In the reading, the author presents 3 theories about the cause of quackers which were strange sounds heard occasionally by Russian submarines from 1960s until 1980s. However, finding all theories questionable and unconvincing, the lecturer totally repudiates them and presents some evidence to the contrary.
At first, the author argues that the odd sounds were actually related to orca whales during their mate ritual. This species makes a lot of sounds when trying to attract opposite gender. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that orca whales live near the surface of the water. Owing to the fact that the quackers heard from deep part of the oceans, they could not have been made by orca whales. In addition, had orca been made these odd noises the submarines' sonar could have detected them.
In addition, the reading passage holds the view that giant squid might have been responsible for quackers. That being said, the lecturer disputes this explanation by clarifying the fact that quackers were only heard from 1960s until 1980s but giant squids always have lived in the oceans until today. If they were the cause of the sounds, we would also hear them today.
Finally, the author draws attention to secret submarine's technology used by foreign countries as the last prospective cause for the quackers. Yet again, the lecturer dismisses it by pointing out that quackers were moving with great speed but submarines could not have moved so quickly. The technology has not advanced enough to manufacture submarines which can move so fast and so silent.
