[edit] The Baltic Sea Thing
To be completely honest I had never heard of the "Baltic Sea Thing" before (including our article on it.) I'm not an expert on material science, but I am studying Engineering and I must say I'm less than impressed by what you said about the rock's chemical composition (I apologize if I'm being rude, its just that I'm really not convinced). Iron oxides will be found in all sorts of naturally occurring rocks. Titanium oxides, while less common, certainly can be found in natural deposits. After all, if it didn't where would we get titanium ore from? You specifically mentioned that both metallic substances were found in an oxidized (read unrefined) form. With the exception of gold, silver, and sometimes copper, all metals we find are found in an oxidized state and have to be refined to be usable in machinery. Were the metals products of an alien space craft I would expect them to be found in a refined form. Furthermore it is unlikely that the oxidization is the result of corrosion as it appears that the rust was uniform throughout the sample, were it an artificial source that rusted we would expect to mostly see oxidized layers on the surface. Please keep an open mind to ideas that might not fit with your prior assumptions. Samstr (talk) 03:45, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
