Our journey then takes us underwater to the Baltic Sea Anomaly—a strange, enigmatic object that has puzzled scientists and conspiracy theorists alike. What is this mysterious formation, and why does it continue to spark debate?
Finally, we confront the dark legacy of the Hanford Site in Benton County, Washington.
