Off the coast of Malibu, Southern California, lies a mysterious underwater formation known as Sycamore Knoll and it has captivated public imagination. The structure has long been a subject of scientists’ interest, mostly for the conspiracy theories surrounding it. Its possible extraterrestrial origins have also contributed to the speculations. Found approximately 6.6 miles off the coast of Malibu, the formation appears as a raised bump on the ocean floor with a plane, horizontal top.
According to the Daily Mail, the detailed view of Sycamore Knoll was first showcased in 2014 by Google Earth imagery, capturing the public’s attention for its intriguing formation. Located at about 2,000 feet below the surface, the coordinates for its placement are 34° 1’23.31″N 118° 59’45.64″W. Moving forward to 2025, the formation now appears blur, with some even speculating that it has been wiped off, further raising speculations about its mysterious origin. A section of people also believes that the incomplete data could also be the reason for its blurred impression.
While scientists have been studying the structure for years, recent claims by conspiracy theorists also hinted that it might be an underwater ‘alien base.’
One Redditor shared a post about Sycamore Knoll earlier this year, writing, “Some refer to it as an anomaly while others believe it is an alien base. It’s believed to be between two-and-a-half and three miles wide.”
Known for the past several decades, Sycamore Knoll stole attention only in 2014 after some Google Earth images suggested it resembled an artificial or alien base. Later, the structure also made it to the ‘Fade to Black’ podcast with Host Jimmy Church, describing it as “the biggest centre of UFO activity since Roswell,” as reported by the outlet.
Congressman Tim Burchett also entered the pictures, adding to these claims. He revealed having been told about an underwater UFO “as large as a football field, moving at hundreds of miles per hour.”
The conspiracy theories grew stronger after a California resident also confirmed having seen a glowing structure above the site. As per the publication, he said, “It looked like a massive, cathedral-shaped structure — multiple pointed edges all glowing brilliantly white, heading straight into the ocean. There was no splash, no sound… just a flash, and it was gone.”
The renewed interest on Sycamore Knoll comes on the heels of a new release by Jeremy Corbell, known for covering military-documented UFOs, the outlet reported. According to Corbell, the object is similar to those discovered in the famous 2004 Nimitz and 2019 Navy UAP encounters, all within the same area where Sycamore Knoll were discovered.
