Machinery doesn't exist that deep, nor would it be able to operate or survive.

I agree that it could be a bomb.
Disturbing fact: there's still an undetonated bomb from 1958 off the coast of Georgia.
You ever watch a firecracker go off in a large body of water?
An air pocket forms for just a millisecond from the water being displaced by gas and suddenly collapses again.
It makes a large bubble, resulting in a "bloop" sound.
Make that firecracker 5,000,000 times stronger, and take into consideration that all sounds are louder and travel further underwater, AND that it was miles under the ocean, and the explosion was stifled by the water pressure, so that's why no earthquakes or tsunamis followed, and you might have an answer.

BUT
There's one problem
...Okay, two

The bloop was recorded nowhere NEAR Georgia. In fact, it was in the ocean on the other side of the world, the Pacific. It was, however, recorded right next to where H.P. Lovecraft said R'lyeh was located (a fictional location from "The Call of Cthulhu"

Wouldn't the contents inside a bomb disintegrate or become corroded within a few years?

While the possibility of it being an iceberg or a bomb is still plausible, don't you think that's an odd spot for either objects to be located? Look at where The Bloop took place in Danbob's post. Really look at it. Isn't that a somewhat odd place for an iceberg or bomb to be? While the event occurred close the the South, near Antarctica, it seems a bit too far away, in a warmer area. While an iceberg could have drifted this far, that seems like a bit of a stretch.

If it was a bomb, then that's sort of an out-of-place area for it to be located. While there may be bombs still around in the Pacific, wouldn't they be located North, not South?

You are absolutely correct, which brings us back to the subject of SCP-169 being the cause of this. The world's governments could cover up the fact that an organism this massive exists, and if this is true, imagine what other secrets our governments are keeping from the public. The posssibilities could be endless. Secret government technologies that can survive the depths of the oceans, high powered explosives at a secret testing site in the ocean, reality benders. I may be getting carried away, but just think of the possibilities...

Can I stop for a minute and say:

I just love the fact that there's a loud noise that was made in the middle of an ocean that hasn't been looked into since 1997 and is still unsolved. Just wanted to throw that out there. In other news, I found an artist's depiction of what the bloop may look like if it was an animal. It shows how large the creature would have to be compared to the world's (already) loudest and largest mammal to make that sound. To be honest, with 95% of all the ocean unexplored any deeper than a mile or so, this seems the most likely scenario to me.

I mean look at this shit
The blue whale is at least 1/5 its size!

Still think it's the Leviathan. Even with the size of the creature in the artist's depiction, it would still need to be MUCH bigger.
