'The Bloop' - An Unexplained Sound From Under The Waves
Bizarre/Strange
Wednesday 20th, July 2022
In 1997 an ultra low frequency, high amplitude underwater sounds was detected by NOAA which left scientists around the global unable to identify the sound.
The sound's source is said to have been triangulated to 50 degrees south, 100 degrees west which is a remote point in the south Pacific Ocean, just west of the southern top of South America.
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have attributed the 'Bloop' sound to a cryoseism or ice quake.
The sound was detected by the Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array, this array is a system of microphones which are primarily used to monitor undersea seismic activity.
There have been many conspiracy theories as to the cause of the sound, like that from David Wolman who said that he believed the sounds was not of man-made origin and that the sound was also not a geological event. Wolman went on to say that the audio profile resembled that of a living creature.
"Fox's hunch is that the sound nicknamed Bloop is the most likely to come from some sort of animal, because its signature is a rapid variation in frequency similar to that of sounds known to be made by marine beasts. There's one crucial difference, however: in 1997 Bloop was detected by sensors up to 4,800 km (3,000 mi) apart. That means it must be far louder than any whale noise, or any other animal noise for that matter. Is it even remotely possible that some creature bigger than any whale is lurking in the ocean depths? Or, perhaps more likely, something that is much more efficient at making sound?" - David Wolman
