The Bloop

Back in the 90s, (I think it was in 1997) the N.O.A.A. program recorded a mysterious, very loud and low-frequency sound in the middle of the south Pacific Ocean. When researchers examined the recording, they found that when it's sped up 16X, the recording played what sounded like a bloop and then two taps, but when slowed down to normal speed it played a low, hum-roaring-groaning sound, like a whale and a monster mixed together. Because of how its sounds when sped up, their unknown discovery underwater has ever since been dubbed, the "bloop".
Researchers believe that whatever it was they found down there it must be an unknown, undiscovered, large mammal lurking in the deepest parts of the ocean. Others suspected that it was really caused by the melting glaciers of the polar ice caps in the Antarctic... or is it?

After all, we know very little about what the ocean is really like, and we have only explored 10 or so percent underwater. Do other giant sea creatures like the Kraken and other folk-lore sea monsters really exist? Who knows? The remaining 90% of all of Earth's oceans remains a mystery...

Anyways, this is my recreation of the first depiction of what the Bloop would look like when it was first posted on the internet back in the early 2000's.
