What came immediately to my mind when I heard this was that the origin
of the bloop might be ernormous gas bubbles being set free from the
ocean floor given the fact that they are at a very low freqency.
Hopefully not a sign for the progress of the greenhouse effect!!!!
Still the idea of a mysterious critter somewhere out there appeals to me
as well.
