keninsc Posted September 1, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2012 It's an experimental sonar the Navy's been trying to develop to track subs without giving up the point of origin. About ten or fifteen years ago the Navy got into trouble because it caused whales and dolphins to run aground because it messed up their own low frequency sonar. However, the Navy still thinks it has potential and tests it more responsibly now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafterman Posted September 1, 2012 #9 Share Posted September 1, 2012 http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4177 Read the transcript or download the podcast - it's only about 12 minutes. So, be skeptical of news reports or web sites that parrot the unsourced claim that the Bloop "matches the audio profile of a living creature." It doesn't really; and there are other unknown sounds that sound a lot more like an animal. And I can think of half a dozen phenomena off the top of my head for which I couldn't find recordings or spectrograms, that might be good candidates to explain the Bloop. What about undersea releases of natural gas bubbles? What about deep sea vents? What about some kind of manmade activity: A submarine blowing a ballast tank or releasing some undersea weapon or machine? I make no pretense at being able to explain the Bloop. NOAA experts far more knowledgeable than I have been unable to classify it. What I do know, and what I encourage you to consider, is that no good explanation is very well supported; certainly not the pop-culture version that CNN would have us jump to, that it's a giant sea monster. Sometimes the only way to be right is to simply say "I don't know...yet." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever Learning Posted September 1, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) ummmmm if i were to take an educated guess, i would have to say its the Kraken or Jormungand the Midgard serpent (kidding) Edited September 1, 2012 by Ever Learning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xquizit Posted September 1, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Mermaid? Has any seen the documentary on the Discovery Chanel "mermaid a body found"? They claim that the bloop was from some unknown species in the ocean. I personally don't believe in mermaids, but maybe an undiscovered whale or dolphin?

Hasina Posted September 1, 2012 #12 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I want it to be some unknown creature, one that's huge! But I don't think it's been heard since, so it's doubtful. As to what I think it may be? I honestly don't know, but the glacier idea seems to fit for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Wearer of Hats Posted September 2, 2012 #18 Share Posted September 2, 2012 In an ideal world, that "mockumentary" would have included commentary from someone like Doctor Helen Magnus (from Sanctuary) or "UNIT Scientific Advisor Doctor John Smith" (from Doctor Who) or maybe Walter Bishop (Fringe).

Hasina Posted September 5, 2012 #24 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Good story. If you can't cite it, why bother posting? In the hopes that maybe someone else might know where it's from. I don't know how many time's I've brought up a view point with 'here's this viewpoint but I don't have the exact citation for it'. Also, why bother? Cause it gives us another thing to consider, even if we can't find the source. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted September 5, 2012 #25 Share Posted September 5, 2012 If it was organic, we'd have found repeat signals by now, wouldn't we? I think I agree it was some kind of secret scientific experiment. Were the Myth-Busters around at the time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
