Sycamore Knoll: Malibu’s Subsea Feature Sparks Debate on Natural vs. Artificial Origins

To the point

An oval underwater feature off Malibu near Point Dume, roughly 2,000 feet below the surface and nearly 3 miles long, is most likely a natural continental-shelf formation such as a thrust fault or slope failure rather than a man-made base, a view echoed by geologist David Schwartz and Egyptologist John Anthony West, while FBI agent Ben Hansen warns that Google Earth images can be patchy and only direct camera exploration could prove it, leaving Sycamore Knoll’s true nature unresolved.
