Stranger Sounds Summary

The article and the professor offer two differing views about the sources of stranger sounds called Quakers detected by the Russian submarines in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans. While, the author lists the possible theories behind those sounds, the professor raises the doubts and refutes each of the theory being stated in the passage.

First, according to the reading passage the sounds were detected were produced by the okra whales during a courtship ritual and those sounds were captured by the submarines. The professor refutes this point and says that the okra whales always occupy the surface waters, whereas the Sub Marines located deep in the water, and it's merely impossible for the submarines to capture those sounds.

Second, the

lecturer casts doubt on the theory that is the sounds were made by the giant squid. She explains that the Russian submarines detected sounds in the 1960's and for two decades they were able to capture those sounds and after that those were vanished. However, the Giant squid from then to now still it exists if the sounds made by the Giant squid then supposedly those sounds should persist and there is no sign of any Quaker sound so that theory is wrong.
