i’m talking about that one-sound anomaly taken by several sonar/audio phones scattered around the (atlantic?) ocean back in 1997. oceanographers say it sounded like it came from a biological source. but to have been picked up over such a large area by several phones, it had to have been bigger than any animal known to man.
google for specifics. i’ll welcome different interpretations as well.
I am going to go with massive methane release from deep sea methane hydrates.
Is this based on certain properties of the audio profile, or just a hunch?
Just a hunch, and the belief that it is more reasonable than a gigantic sea monster.
It’s okay. We were able to get it back into the containment vessel and the implementation timeline of the project was only set back by six months, so the full release will be on the vernal eqinox instead of the autumnal.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
In his house at R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits farting
Either that, or Christopher Moore got it right in Fluke
In other words ancient massive flatulence, which is still kind of an eldritch abomination.
Better stick with the sea monster or the global warming denialists will jump all over the bloop as evidence that man has nothing to do with it.
See, Fear Itself, shaving with occam’s Razor can give you some nasty razor burn.

Let the Kraken release a fart!
Let’s hope not!
Brian Dunning produced a really great episode of his “Skeptoid” podcast about The Bloop a couple of years ago:
And I’ll bet he blames it on Yog Sothoth, too.
I have an ironclad alibi, so don’t even ask.
If a sea monster, why aren’t we detecting constant Bloops? Or perhaps a bloop-cluster per year during mating season? The lack of blooping distant mega-sealife suggests more like a one-shot geological phenomenon.
Or maybe it was the death-scream of the last Bloop creature, when shot by idiots testing a submarine acoustic weapon.
Maybe the Bloop Create was on a once-in-a-lifetime Bloop holiday to an exotic Bloop destination that it will never visit again. Betcha didn’t think of that, Mr. Smart Guy.
Hey WTF, don’t blame it on me! It was probably that bitch Shub Niggurath and her horde of a thousand bastards
Did it emanate from the Marianas Trench?
Flatulence.
I haz it.
