So before you go so quick to dismiss something and accuse people of tramping on "your beliefs,"and trying to convince everyone of a "non story" to which you have no evidence of, please think before you type and it might make you look less like a hypocrite.
[Will you admit that this has nothing to do with aliens and UFOs?
Okay, I suppose I have "no idea" that this particular rock formation was not created by aliens, or Adolph Hitler, or the people of Atlantis, or a lost civilization of sea monkeys, whatever.
Humor and Ridicule
Satire is a time-honored political weapon, and a devastating one. Few pompous, stuffed-shirt politicians or other phony leaders can stand much of it. A good joke can be deadlier than a gun when it comes to killing off bad politicians.
When asked to visualize propaganda, most people think of a poster or advertising campaign which uses false information, oversimplification, and flawed logic to emotionally impact the viewer. Many government propaganda campaigns rely heavily on ideals of patriotism, faith, and country to suggest that people who do not agree with the political issue at hand are unpatriotic or even seditious. Numerous techniques are used in propaganda campaigns including greenwashing, quoting out of context, misinformation, junk science, buzzwords, and astroturfing. In addition, the material usually contains logical fallacies such as an appeal to ridicule or an ad hominem attack.

The Governments of the world cover up the existence of Aliens visiting Earth.. but they are letting divers mess around with an alien craft?
No one else is hearing the cognitive dissonance that must be pounding in the ears of people that believe this scenario?

How could I possibly admit that?????
Since I have NO CLUE what it is and I wasn't there??????
It very well COULD have EVERYTHING to do with "Aliens" AND "UFOs"
Then again, It may have absolutely NOTHING to do with either.
HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW!?!?!?

Ridicule is a sure sign of a weak and timid mind.
It is also a tactic that is used by those who spread propaganda.

Or, the governments of the world are not covering up aliens visiting Earth (because governments of the world are not aware of any aliens visiting Earth) .... but they are letting divers mess around with something which there is so far no reason to suppose is an alien craft.
Which is the more likely?

So using this logic, everything is on topic, because there is no way to know for certain that it does not have to do with UFOs.
I don't know that random glacial erratics strewn across the countryside were not actually placed there by aliens thousands of years ago, since I wasn't there, but that doesn't mean every random rock littering the countryside is a valid topic for a forum on UFOs and aliens.

Latitudes of acceptance If a person's message is outside the bounds of acceptance for an individual and group, most techniques will engender psychological reactance (simply hearing the argument will make the message even less acceptable). There are two techniques for increasing the bounds of acceptance. First, one can take a more even extreme position that will make more moderate positions seem more acceptable. This is similar to the Door-in-the-Face technique. Alternatively, one can moderate one's own position to the edge of the latitude of acceptance and then over time slowly move to the position that was previously.[
I don't think it is a Laccolith. A laccolith are form from stationary odjects. While this unknown object seem to have been built before the ice age. Which was later cover with 1000s of feet of ice, the glaciers itself is what had cause the runway like tracks in the floor bed by pushing the unknown object along the sea floor bed.
