There are mysterious noises in the sea. NOAA has
six unidentified underwater sounds (and their kinda creepy spectrographs) on their website, recorded by the sonar arrays that used to hunt submarines, but which are now are used for research. The most famous of these is
The Bloop, a sound of
seemingly biological origin, yet many times louder than the loudest biolocial noise. With an origin in an empty stretch of the the Pacific Ocean, it
gives Cthulhu watchers something to think about. Another once-mysterious sound,
The Boing has been identified as
coming from minke whales. Yet the sounds known as
Slow Down,
Julia, Train, and others remain intriguing mysteries.
