s surface - all are additional factors that affect how many skips occur and how quickly the stone splashes down.
The principle of the conservation of momentum dictates that as the stone enters the water and pushes some of the water downwards, the stone is forced upwards. This force is equal to the hydrodynamic pressure on the stone multiplied by its area. Assuming that this force is balanced against the weight of the stone, then Mg, where M is its mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity, there is a minimum velocity - a few kilometers per hour - above which the stone will bounce. In other words, a stone has to have a minimum velocity in order to bounce. If its velocity is less than this value, the stone skims across the water for a short distance and then sinks.
There is somewthing about the sea bed scan of the 'disc' cutting a path in the sea bed that does not ring scientifcaly true with me for some reason... As posted by Chadwickus.. www.abovetopsecret.com... Something does not sit right.. excuse the pun..
Therefore, I still think it arrived prior to the water being there.. If it was dragged their by glacial action then it is an odd shape.. and stranger still to have left a troughk, which must be bed rock to havenot een washed away by the water.. so glacial action most probable at this time IMO.. could be wrong.. just trying to think logically..

People's hatred and ignorance for 'God' has left people hoping that anything will come from outerspace and 'change' religion leaves me shaking my head. Religion has never had a 'easy ride'. Sounds like you got something against that and are rooting for either satan or aliens.
They will not find an alien ship from outerspace. Some of you are so lost in life without out a clue that in between drinking, watching tv and and thinking that your are somewhat important against the other 6 billion drones out there is surely a classic form of something.
Hi David, Thank you for your engagement in Ocean X Team! The divers are now down and investigating the circle and reports from the ship say they are really amazed and there is definitely something unusual hiding at the seabed. During next week we will give more information and pictures. Best regards, Josephine
