What created this strange sound in Earth's Pacific Ocean? Pictured above is a visual representation of a loud and unusual sound, dubbed a Bloop, captured by deep sea microphones in 1997. In the above graph, time is shown on the horizontal axis, deep pitch is shown on the vertical axis, and brightness designates loudness. Although Bloops are some of the loudest sounds of any type ever recorded in Earth's oceans, their origin remains unknown. The Bloop sound was placed as occurring several times off the southern coast of South America and was audible 5,000 kilometers away. Although the sound has similarities to those vocalized by living organisms, not even a blue whale is large enough to croon this loud. The sounds point to the intriguing hypothesis that even larger life forms lurk in the unexplored darkness of Earth's deep oceans. A less imagination-inspiring possibility, however, is that the sounds resulted from some sort of iceberg calving. No further Bloops have been heard since 1997, although other loud and unexplained sounds have been recorded.
It has now been confirmed that this sound could only come from an living organism, and it's characteristics are of something many many many times bigger than anything we have discovered today.
What the flying %#$% is this thing?

The Mysterious "Bloop" Giant Unknown Sea Monster?

After seeing the word "Bloop" so many times. I was sure the Youtube link was a rickroll lol.
OT: No idea. In any case, we haven't even begun to discover life in our oceans. There are A LOT of unknown species down there.

Cthulu, obviously.
But in all seriousness, fuck the ocean, hiding monstrosities 'n shit, seeming so innocuous with its calming waves and sandy beaches.

Sounds like air bubble to me, maybe from one of the deep sea fractures, so one big eruption of gas followed by a couple of small ones.
Edit on the confirmation, Thats impossible, If we have no idea what made the noise how on earth do we know its living?

I remember hearing about this years ago. Absolutely frightened by the possibility of it being a living being.

It's Crab People scheming their ultimate plan for world domination, through use of My Little Pony and children's tears.

Nope. Just an unknown phenomena but most certainly not a 'giant unknown sea monster'

I hear the bottom of the ocean is less explored than the moon. There's bound to be some creepy-ass stuff down there.

I think, the ocean is more mysterious than space.
I love the Bloop Mistery!

Don't necro threads... There's a more recent topic here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...t-ever-existed
If the OP happens to check this: do you have a better source than a YouTube video, specifically to back up the following claim:
Everything I've read says the source is still unknown, a living organism is just one theory, and probably one of the most unlikely.It has now been confirmed that this sound could only come from an living organism, and it's characteristics are of something many many many times bigger than anything we have discovered today.

A mystery that will probably never be solved due to how old it is and how we still somehow don't have the technology to see more of the ocean. I'll go with Cthulu. Or an underwater earthquake.
