As you say, the Navy probably triangulated the damn thing in a week or less. I was already on my final shore duty, so I didn't hear the thing. Most of the article is behind a pay wall, what was the "bloop?" Inquireing retired sonar techs want to know.
Yup. Between SOSUS and TASS tails the location would not have been difficult to compute. Back in '67 a navy ship with a tail was able to hear and locate an underwater asset leaving a naval base in Scotland from 1000+ miles away.
I worked with the [classified] hydrophone network for a few years in my career. We went all over the North Atlantic & Northern Pacific. Knowing what I do, I do NOT believe it wasn't promptly triangulated & identified. I'm puzzled as to why the info hasn't come out by now.
It's like all those archeological "religious artifacts" that show up because the archeologists don't bother to ask craftsmen, or even locals what it might be...There are so many things that people go, "oh, it's used for this, I have one in my barn", if they had bothered. It's that insular - only we are smart enough to know something because we have this very expensive degree - how could a farmer know anything? attitudes.
Re: Harry Truman, in his retirement his house was on an Independence street corner about 20-30 feet back from the sidewalk. He was quite often in a chair on the porch or puttering around with the landscaping, and he loved chatting with the public. My brother worked for the gas company and while they serviced a line in the street, Harry strolled over and discussed everything from soup to nuts.
I cannot imagine Barack Obama caring a fig about what an ordinary person thinks about anything.
Have you seen the Truman house? It’s worth the stop if you are ever near Kansas City. Walking through the kitchen, the only difference I could tell between it and my grandma’s kitchen was that grandma had a big chest freezer in hers. (Full of freezer pops for the grandkids, too…)
I’ve never gone through it but I’ve seen the exterior many many times. Used to have family nearby but not for a long time, but if I get back that way I’ll certainly do it.
I didn't follow all of the technical stuff but at this time of my life I know you gain so much more from those who actually know what they are doing then experts.
I'm intrigued by the bloop but the opportunity to backtrail it seems to have passed. But regarding the Lightbearer Tom Kratman had found this article. https://x.com/TKratman/status/2068478500944699461

:-) I know nozzink...
Geez. I am not an oceanographer nor was I in the Navy, and arrival time ranging was just about the first thing I thought of.
Then again, we watched "Battleship" recently so perhaps I was primed.
We did stuff like that in junior high science class as part of the geology/hydrology unit in the 1980s

Probably because the Navy did it and either their result was 'poo-poo'd' by the academics, or they didn't want to 'reveal' any 'secrets'.
Both... Duke is partially right, but there were 'other' players too.

He probably would view the conversation as beneath him in the first place.
Remember the "sitdown" thing with the policeman he impugned?
Speaking for the Naval Services, the only reason anyone would follow Obama is out of curiosity. Eastwood was spot on with his “empty suit” remarks.
