Bloop: The Deep Sea Mystery That Science Still Can't Explain
In the summer of 1997, a network of U.S. Navy underwater microphones recorded a sound unlike anything ever heard before.
Louder than a blue whale.
Louder than an underwater volcano.
Louder than any known living creature should be capable of producing.
Its origin was traced to one of the most remote places on Earth, deep in the South Pacific, near the mysterious waters surrounding Point Nemo.
And that was only the beginning.
After more than two years of research, Maxim Kern follows a trail through declassified U.S. Navy documents, NOAA recordings, Antarctic expeditions, Soviet military reports, Lake Baikal, Lake Vostok, and some of the most mysterious places hidden beneath the world's oceans.
Along the way, unsettling connections begin to emerge.
A mysterious sound known as the Bloop.
The world's largest underwater listening network.
A DNA sequence discovered beneath two and a half miles of Antarctic ice that matches no known life on Earth.
Combat divers who encountered unexplained humanoid beings beneath Siberia's Lake Baikal.
The forgotten coordinates of H. P. Lovecraft's legendary sunken city of R'lyeh.
Coincidences...
Or pieces of a much larger puzzle?
Inside you'll discover:
- The true story behind the mysterious Bloop sound
- The secret SOSUS underwater listening network
- The unexplained mysteries of Antarctica and Lake Vostok
- The strange DNA sample known as w123-10
- The Soviet Baikal diver incident
- Point Nemo and the world's most remote ocean
- Hidden connections between science, history, mythology, and unexplained underwater phenomena
Blending investigative storytelling, oceanography, declassified research, hidden history, marine science, and paranormal mysteries, BLOOP is written as a nonfiction novel for readers fascinated by the unknown.
More than 95 percent of Earth's oceans remain unexplored.
Whatever exists in the darkness below has had millions of years to remain undiscovered.
Some mysteries are eventually explained.
Others only become deeper.
What if the ocean has been trying to tell us something all along?
