The Bloop

[jbudgie]

"The sound, traced to somewhere around 50° S 100° W (South American southwest coast), was detected repeatedly by the Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array, which uses U.S. Navy equipment originally designed to detect Soviet submarines. According to the NOAA description, it "rises rapidly in frequency over about one minute and was of sufficient amplitude to be heard on multiple sensors, at a range of over 5,000 km." According to scientists who have studied the phenomenon it matches the audio profile of a living creature but there is no known animal that could have produced the sound. If the sound did come from an animal, it would reportedly have to be several times the size of the largest known animal on Earth, the Blue Whale."

Spooky Eh ??

Link? My guess is it's a viral campaign for a new movie???

[jbudgie]

No, it's in the New Scientist this week under 10 unexplained scientific things.

Google it or look under wikipedia.

The Admiral on the Navy ship farted into his comm's mic' the crew were so worried of embarrassment that they concocted the 'bloop' story.

[TheEnd]

There is a wiki section of odd things like that.

It's probably from that alien spaceship in The Abyss, rather than some made up sea monster.

It's sea-badgers, playing the bagpipes underwater.
