Starting in the 1960s and continuing until the 1980s, sailors in Russian submarines patrolling the North Alantic 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 ocra 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 male are similar to those that the submarines were detecting.
A second idea is that the sounds were caused by giant squid. Giant squids are gaint 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 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 explains that there had been some special sound under water between 1960's and 1980's around the north Atlantic and Artic ocean which, the passage names it the"quackers" and give some reason for causes of it. however the lecture casts doubt on this view.
the speaker challenges the reason of reading about the Orca whale was the cause of quackers and explains that they are always on the surface of water while the sound and Russian submarines was in the deep water .furthermore, they could been seen by sonar systems.
the speaker also refutes the reading's claim that the Giant squids was the source of sound and says that Quachers had been in two decades and after that was finished but this creature are alive at today ,so they are not the cause of the sound.
finally the lecturer says that the foreign submarines was not the solution of this mystery ,because this sound had been very fast and it moved in different direction and it was untraceable while the foreign submarines did not the technology of moving fast and going to different direction and untracabitlity .
so the speaker explains that the reading claims is not a correct description of that event.
