  1. In 1997, "New Scientist" magazine reported the detection by  U.S. Navy "spy" sensors (3,000 miles apart) of a strange, unidentified sound: "Bloop.''  

    The system picking up the "Bloop" and other strange noises from the deep are military relics of the Cold War.  In the 1960s, the U.S. Navy set up an array of underwater microphones, or hydrophones, around the globe to track Soviet submarines. The listening stations lie hundreds of metres below the ocean surface, at a depth where sound waves become trapped in a layer of water known as the "deep sound channel''. In these channels, temperature and pressure cause sound waves to keep travelling without being scattered by the ocean surface or bottom.

    Most of the sounds detected emanate from whales, ships or earthquakes, but some very low frequency noises have proved puzzling.

    Several scientists believe many of these sounds can be explained by ocean currents, volcanic activity, or the movement of Antarctic ice.  And while the "Bloop" bears the varying frequency hallmark of marine animals, it is far more powerful than the calls made by any creature known on Earth.  Thus, the "Bloop" had to be much louder than any recognized animal noise, including that produced by the largest whales.

    Another suggestion is that the "Bloop" is coming from giant squid, which live at extreme depths.  Although dead giant squid have been washed up on beaches, and sucker marks have been seen on whales, there has never been a confirmed sighting of one of the elusive cephalopods in the wild. Indeed, the largest dead squid on record measured about 18 metres including the length of its tentacles, but no one knows how big the creatures might grow.  However, Phil Lobel, a marine biologist at Boston University has said that he doubts that giant squid are the source of "Bloop."  He has noted that cephalopods have no gas-filled sac, and they have no way to make that type of noise.

    What is making the "Bloop"?  The sounds that cannot be attributed to other sources have neither been explained nor heard since 1997; but interest persists.  And the "Bloop" remains a mystery.

    Should anyone wish to hear the "Bloop," links at the following site reveal the sound and more information:

    Nicholas D.W., the extent of what I have learned about the "Bloop" phenomenon is contained in the paragraphs above.  Yes, I believe that the "Bloop" sound that cannot otherwise be explained is real; and that the incidents of 1997 and before are true.

  3. From JJ Abrams (the producer): The monster has been sleeping beneath

    the ocean for 1000s of years.

    Tagruato is a corporation that owns many different things.

    Slusho is a sister corporation for Tagruato.

    Slusho is a drink that is sweeping the Asian nation.

    Tidowave is sort of environmental group that is against Tagruato,

    saying that Tagruato pollutes oceans, etc.

    Tagruato has at least one deep sea drilling station.

    Slusho uses Tagruato to deep sea drill for their secret ingredient

    (that they dub “Seabed's Nectar”) to their drink

    Tidowave warns on their website that Slusho is not FDA approved, and

    not to drink it.

    Theory: The secret ingredient is presumably from the monster

    Tagruato’s drilling station (named Chuai) is destroyed. You can see a

    news clip here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=NfTWm1nCgLc. Note: I

    shouldn't have to put this, but for any idiots out there, this news

    clip is obviously made for the viral marketing, and is not actually a

    news clip.

    Tagruato blames Tidowave for the attack, Tidowave denies the attack.

    Theory: Tidowave attacked attacked the drilling station, which woke

    the monster up, and the monster then destroyed the station. OR the

    drilling woke up the monster, and the monster destroyed the station.

    Tidowave speaks of staging an "event" on their website.

    Theory: This could be the destruction of the "oil drilling rig".

    Slusho and "Seabed's Nectar" is approved by the FDA.

    Tagruato owns a subsidiary called Bold Futura. They launched a

    satellite (called the Hatsui satellite) that collects data and takes

    pictures of the ocean (or the ocean bed).

    Theory: The satellite located the monster from which they gained the

    nectar for Slusho.

    The Tagruato website had this posted: “In their latest gesture to

    reach out to fellow man, Tagruato used the Hatsui satellite to try to

    identify a rogue piece that is thought to have fallen off of the

    Japanese Government’s “ChimpanzIII” satellite. Although Hatsui’s work

    has not yet been able to confirm the identity of the fallen piece,

    Tagruato scientists and engineers are busily trying to track and

    recover the fragment. According to Hatsui data, it disappeared into

    the Atlantic Ocean late last week.”

    Theory: This is what is seen in the ending seen from Rob's camera.

    Alternate Theory to drilling/destruction of drilling station woke up

    monster: The crash from the satellite awoke the monster.

    A memo containing financial data for the drilling station was sent as

    an e-mail for people who ordered Slusho products, with the words

    "Americans, No oil here! They must have known before they built- The

    Whistleblower” written at the top.

    (This backs up the theory that the drilling is just a front to get

    nectar from the monster)

    JAMIE & TEDDY STUFF- This is another tie-in to the movie. Site:

    www.jamieandteddy.com (password: jllovesth). The site contains webvids

    from Jamie to her boyfriend Teddy. The following recaps all of the

    webvids.

    Jamie and Teddy know Jason, Lily, and Marlena.

    Jamie and Teddy are dating

    Teddy goes off to do something far away. We aren’t told what

    Jamie makes webvids for Teddy to watch while he's away.

    Teddy sends Jamie a gift, but tells her not to open it until December.

    We learn that Teddy has not called Jamie, and is usually pretty good

    about calling her.

    December rolls around, and Jamie opens the gift. She receives a Slusho

    hat, what seems to be a sample of "Seabed's Nectar", and a message

    from Teddy:

    The message reads: “Jamie, listen to me, alright this is not a joke.

    If you're hearing this before we've spoken, then it means that I've

    been captured by the company called Tagruato. Ok, TAG-RU-ATO. Now

    listen. You, this is important. Don't call the authorities. It'll

    s***w everything up. Just sit tight and wait to hear from Randy. He

    knows to call you. We're on their station ok, and it's like they've

    found something, or they're making something, but the point is, I

    can't, I'm not going to be calling you again. You're not gonna hear

    from me again. I just want you to wait for Randy… he will explain”

    Theory: This implies that Teddy is working for Tidowave.

    Theory: Teddy is on the oil rigging station undercover, but has been

    found out by Tagruato.

    Jamie decides to call Teddy's bluff and calls Tagruato, which denies

    Teddy's affiliation, saying they've never heard of him. Jamie

    immediately gets a call from an unknown number speaking a foreign

    language, who she hangs up on because she can’t understand them.

    Jamie now thinks Teddy is cheating on her for not returning her calls.

    Jamie is angry.

    Jamie eats "Seabed's Nectar".

    Jamie says that the stuff makes her "see everything a lot clearer

    now".

    Jamie cuts the head off a teddy bear to show she is angry at Teddy.

    Transcript from Jamie's last video: "Love you haha, I am finally over

    you and you know what, I feel like a whole new woman and it’s like

    it’s gonna be the first night of the rest of my life and and Lily is

    putting this thing together, and I’m gonna go to it and I don’t know

    why I just soo like I’m like uh the happiest the happiest I’ve ever

    been in my whole life and I don’t know I have like MASSIVE amounts of

    energy I’m gonna have MASSIVE amounts of s*x with Schneider and it’s

    just gonna be great and I just think you should say goodbye to these

    breast (kisses b*****s) cause you’re never gonna see them again and

    look here (slaps butt) I think you’re pathetic."

    Note: Jamie can be seen at Rob’s party passed out on a couch.

    End of Jamie’s webvids.

    Alternate Theory to Seabed's Nectar comes from the monster: Seabed's

    Nectar is what made and\or transformed the monster. This could be

    evidenced by the fact that Jamie has gone crazy and feels powerful,

    etc.

    Tagruato puts out a memo that reads:

    "{TO:} Level 1 Temporary Provision Staff Member

    {FROM:} Judgement Council

    {SUBJECT: Trusting Those Out of Our Sight}

    {DATE:}11/24/2007

    Effective Immediately!

    Over the next few days, because of the incident that took place,

    starting now all letters to the outside will first

    pass through our communication center, or they will not go out. Level

    1 Personnel? They will remain where they are,

    making certain to read the message from start to finish. (How will

    they know it is authentic, this message that is

    dispatched everywhere? When it is inscribed by the ?.)

    In addition, working hard/employment rusted overtime? As for the

    employees, they will be made to wait in their

    appointed lodging facility until told otherwise.

    If one witnesses an act of misconduct, and neglects to report it to

    the Council, Chuai’s department bureau will enforce

    principles and regard it as a violation. There will be no exceptions."

    The back reads" Americans,

    The Chuai station hides a dark secret. Good people are going missing.

    Expect further communication in the near future. - the Whistle Blower"

    Theory: The incident is the discovery of Teddy as a double agent for

    Tidowave.

    Theory: Teddy is "The Whistleblower" mentioned earlier

    ______________________________________...

    A comment on the Slusho website says simply "BLOOP!". This is possibly

    a reference to the "BLOOP!" incident of 1997 in which the US detected

    an ultra-low frequency in the ocean. According to the NOAA (National

    Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) description, it "rises rapidly

    in frequency over about one minute and was of sufficient amplitude to

    be heard on multiple sensors, at a range of over 5,000 km." Though it

    matches the audio profile of a living creature, there is no known

    animal that could have produced the sound. If it is an animal, it

    would have to be, reportedly, much larger than even a Blue Whale,

    according to scientists who have studied the phenomenon

    no -----I dont believe...it was kind of like the blair witch projext
