The Monster Beneath the Pacific: The Bloop (Pacific Ocean)

from Haunted American History · host Christopher Feinstein

In 1997, underwater microphones operated by the U.S. government detected something extraordinary in the South Pacific: a sound powerful enough to register on sensors more than 3,000 miles apart. Scientists knew the signatures of earthquakes, volcanoes, ships, and whales. This looked different. It looked biological. The internet quickly supplied an explanation—a colossal sea creature lurking near the most isolated place on Earth, suspiciously close to where H.P. Lovecraft had placed the sunken city of R'lyeh decades earlier. For fifteen years, the sound remained one of the ocean's greatest mysteries. Tonight, we uncover what really created The Bloop... and why the truth may be more unsettling than the monster.
