On the morning of November 11, just before 9:30 UT, a mysterious rumble rolled around the world.
The seismic waves began roughly 15 miles off the shores of Mayotte, a French island sandwiched between Africa and the northern tip of Madagascar. The waves buzzed across Africa, ringing sensors in Zambia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. They traversed vast oceans, humming across Chile, New Zealand, Canada, and even Hawaii nearly 11,000 miles away.
These waves didn't just zip by; they rang for more than 20 minutes. And yet, it seems, no human felt them.
Only one person noticed the odd signal on the U.S. Geological Survey's real-time seismogram displays. An earthquake enthusiast who uses the handle @matarikipax saw the curious zigzags and posted images of them to Twitter. That small action kicked off another ripple of sorts, as researchers around the world attempted to suss out the source of the waves. Was it a meteor strike? A submarine volcano eruption? An ancient sea monster rising from the deep?
“I don't think I've seen anything like it,” says Göran Ekström, a seismologist at Columbia University who specializes in unusual earthquakes.

OVID. METAMORPHOSIS
“... “Causing all things to shake with her mighty trembling, she (the Earth) sank back a little lower than her wonted place…..”
Fatastic. The Rift Valley, I have been inb it, and it is HUGE.
At the time I Knew it was expanding but I did then know that the whole planet is expanding. We live on a growing gurl~!
After watching that video, my favorite slogan has become : “ THERE IS NO SUBDUCTION.”
This will drive earthquake predictors bonkers. Well California already is, no loss there.
New Deep-Sea Vents and Volcanic Activity Discovered in the Mariana Back-Arc
Subduction is a myth. With this data, one could actually measure the Earth’s rate of expansion. I am very curious how much the Earth expands each year.
I recall watching a show on TV about how they follow whales and stuff using the microphone system in the ocean, formerly used to track submarines.
The guy would play a noise, and say this is a Blue Whale off the coast of California, this is an Orca off of Vancouver island.
The last one they played sounded part organic, part electronic. Could have been something from an old Star Trek episode with a space monster. Sent shivers up my spine when I heard it. Then the guy (a scientist/biologist) said:
“This is in the Marianas Trench at a depth of xx,000 feet. We have no idea what it is.”
I’ve tried looking for it on the net - but no luck.
