The Bloop
In the summer of 1997, the Unites States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) detected an ultra-low frequency underwater sound originating off the South American southwest coast. This sound, named The Bloop, was heard a number of times and was loud enough to be heard up to 3,000 miles away. Although analysis of the sound determined that it was likely biological in origin, there is no known animal capable of emitting a sound of such intensity. The animal would have to be larger than the Blue Whale, the largest animal believed to have ever existed. The source of the sound remains unknown, but some speculate that the culprit is a many tentacled giant squid while others say it is Cthulhu. What do you think?

Your pronunciation is not accurate..."kə-THOO-loo" is actually only the closest that a human voice can mimic the fearsome Cthulhu's name.
