Tuning in to a deep sea monster
CNN, 2002. CNN.com, 13 June 2002.
Summary of a New Scientist report (David Wolman, "Calls from the deep", June 2002). Says the Bloop was heard by Navy SOSUS sensors 3,000 miles apart; floats a giant-squid idea; quotes Phil Lobel of Boston University doubting cephalopods but favouring a biological source; quotes Fox that sounds named Train, Whistle, Slowdown and Upsweep are mostly explained and that Upsweep was tracked to an undersea South Pacific volcano.
What it's used for here
The origin of the "unknown animal" reading in the press, and a contemporary claim about Upsweep.
