“Bloop”

Written and narrated by Rob Dircks

Please leave a message at the tone.

Hey. I had to share this as soon as I found out. Here, take a listen and tell me what you think it is:

~Bloop~

Sounds like nothing, right? Like a sound, like any other sound, that would get lost in the noise if I didn’t isolate it and point it out to you. But it’s not nothing. Oh, it’s the farthest thing from nothing. Here, I’ll play it again, this time slower:

~Bbbllloooooppp~

Still can’t guess?

Don’t feel bad, I couldn’t guess either, until Brook told me.

It’s a radio signal. Originating from somewhere other than Earth.

Yes – we are not alone.
