A senior U.S. Navy official has confirmed that an underwater acoustic detection system heard on Sunday what was likely the implosion of the Titan submersible.

ABC News reports the information was immediately shared with the U.S Coast Guard on Sunday and analysis continued afterwards.

The senior official says the U.S. Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost.

They say while not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the Incident Commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission.

According to the official this information was considered with the compilation of additional acoustic data provided by other partners and the decision was made to continue the mission as a search and rescue and make every effort to save the lives on board.

Meanwhile, a U.S. defense official says an analysis of the “banging” noises picked up by sonar buoys were not from the missing submersible but were either natural ocean sounds, biological noises or noises associated with the surface response vessels.
