The title of this commentary "The Bloop" may already sound a little too
silly and invite ridiculous reactions but the core subject matter is
real and serious. Some of you may know about it but also some of you
will not and this is something that we all need to pay attention to.
Just what is the "Bloop?" It is a mysterious sound stuck with that name
by those scientists first hearing it. It is a very powerful loud sound
of unknown source recorded in 1997 located in the remote south Pacific west off the tip of South
America and north of Antarctica. It was detected several times by the
stand alone Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array system
designed and built by NOAA (U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration) PMEL (Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory) to
augment the U.S. Navy SOund SUrveillance System (SOSUS). The array's
combined purpose is to monitor undersea earthquakes, ice noise, marine
populations and their migrations, as well as to detect submarines and
their movements.
This particular 1997 sound was of sufficient amplitude to be heard on
multiple sensors and at a range of 5,000 km. It was determined by NOAA
scientists to not be from a man made source
but resembled that of a living creature or creatures never heard
before. It was just several times louder than any living creature sound
ever recorded and very different than anything ever heard before.
Further, subsequent examination by other scientists suggest that the
sound may be made up of many different individual signatures suggesting
multiple entities creating the sound.
This evidence went without any real explanation, was a mystery, and
since it came with no real answers, it didn't get much media or public
attention and was essentially ignored. However, a NOAA team of
scientists continuing to investigate this became excited because of the
anticipation of the possibility of discovery of a new species making it.
They also ran across an at first inexplicable large beaching and death
of whales and dolphins on the Washington state coast that seem to happen
around the same time as the sound. Further, the Navy was ahead of them
at this beaching site insisting on secrecy and even dressed in hazmat
suits. This raised some suspicions about why the Navy was there at all.
Further, the NOAA team subsequent investigation discovered that the
beached whale body tissues were all showing clear evidence of massive sonar impact damage. Their speculative conclusion was that the Navy was testing a new sonar weapon
that was either directly killing marine mammals or driving them in fear
to get away from it into shallow water and the beaching's. Further,
because the Navy had advanced knowledge of the weapon tests timings, that is how they always managed to get to the whale beaching sites first before anyone else.
Now the "Bloop" was a sound also accompanied by a lot of increased whale
and dolphin chatter as distinguished from the Bloop and these were
easily identified. The NOAA team thought that this was likely warnings
being broadcast by the marine mammal communities (whales, dolphins,
etc.) about the Navy sonar weapon test. They also drew the
conclusion that the strange "new" species Bloop sound from the unknown
source or sources was present for the same reason.
Later on in 2005 there was another mass beaching on the South African coast. The South
African researchers there had recorded a similar Bloop sound from their
own undersea sensors and the NOAA team was invited to come help
investigate due to their known prior experience with this. The same
Bloop sound was confirmed as was the same sonar damage to the beached whales. However, at this point a new factor entered the picture. The South
Africans had recovered body chunks like nothing ever seen before from
the stomach of a huge great white shark and they got the NOAA scientists
to take a look at this as well.
The body chunks were in relative poor condition and consisted of three
parts, part of a skull, much of the hip area, and the best preserved was
a major part of a broad flat fluke like horizontal tale obviously used
for up and down propulsion through the water. A thorough investigation
including ruling out whales, dolphins, manatees, etc., first DNA
sampling suggested that this material is humanoid in origin leading
testers to conclude that the samples had been contaminated by exposure
to humans. The excited NOAA scientists were suppose to take the evidence
back to the U.S. for more exhaustive testing but just ahead of
them as they arrived to pick it up, all of the evidence was confiscated
by government order and has of course disappeared.
The core NOAA scientist investigative team members, although careful
about what they say because of their association with NOAA and the Navy.
obviously suspect U.S. Navy secrecy to be behind it all. They also
strongly suspect that the "new" species that made the "Bloop" sound is
actually a race of aquatic people perhaps with human origins. Determined
to get the story out, some of the scientists involved themselves in a
two hour TV special named Mermaids: The Body Found that just a short time ago aired on the Animal Planet channel.
Unfortunately, producer's likely perceived need to generate ratings for
the show resulted in sensationalizing the subject matter with "Mermaid"
labeling. That has invited a mixture of incredulous reaction such as one
blog following the airing referring to it as a mockudrama. Such
humorous but critical characterizations allow too many viewers to move
the evidence over into the unbelievable and dismiss the subject matter
as ridiculous. In other words, by escaping it, one does not have to deal
with it.
The TV show does present some other evidence. For example, there are a
fair number of documented cases where commercial fisherman have brought
up fish from deeper colder waters with fresh
evidence of broke off spears stuck in them. There have also been
artifacts recovered determined to be hand worked spear heads made out of
bone and/or stingray spines of unknown origin. There are also a few
films showing evidence of humanoid aquatic creature capture but also of
possible questionable authenticity.
The TV show also presents a short film taken by two teenage boys who
apparently arrived first at the first whale beaching in Washington state
even before the Navy. They describe finding a human like body on the
beach in among the whale bodies. The TV show presents this film showing
what appears to be a dead person being prodded by one of the boys but
then it jumps up snarling at them causing them to run for their lives.
That of course is why the 2-hour TV show is named Mermaids: The Body Found.
It seems that the two boys and their parents were also later coercised
by the Navy into changing their public story about claiming to find a
human like body but didn't think to ask about the boy's taking pictures
and long after the event the boys produced this video clip to subsequent
investigators. This clip is shown several times in the TV show but
apparently edited. Toward the last of the show that part of the clip
after the boys are running is shown with the camera pointing at the
ground at their running feet. In my opinion, the camera is way too
steady looking down at their feet as they are running for it to be taken
as real.
That gives one pause about taking the clip seriously. Further, the whole
TV show is stretched and augmented by considerable CGI effects creating
the Mermaid people and their life that is entertaining but does little
positive in taking the subject matter seriously. Still, even if one
discounts these young boy's statements and the clip as manipulated and
the TV show producer's motivations in their editing choices, there is
still plenty of hard evidence here to take seriously. There is the Bloop
sound itself, the marine mammal beaching's and their sonar weapon tissue damage, the contents of that shark's stomach in South Africa,
and the government confiscation of this material to obviously prevent
further in depth investigation by scientists determined to pursue it.
So why am I putting forth this issue for you to consider? It's because,
in my opinion, the Bloop sound is sufficient hard evidence to warrant
our consideration. Further, the examination of the body parts found in
the great white shark, although the physical evidence was confiscated,
it was still documented and sufficient as hard evidence. Likewise, the
fact that the body was confiscated at all and by who, is itself
evidence. Together this alone is powerful stuff no matter the shallow
reactions and characterizations of some or what governments or
military's would prefer to have us believe and prevent us from
considering.
When I was very young, I subscribed for a year to Argosy magazine back
in the 1950s. In one of those issues there was the story of a man who on
the beaches of the world would find stones with pictures recorded in
them of an aquatic race of humans. I have no knowledge as to whether
this was truth of not but it sparked my sense of exploration and it
could possibly be a factor here.
Then long ago I read Thor Heyerdahl's book "Kon-Tiki" in the 1950s about
his and five other's 1947 raft drift experience across the Pacific from
South America to Polynesia. As an avid marine oriented person in
my youth, this form of drifting in a craft of sorts struck me as
excellent for exploration because I knew that those doing it might see
more than they anticipated without the disturbance caused by oars,
paddles, motors, and other noise making devises. Sound is more
pronounced and travels further in the water than in the air.
Sure enough I remember a passage in the book where there were heads of
something unknown rising out of the water at some distance from the raft
during some dark nights looking at them in the raft with those in the
raft getting the distinct impression they were being assessed by
intelligence and getting frightened by that concept. Obviously, this
could fit in with an aquatic people consideration.
It is not my intention here to present this information as definitive or
in a formal investigative report because I just don't have the time for
that kind of in depth investigation here. However, I've elected to put
the basic information on this subject in front of you as a commentary
piece for you to consider and perhaps spark you into taking a look at
this more serious than has been presented in a mere TV show for
entertainment.
I will say this, in case you thought otherwise, we know so very little
about the Earth's deep oceans that constitute at least 60% of the
planet's surface and we have explored less than 2% of this entire under
sea realm. In other words it is true that, although we know very little
about the Moon, we know more about the Moon than we do of Earth's deep
oceans. Remember as well that new life more alien to us than our
imaginations can anticipate is discovered in them with every dive.
If this evidence does represent the presence here in Earth's oceans of
an intelligent aquatic people who have managed to avoid contact with us
for so long in such a severe environment, I agree with some of the
former NOAA scientists. I say that we leave these people alone, live in
peace with them, and try our best to protect them not only from those
who mean them harm but from ourselves and from those who would hunt them
to gain personal or social credit. Just leave them alone.
Also, might it be possible that, just as UFOs appear to be fascinated
with and monitor Earth humanity on the surface of this planet, could it
be that they (USOs) do the same with who ever or what ever may be in our
deep oceans? I can only wonder if someone like Paul Watson or
influential others among the Sea Shepherds fighting for whale survival
(whale wars) and others in the Greenpeace organization involved in the
southern sea off the coasts of Antarctica know more than they are
admitting about this?
Also, might they know more about what ever is being hidden from us in
the satellite imaging of Antarctica continent? Paul contact me and let's
talk. There is future history in the making here for visionaries.
