Greetings, Surface-Dwellers! Underwater Robot’s Encounter with a Whale

By red pill junkieon

When the crew of the Nautilus Live expedition were operating their ROV (named Hercules) 2000 feet below surface in the Gulf of Mexico, they were surprised to have an unexpected visitor: A sperm whale showing a lot of curiosity toward their mechanical avatar –all part of the customary sub-oceanic hospitality, I guess…

Agnostic gnostic, walking conundrum & metaphysical oxymoron (with emphasis in the 'moron' part), the mysterious RPJ leaves a double life: By day he serves as Grand Master of the International Sacred Order of Lucha Libre, but at night he pursues his life-long study of everything considered mysterious and/or 'paranormal' --a term he personally detests... When he's not exploring the web looking for his daily fix of Forteana, he can be found blogging, doodling, fooling around and offering his services as news administrator and writer at The Daily Grail. He also regularly participates in other websites and podcasts like Radio Misterioso and Where Did the Road Go? He impatiently awaits for the return of the mothership in Mexico City. absurdbydesign.com

  1. Deep sea Underwater Robot
    I suspect the Deep Sea Underwater Robot would be of limited use in Loch Ness simply because the deep waters of the loch are very peaty and visibility is limited. This has hampered numerous attempts to spot a beasty in the Loch.

  2. that moment when…
    your life, your job, everything is worth it. If I was on that team, I wouldn’t be able to speak and I would need a box of tissues for all the tears streaming down my face. A beautiful moment, but when the scientist said “The super sampler isssssDaheck is that?!” I LOLed 🙂

      That must be awesome for a scientist, right? Those rare moments when Nature catches you completely off-guard, and you experience that sense of magical wonder; the same wonder that made you seek a career in Science in the first place, before you were worried with freaking ‘super samples’ 😉
