I have realized that their haven't been any threads based on the Eltanin Antenna based on our forum search so I'll discuss it with a new thread.

The Eltanin Antenna is a long pole shaped object several meters long based in the Antartic depths of the sea. Short little poles with round shaped objects are at each end. Whats the big deal?

What is this Eltanin Antenna? Their has been no advanced technology for anything to deposit it their or leave it their based on the depths of the sea (thousands of meters deep). Is it a plant that we haven't explored yet? Is it ancient advanced technology or ruins left behind? Is it extraterrestial belongings or remanings? These are the questions that are brought along the Eltanin Antenna. Here is a picture of what the Eltanin Antenna looks like:

This is a real copied image of the Eltanin Antenna deep in the Antartican floors.

This image was drawn to show the stages the Eltanin Antenna, or in this case, living form in plants, goes through.

Here are some sites based on the Eltanin Antenna and news articles:

(I placed this under cryptozoology because a majority of scientists especially cryptozoologists and zoologists believe this unidentified object or living thing is actually a plant of living form.)

Dude, its not a plant, its not a building, its not alien. Its a sponge, that lives in the ocean, which is an animal that brings in waters, through many chanbers in its body, and filters out food. So theres no real point to this topic.

And you know that for sure from...?

It's very cool and very strange...though perfectly natural IMO. Sometimes nature does some crazy stuff thumbsup.gif Look at Chile...it's called Chile, and its the SHAPE of a Chile!!! w00t.gif

on a thread spree mystery man? lol, jk.

very interesting but i doubt that it is extraterrestrial or outerwordly, just a plant or sponge or other ocean life form that is able to survive in those conditions. but then again those are just my thoughts, i could be wrong...
Mysteryman
Understand but the shape itself is just strange beyond what plants shapes are usually. But accepting the fact that it is a sponge or some sort of living plant.
Lord_Kazius
true, the shape of it is strange and has a weird resemblance to an antenna, but look at other things we have on this world, are they not strange?

Oh! Sorry for taking so long to reply, but I can proe that its only a sponge, and not some homicidal alien waiting in the depths to strick or measly human civilization right in the unsuspecting face. huh.gif

The proff was in one of the links you even gave!


Its in the second link that you provided. And I qoute.

The pertinent text from The Face of the Deep reads: " .. While the bath sponges are limited to the warmest shallow waters of the continental shelf, a few of their bizarre relatives are rather commonly found in the deep sea.  Cladorhiza, a particularly dramatic one which somewhat resembles a space-age microwave antenna, was not uncommon in the early dredge hauls of Challenger and Blake (2.15).
" Agassiz observed that 'they are sponges with a long stem ending in ramifying roots, sunk deeply into the mud.  The stem has nodes with four to six club-like appendages.  They evidently cover like bushes extensive tracts of the bottom.' "



Even though it looks 'space age' (oh my!) its a commonly found marine animal in the more frigid waters of the north.

And to prove to you guys it not a 'living plant' (even though all flaura are alive) I got you a definition from dictionary.com.

Sponge

a. Any of numerous aquatic, chiefly marine invertebrate animals of the phylum Porifera, characteristically having a porous skeleton composed of fibrous material or siliceous or calcareous spicules and often forming irregularly shaped colonies attached to an underwater surface.

b. The light, fibrous, flexible, absorbent skeleton of certain of these organisms, used for bathing, cleaning, and other purposes.

That's right darkside thumbsup.gif I learned about these plants in my scuba course.There isn't much plant life in the ocean where i live,but a LOT of other sea life.So,it's easy to remember which plant is which.

What so hard to understand about it being a sponge straight and simple. It says that its like a sponge 30 times in the links.
