I don't think they meant that there is a mushroom under the sea. More likely, the Swedish report tried to clarify that the object was not flat but rounded like a mushroom cap -- a 60-meter wide, 10-feet high blob with a hole in the middle. The video images are not helping, as it now looks more like a fairy circle of rocks that don't match up to the sonar images at all. I'm not expecting a UFO (USO? unidentified submersed object?) but hping for more than glacial debris.

"Comics writer and occultist Grant Morrison given an MBE by the Queen of England."
...given we're talking Grant Morrison Greg you sure it wasn't an OBE (Out of Body Experience) or indeed an OHM (Out His bloody Mind)]?
