I've been reading a lot of creepy unsolved mysteries in the past few hours. some are about ghosts, some about aliens. But by far the one that interests me the most is the bloop, as well as others. Here's a CNN article describing the bloop. And here is the accompanying wikipedia article. This is not the only example of an unexplained deep sea noise. There is: Upsweep Train Julia Whistle and Slowdown I find these incredibly fascinating. The fact that there is a slim chance a giant monster lurks the depths of the ocean terrifies me, but in a good way. I hope at least someone with the appropriate resources is looking into this. Meanwhile, does anybody want to rent a boat with me and sail around the southern Pacific? It sounds like a fun time.
sound travels thousands of miles in water, and the signal is warped all the time, and you're surprised to see unusual results?
But seriously, I don't take much stock in mythical sea beasts being the culprits for strange under water sounds. Not to say that in the ocean in the miles of Ocean that has yet to be explored in the deepest depths that there can't be large sea creatures have yet to identify, I just doubt the validity of dinosaur-esque creatures. Much more likely is deep sea cravats with fault lines spewing molten lava into the sea floor causing the ground to constantly reshape itself which could vary well be the source of all sorts of strange sounds.
It sounds cool, but like others have said, it could be any number of things. If scientists were to discover the same sounds multiple times, then we may be able to put more stock into the idea. I was actually looking at some vids on Youtube yesterday about strange creatures washing up on beaches around the world, and there was this weird thing that showed up on a beach in Japan. Looked like a giant egg of some description, but it could have been anything. After all, we've only explored about 1% of the ocean, could be things we've never even dreamed of living in the untouched depths.
Apparently the place the Bloop has been triangulated to is only 900 miles from the city which Cthullu is supposedly trapped in. Sleep tight.
I would like to believe that the source of the noise is the Cloverfield monster. No one can tell me different.
Wikipedia does not count as a viable source, ever, for any reason. And yes, I realize there are links on there to other sites, verifying them. Let's take a look at those, shall we? I do not think "How stuff works" counts as a definitive source. HowStuffWorks "Cthulhu Mythos" And a non-existent page on a Technology website doesn't either. http://blog.makezine.com/2009/11/the_bloop_of_cthulhu/
I'm going to go ahead and say that Call of Cthullu is the source, since, you know, the fictional city is made up FOR the book.
Fine, I just did it myself. Using this website I calculated the distance between to two points, which came out to 1069.114 nautical miles.
Where's the scientific backing for where the bloop came from? And the "City" is clearly fictional, so having a definitive place for it is kind of silly. On a side note, even if you did have proof for all of these statements, 1069 miles is a long as way. That's like me saying "Hey guys, Orlando Florida is pretty close to New York City, New York!" The two cities are 1086.98 miles apart, if you care to know.
This is the website of the NOAA. You have no reason not to believe their results. If you do, take a complaint up with them. Otherwise, suspend your disbelief. ಠ_ಠ Which is why I thought it was weird that you wanted to see proof of the fact in the first place.
