Starting in the 1960s and continuing until the 1980s, sailors in Russian submarines patrolling the North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean would occasionally hear strange sounds. These underwater noises reminded the submarine crews of frog croaks, so they called the sounds "quackers" (from the Russian word for frog sounds). The sources of the sound seemed to be moving with great speed and agility; however, the submarines' sonar (a method of detecting objects underwater) was unable to detect any solid moving objects in the area. There are several theories about what might have caused the odd sounds.
The first theory suggests that the strange noises were actually the calls of male and female orca whales during a courtship ritual. Orca whales are known to inhabit the areas where the submarines were picking up the bizarre noises. Orcas have been studied extensively, and the sounds they make when trying to attract a mate are similar to those that the submarines were detecting.
A second idea is that the sounds were caused by giant squid. Giant squid are giant marine invertebrates that live deep in the ocean and prey on large fish. They are difficult to detect by sonar because they have soft bodies with no skeleton. Not much is known about giant squid behavior, but their complex brains suggest they are intelligent animals. It is possible they have the ability to emit sound, and perhaps they approached the submarines out of curiosity.
A third theory suggests the Russian submarines were picking up stray sounds from some military technology, like another country's submarines that were secretly patrolling the area. Perhaps the foreign submarines did not register on the sonar because they were using a kind of technology specifically designed to make them undetectable by sonar. The strange froglike sounds may have been emitted by the foreign submarines unintentionally.
The reading states that strange sounds would have produced in several ways and provides three reasons of support.The lecturer is challenged the claims made by the author. He explains that none of the theory is convincing and refutes
each of the author's claims.
First of all, The article argues that strange noises are mainly produce by male and female orca
whales during the courtship ritual. Additionally, the article said that where the submarine picking
up the bizarre noises, orca whales liked to live in there. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He says that this argument seems plausible at first a glance but not convincing because
Orcas are live in surface water but submarine stays in deep shallow water. Hence, this argument does not hold any water.
Secondly, the article says that the sounds would be caused by intelligent animals like Giant squid approaches the submarine out of curiosity. The lecturer, however, rebuts this claim that this Gaint squad theory is not convincing because submarine now does not detect any frog-like sound but they continue to produce sound. Furthermore, the lecturer elaborates on this point by bringing up the point that said sound reported in 1960 and this continues for 20 years but disappeared in 1980.on the other hand, Squad also living the ocean. Hence, this argument submits a vague concept.
Finally, The article states that sounds might have produced by the other county's technological advance submarines. The article says that foreign submarine would be used advance technology that's why sonar can not detect any sound. In contrast, the lecturer position is that these sounds can be moving around but sonar can not be able to move around that's why it does not mean that it was submarine sound. Moreover, the lecturer says that almost all submarine has the same mechanical procedure. There are no any submarine that is actually fast and does not produce any sound. so, this is an unconvincing concept.
