The ocean always contains strange mysteries that people never fully understand. In 1997, a series of underwater recording equipment from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) unexpectedly recorded an unusual sound in the Pacific Ocean.
Mysterious sounds under the Pacific Ocean: monsters or aliens?
Audio spectrum obtained by The Bloop
Nicknamed ' Bloop ', the sound lasts about 1 minute, with extremely low frequencies but the volume is so big that the device about 5,000 km away is also captured.
At that time, "The Bloop" was recorded many times during that summer in the area near the Equator of the Pacific Ocean. The sound sequence usually lasts about a minute and is recorded on a lot of sound sensors at the same time.
The mysterious sound of Bloop deep in the ocean was recorded by NOAA
Through analysis, expert Christopher Fox of the Sound Monitoring Project, the American Meteorological and Hydrological Agency (NOAA), said: "The Bloop" is full of characteristics of sound vibration frequency proven. They are emitted from a marine species.
The strange thing is that with such volume, no animal in the world can be created. Even the ocean giant is a blue whale, which can produce sounds of 150-180 decibels, equivalent to a roaring jet engine, which cannot be compared. After repeating in the seabed during the summer, ' Bloop ' suddenly disappeared like it was when he first appeared.
Horror hypotheses begin .
It must be a giant sea creature that can produce such a sound that is so great
Many people associate the owner of " The Bloop " as the Cthulhu monster in the work of the famous writer HPLovecraft. It is a giant tentacle monster that emits a mysterious cry.

The reason is related because the area obtained "The Bloop" is very close to the location described about R'lyeh - the city sunk to the bottom of the ocean and is also home to the Cthulhu monster that HP writer Lovecraft wrote in the famous short story "The Call of Cthulhu".

Some UFO researchers believe that it may still be the aliens' bases on the ocean floor and this sound is due to their activities.
There was even a time when "The Bloop" was tied to the Lochness monster legend . These theories have for a long time become a hot topic for the entertainment and film industry.
When the veil of mystery gradually unfolds
The hypotheses about sea monsters or aliens make the scientific community constantly learn and research with the desire to solve the mystery " The Bloop" . And it seems that after many attempts, the truth about the mysterious sound of the Pacific bottom has been brought to light.
'Bloop' is not yet the most mysterious sound of the ocean. In May 1997, the US government record devices captured another strange sound, called 'Slowdown'. Lasting for about 7 minutes, it gradually decreased in altitude, like a plane flying by and losing. Slowdown seems to have been released from somewhere on the southwestern coast and far away, more than 2,000 km away.
In 2008, in the process of monitoring the giant iceberg about to dissolve near A53a near South Georgia Island, the sound of " The Bloop" sound appeared again.
The recording results showed that the cracking of large ice sheets on the sea had enough sound intensity to travel at a distance of 5,000 km. On the other hand, the spectral image obtained by the tape is quite similar to the sound spectrum of " The Bloop".

After comparison, the NOAA research center said that "The Bloop" is actually not too mysterious but could be the cracking of ice sheets at sea or in the ocean.
However, this answer is not enough to satisfy curious people. In the world, many people still believe in the presence of a sea monster that emits " The Bloop" sound.
However, the scientific community has yet to find a common point in its hypotheses, and this secret still haunts them to this day, according to New Scientist. Recently, Cthulhu legend fans in the American writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft's horror stories also leaned on the idea that this giant monster emitted ' Bloop ' while sleeping somewhere in his heart.
