Bloop

Bloop is a weird sound. There's an article about that on Wikipedia if you want to read more.

It goes like "shshshshshGLOPwoooahshshu" or sumthin'. Even though the name is Bloop, I believe that it should be called Glop instead. BTW, they has to speed it up 16 times for us to listen, so maybe a whale or an elephant or a dog told someone that is was a Bloop, and they believed it. Animals these days.

Some group called NOAA plays several specific roles in society, the benefits of which extend beyond the US economy and into the larger global community. One of them is identifying all of these noises.

David Wolman said that 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 4800 kilometres 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?

Bloop has many brothers called Upsweep, Train, Slow Down, and Whisle, and also has a sister called Julia. All of them are NOAA's kids. Isn't that adorable?
