Starting in the 1960s and continuing until the 1980s, sailors in Russian submarines patrolling the North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean would occasionally hear strange sounds. These underwater noises reminded the submarine crews of frog croaks, so they called the sounds “quackers” (from the Russian word for frog sounds). The sources of the sound seemed to be moving with great speed and agility; however, the submarines’ sonar (a method of detecting objects underwater) was unable to detect any solid moving objects in the area. There are several theories about what might have caused the odd sounds.
The first theory suggests that the strange noises were actually the calls of male and female ocra whales during a courtship ritual. Orca whales are known to inhabit the areas where the submarines were picking up the bizarre noises. Orcas have been studied extensively, and the sounds they make when trying to attract a male are similar to those that the submarines were detecting.
A second idea is that the sounds were caused by giant squid. Giant squids are gaint marine invertebrates that live deep in the ocean and prey on large fish. They are difficult to detect by sonar because they have soft bodies with no skeleton. Not much is known about giant squid behavior, but their complex brains suggest they are intelligent animals. It is possible they have the ability to emit sound, and perhaps they approached the submarines out of curiosity.
A third theory suggests the Russian submarines were picking up stray sounds from some military technology, like another country’s submarines that were secretly patrolling the area. Perhaps the foreign submarines did not register on sonar because they were using a kind of technology specifically designed to make them undetectable by sonar. The strange froglike sounds may have been emitted by the foreign submarines unintentionally.

The reading states that there are three theories that might be the cause of the sound that the Russian submarine detected deep in the North Atlantic Ocean. However, the professor casts doubt on these theories and says there are many problems associated with each of them.
First of all, the article posits that the source of the sound might come from calls that male of orca does to attract female orca. Conversely, the lecturer refutes this claim by saying that this theory might be possible at first, but orcas use to live near the surface not deep in the ocean. Therefore, the sound that the submarine detected deep in the ocean is not for orcas male calling.
Secondly, the author mentions that giant squad is the source of sound that the Russian submarine found. On the other hand, the professor debunks this theory by demonstrating that the sound was disappeared in 1980 and there are no any evidences that the giant squad disappeared at this period as well. This kind of animals have always been living in this area of the ocean. As a result, the professor argues about that the sound came from these animals.
Last but not least, the reading states that the sound might be for another submarine that came from another country secretly. This submarine had kind of technology that allowed it to be hidden. The lecturer opposes this theory by saying that there are no any technologies in the world that make submarine to move very fast and salient like this.
