Summary

For centuries, unusual sounds have been reported throughout the world. From the quaking "Ton der Dove-Bai" reported in Greenland to the mysterious "Bloop" recorded by NOAA in the 1990s, odd sounds of unexplained origin have captured our imagination and hinted at phenomena in our world that continue to evade us in modern times.

Arguably, one of the strangest unexplained acoustic phenomena ever reported involves the mysterious "Quackers" encountered by Soviet submarine crews during the Cold War. Did these deep sea anomalies represent Soviet USO encounters, mysterious deep-sea animals, an experimental U.S. technology, or something else entirely? This week, we go in search of answers to these questions on The Micah Hanks Program.
