Thread: The Bloop: An animal larger then a blue whale.

    Default The Bloop: An animal larger then a blue whale.

    This sound was recorded by NOAA and was picked up by microphones 3000 fucking miles apart. Scientists determined it was organic/living sound. But for it to be so large and capabale of traveling 3000 miles the creature had to be larger then anything known to us now.

    Up to thirty-something meters or a hundred-something feet, I think. Bigger than megalodons.

    yeah, I know megalodon was considerably smaller than blue whales. I was just wondering how big they were to get an idea of size.
    megalodon sure was bad ass though.

    They used to be close to 100 feet in length, but I don't believe any of that size have been recorded for many years. Females as long as 90 feet and males as long as 80 are sighted still I think, but their species certainly qualifies as "endangered."

    As for this "Bloop"... I'm holding out faint hope for its generator to be something of Lovecraftian description, if not Great Cthulu himself!

    If megalodons were still around, I don't think any human would ever go swimming in the water.....

    You and me both. I check Bloop Watch pretty frequently, although they almost never update anymore.

    Iunno, the proportions seem wrong. Great whites are perfect for tearing up barely dressed swimmer girls; if you get much bigger than that they'll be swallowing them whole and the gore will be ruined, or at least impractically removed from sight.

    I guess the bible was right after all.

    Iunno; as fictional paralels go, it fits C'thulu better than Leviathan. Lovecraft pegged the location, apparently, and Leviathan's supposed to have been pwned by Jesus' great big sword.

    Leviathan from the Illuminatus! trilogy was supposed to be a giant pyramidal creature with tentacles, and a giant single eye... I'm hoping the Bloop looks like that.
