These hydrophones placed thousands of miles apart, picked up the same sound, indicating that whatever created it had to be incredibly powerful.

The discovery sent shockwaves through both the scientific community and the general public. NOAA described the Bloop as an “ultra-low-frequency and extremely powerful…
