So easy answer, the light on the camera and the suction cup being the only point of contact (leading to an increase in drag momentarily, or a physical sensation) both were noticed by the Sperm Whale or their affect. The fleeing or approaching sealife to the light source on the sonar to answer. They tried to image it with their sonar however it was too far back to get a read, and the depth didn’t shake “the squid” so they called their friend at the surface who tried to bump it off and saw it wasn’t a squid. Easy. I mean it’s only logic, they reacted to the initial placement so they felt it

This is what real engineering is about. It’s not about multi-million dollar corporate budgets; it’s about late-night soldering, raw curiosity, and tools that democratize how we see the world.
