Florida’s mystery bass rumble may be sound of frisky fish mating
Crazy Strange Days podcast presents your Crazy Strange News Bite of the Day. Episode forty four explorers say they think they found Amelia Earhart's long lost plane. Groundbreaking aviator Amelia Earhart's tragic and mysterious disappearance while flying over the Pacific Ocean has captivated the world for nearly eighty seven years, spurring on countless investigations and expeditions for answers on what happened to the beloved pilot. In most recent group to join the search, a team of underwater archaeologist and marine robotics experts with Deep Sea Vision, an ocean exploration company based in Charleston, South Carolina, says it may have found a clue that could bring some closure to Earhart's story. By using sonar imaging, a tool for mapping the ocean floor that uses sound waves to measure the distance from the seabed to the surface, the group has spotted an anomaly in the Pacific Ocean more than sixteen thousand feet underwater that resembles a small aircraft. The team believes that anomaly could be a Lockheed ten dash E Elektra, the ten passenger plane that Earhart was piloting when she went missing while attempting to fly around the world. Deep Sea Vision announced the fine through an Instagram post on Saturday, January twenty seventh. Some people call it one of the greatest mysteries of all time. I think it actually is the greatest mystery of all times, said CEO the company CEO Tony Romero, a pilot and former US Air Force intelligence officer. We have an opportunity to bring closure to one of the greatest American stories ever. The imagery was taken roughly one hundred miles away from Holland Island, Romeo said, the next spot where Amelia Earhart had and excuse me, and navigator Fred Noonan were expected to land. Following their last takeoff from Le Papa, New Guinea. The pair was declared lost at sea after an extra sense of sixteen day search conducted by the US government. Deep Sea Vision scanned more than fivey two hundred square miles of the ocean floor using it Advanced Autonomous Underwater Vehicle a UV known as HUGEN six thousand, which maps the seabed using sonar technology. The company's expedition began in early September twenty twenty three and ended in December, Romeo told CNN Romeo hopes to return to the site within the year to get further confirmation that the anomaly is a plane, which would most likely involve the use of a ROV remotely operated vehicle with a camera that would allow the object to be investigated more closely. The team would also look into the possibility of bringing their fine to the surface. He says, while it is possible that this could be a plane in maybe even Amelia's plane, it is too premature to say that definitively. It could also be noise in the sonar data, something geologic, or some other plane. That being said, if I was searching for Amelia's plane and had this target in the data set, I would want to interrogate it further. A twenty seventeen History Channel documentary proposed a theory that Earhart and Noonan had crashed in the Marshall Islands, about one thousand miles away from Holland Island. There they were captured and taken to Saipan Island, held hostage, and eventually died. Every was based off a photo from the US National Archives that featured several blurry figures. Investigators claimed the aviator and her plane were in the image. The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery theorized in two thousany sixteen that Earhart and Nounan survived of rough landing on a reef in the Pacific Ocean, but later died as castaways when the pair could not radio for help. The team claimed that a skeleton of a castaway found on an island in nineteen forty had matched with Earhart's height and ethnic origin. The most widely believed theory, held by the US government and the Smithsonian is that Earhart and Noonan crashed into the Pacific Ocean near Holland Island when the plane ran out of fuel. The new sonar image of the proposed missing aircraft is of particular interest because of themily's proximity to Holland Ice Island, said Dorothy Cochran, a curator for General Aviation in the Aeronautics Department of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. In Earhart's last communications, her radio transmissions progressively got stronger as she got closer to Holland Island, indicating that she was nearing the island before she disappeared. However, the plane shaped object found by deep sea vision lacks certain features of Earhart's Lockheed Electra, such as the twin engines. According to David Jordan, the co founder and president of Nauticos, a deep ocean exploration company that has conducted search operations for the lost aircraft themselves, it is impossible to identify anything from a sonar image alone, as sound can be tricky in the artifact could be damaged in unpredictable ways, altering its shape. For that reason, you can never say that something is or isn't from a sonar image alone. Confirming that the newly discovered anomaly is Earhart's plane would require returning to the site to further investigate the plane, and more definitively locating the certification in R one sixty twenty that was printed on the underside of the missing Lockheed's wing. Jordan said if the plane were to be uncovered at such depth in the ocean, where the temperatures are very cold and with low oxygen content, the plane could be very well preserved. Earhart was kind of the rock star of the era, like Taylor's Swift of the era. Everybody's pulling for her. They want her to make it around the world, and she disappears without a trace. Cochrane said, it's the mystery of the twentieth century and now into the twenty first century. Next up, mystery bass rumble, maybe sound of frisky fish mating. Scientists investigating strange noise in Tampa neighborhoods says penetrating sound of black drum fish calls maybe to blame Ooh mysteries. A strange noise that for years has been bothering residents of Florida could actually be the sound of fish mating loudly. Residents of a neighborhood in Tampa, Florida, have been frustrated by a mysterious base sound in their surroundings, The Washington Post reported, and they have learned the mating process for black drum fish, a species living off the Atlantic coast. Now someone needs to fact check that because Tampa is on the Golf of Mexico. So, I mean, I guess that's possible, But I thought they would say Golf of Mexico, I don't know, could be responsible for all the racket. According to a local scientist who was enlisted to find the sound source, The Post reported, this is a pretty uncommon phenomenon. Scientist James le Cassio said to the Post, all these people are surprised by it because it's not well known. The deep sound, sometimes accompanied by a low vibration, has bothered neighbors since twenty twenty one and triggered noise complaints to local police. WTVT reported four years local residents were unable to pinpoint what was the cause of the noise, with some theorizing that a party boat, secret military base, or even aliens were to blame. The intermediate noise ultimately bothered neighbors so much that they reached out to Lacasio, who agreed to help if residents could cover the cost of recording equipment for the investigation. It seems it seemed a little bit silly for me to pursue this so doggedly, Sarah Healey, the fundraisers organizer, said to the Post. But on the other level, this is something that's important to the community. With the money raised, Lacassio, who works as a fisheries program manager for the Monte Marine Laboratory in and Aquarium in Sarasota, Florida, plans to place microphones underwater to determine exactly where the sound is coming from. Lacasio told WTVT that the mating sound of the black drumfish travels through the ground, explaining how residents living miles from the water can still hear it. Black drumfish produce the base like sound by moving their muscles against their swim bladder. While some neighbors are hesitant to accept his theory, all agree that it has been irritating to not know the source of the sound. You're really spending all this time questioning your sanity. Similar noises have been heard in other coastal cities in Florida. Last year, residents of Punta Gorda, about one hundred miles south of Tampa, reported almost identical vibrations. Their government officials told cons certain residents in a Facebook post that the sound was coming from black drum fish during spawning season. The Miami Herald reported Punta Gorda residents living along canals frequently hear black drum calls in their homes during the spawning season. The facebook post said this is possible because the low frequencies of these calls are able to travel through the ground and into the walls and floors of homes. All right, everyone, that's the show. I know it's it's kind of a slow news day, but I thought i'd shoot these two little articles out to you. Find it interesting, really pulling for Earhart's plan to be found. That'd be that'd be a substantial discovery. Pretty cool. Now, as far as these these bat these base whatever, these what are these black drum fish, I've never heard of this before. It seems to me that this would have been a problem for a very long time, and we're just kind of unless they're they're migrating because of, you know, environmental conditions or something. They did say the Atlantic coast, but put the Gorda and Tamper on the west coast of Florida, which is the Gulf of Mexico. So I don't know, but five star rate and review. I will catch you next time. Until then, I am gown Zo
