A whale fart almost started a war out at sea.

The British Navy, was out at sea when they were scanning for sounds of enemy activity underwater, and then they heard something going off, and was to be believed Russian drone subs. This was the same sound heard at least twice, so they were on the lookout.

According to The Daily Guardian the British Navy thought Russia was dropping listening devices on the ocean floor to track Britain's nuclear subs. Nope!

It's not the first time, something like this has happened and they were mistaken for enemy subs before.  A source in the military said they're still studying the data and "taking it very seriously."  But they currently think it was just a gassy whale and nothing else.

Gotts' Thoughts On The Whale Fart

I am very grateful that it was just a whale fart and nothing like a Russian drone sub. My opinion would be instead of the British Navy just scanning for sounds, maybe an upgrade on picking up smells too. I don't want a job though, because if it is setting off a scanner just for sounds can you imagine what that smell would do? That might knock you back a bit and maybe do some damage to the nostrils.

I had to deal with animal farts before and almost passed out. I can't imagine a whale fart, you ever see what they eat not to mention they are huge. I'm sure when they pass gas it would be like an underwater Earthquake.
