The Bloop
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop
Discuss. It seems pretty awesome for me. I found it while searching through cryptzoology creatures (which im very interested and fascinated of, I belive the real big Kraken exist).
Could it possible be the infamoua 40-50 meter long squid? Have we finally wound the Cthulian Hyper Omega Kraken-Squid?
And is Cthulu fiction or a real mythology? I dont understand.

Got no clue on Chtulu-thingy but it could be some undersea monster, or atleast monster by our human terms 
Kraken exists, but how many of it or someting similar is a sub question of it.
Read a book about sea monsters once, there is alot to the truth of it. And besides, since sea creatures don't follow land phyical laws they can become HUUUGE

I already know about Coloss and Giant Squids, but they only become +20 meters in length.
The Krakens are supposed to become over 40 or 50.

You know, since 70% of the world is ocean, and we cannot really go that far below, we really got no clue on the deeps down there and what monsters might be lurking
And besides, new species means someting we have yet to discover or prove the existiance of. Kraken exists.
I am more into the subject of giantic sea serpets

Considering the farthest place we've been down is the plains that only went two miles, who knows what else is down there. The Bloop is definitely not a tectonic crush or somekind of T-Phase, but a living being. Since, in the abyss, life seems completely freeform, it could be anything.
I for one am in favor of the Kraken, but in South America...probably not the] Kraken, but some species of supercolossel encephalopod. Maybe a distant relative of the orca or lobster, since the Leviathan shouldn't exist. Not that it doesn't exist, but it shouldn't.
It might also be (consipirationalists save me) some kind of background noise from an...outside influence.
EDIT Did some searching...the Slow Down may be linked to the Bloop, since the Dopplar effect makes things farther away sound lower. It may be possible the thing that makes the Bloop was traveling and was picked up on Hydrophone. I love cryptozoology. This stuff reminds me of how the Leviathan sounded on Atlantis (the disney movie?) one of my all time favorite movies.

Interesting. Pretty much impossible anything larger then blue whale can live in our reach, though. Maybe at the depths, but don't forget the pressure there. It actually requires a pretty specific body of all marine creatures who live there. Check different deep sea creatures and see a recurring pattern.
Unless it's Cthulhu.

Indeed, the Bloop sounds mechanical and very much like the Leviathan in Atlantis. It freaked me about to hear it on youtube (its real speed).
I dont know where in South America it was, but there are coloss squids around the southpole.
I think Sea Serpents are Oarfish, they can become +18 meter or something like that and look like serpents.

How NOT to be cynical here? You think you and your country are better than us because you all agree that religion stinks, but instead you believe in Kraken, Leviathan and Sea Serpents.
Logic, you make none. 
Maybe I'll write the way you usually do? Just to show you.
"There are no such thing as Krakens or Sea Serpents. In Poland, we got rid of people who believe in such BS totally and completely. I can't believe there are people so dumb in the world to actually believe in such myths".
Feeling good?
Why do I even waste my time. -_-
Anyway, the biggest squids reach 14 meteres of length, and around, if I remember correctly, 600 kg weight. And they can submerge to up to 2500 meters. There is nothing mythological in these creatures.

Have you swam the 6 km to the ocean floor to find out?
To say that absolutely nothing in the all of creation could ever live that far down is highly brash and less than intuitive. If there is one thing that creation has taught us, its that life has infinite possibilities. The creature near deep ocean vents have adapted to live at several atms above normal, so a squid can adapt just the same. Or a crab, or a whale, or a giant oyester for that matter.

But thats not what caused the Bloop or the Slow Down sound phenomena. What makes this so alluring is that according to scientists, no known object can make this sound. If it were tectonic activity, it would be recognizable. If it were some kind of submarine with the echo, that echo would be inaudible or also recognizable. What made this sound can produce a highly low frequency (decimals of hertz), and nothing we know of can do that. So it has to be a new or unnatural occurence.

Well, that's what phenomenology (one of my hobbies) is all about
sith_of_ziost: did you even read WHY I have put that sentence into inverted commas? It was meant to mimic xerox's usual _I_KNOW_ALL_ style of speech. As a hobbyist of phenomenology, I don't think like that.

I couldn't tell the style of quotations dicteated mimicry.
In all due respect, I apologize for the misinterpretation, but I didn't not answer with any distress or satire. I merely stated the obvious, something I am known to do.
@Asheera - I believe I remember that movie, but I don't remember what it was. Alien, Predator, AVP were all in the ice caps, so...

Well, we haven't visited the Big Bang either but we claim we "know" about it...

No, it's teh aliens I tell you.
Sound at such low frequencies is mechanical force.

That's very plausible...It would in no way contradict the wild rumors going around. I think that the ocean would be the perfect place for exterrestrial bases. After all, a place on the planet we can't get to would make perfect sense to me.
