“Unknown floating object” causes confusion off the Swedish coast

Well, here is something you don’t hover in the water every day: a huge piece of metal from an offshore wind turbine. The Swedish coast guard recently identified the so-called UFO-and it is the second rogue object that was discovered within one month.

Last week the Swedish coast guard received a tip about a mysterious UFO, in this case a “unidentified floating object” that fluctuated near the border of the country in Norway. The Marine Corps and the Sea Rescue Company sucks expressed their concerns about the size of the object that they considered large enough to hinder the shipping operations.

Human origin

The coast guard then sent a patrol vessel, KBV 310 to examine the rogue object, which turned out to be a broken wind turbine blade – a metal block with extremely human origins, as far as we are aware of it.

“The size of the object was unclear, but large enough to show the sea food,” reported the coast guard in one Facebook post. After the crew had pulled the object out of the water, the crew found that the size of the UFO measure about 50 feet (5 meters) of 5 meters (5 meters). The investigators still have to determine how or when the wind turbine ended up in the ocean.

Surprisingly, this was the second time that the coast guard had to react to a sighting of this kind in August. The first UFO also turned out to be something that was produced by people: a hot hot water.

A lurking problem

Sweden-Like most Scandinavian countries—Rid on his strong commitment to renewable energies. According to the Swedish government, more than half of the country’s energy comes from Sustainable sourcesunderlines his commitment to remove fossil fuels. However, the relationship to wind power has recently been quite chunky with the government lately with the government cancellation An ambitious plan for the construction of 13 wind farms in the middle of geopolitical tensions with Russia.

So far, nothing suggests that the recently discovered UFO turbine has something to do with this decision. The most likely scenario is that the streak part comes from an offshore -windpark construction project commissioned by the government in 2013.

For some Swedish citizens, the uncanny discovery will undoubtedly become a reminder of the recent re-evaluation of the relationship with wind energy and to a certain extent remind you-and to a certain extent renewable energies.

In the meantime, the Swedish coast guard is one of the most trustworthy government agencies in Sweden Surveys. His main task is not to scan the water according to extraterrestrial objects, but his positive reputation can explain why Sweden trust the agency that she occasionally treats UFO views.
