The Bloop
A brief explanation here; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop

I can't help but think that the Bloop would be more famous if it didn't have such a stupid name. The very concept of it fascinates me. This isn't some lights in the sky photo'd by a man with Parkinsons on a box brownie. This is a noise that confirms to no other signature ever recorded be it biological, mechanical or geological. It wasn't reported by a man with an overbite and a history of delusions, it showed up on one of the most sophisticated pieces of microphany ever devised (and futher to the wiki article also cropped up on an Australian submarine sonar telemetry) and was recorded for posterity. Despite this, nobody seems interested.

It fascinates me that we (by which I mean society not me personally) watch "Britains most haunted bus stop" or wherever we've sent Derek Acorah this week and lap up the X-Files and yet when something provably mad showed up and was recorded, we shrugged our shoulders and went back to the TV's.

Length? Well if whatever made the Bloop was biological, it would be a big ole bastard.

Isn't it true that.
We know more about the surface of the moon than we do about the bottom of the ocean.

Doesn't suprise me there's something going BLOOP down there.

Hmmm...
Sounds like gas hydrates sublimating to me.

Have you heard it cleaned up at actual speed?
Sounds rather less gassy then;

Yes
I have heard it cleaned up and at actual speed and it is definitely gas hydrates sublimating.

Maybe you want it to be something strange but I promise you it isn't. I'm not saying strange things don't happen, I believe they do, but this isn't one of them.

Ah well
There's always the slowdown. Seeing as you know your subliminating, is there any reason why it wasn't flagged up straight away as this?
