Google Earth's Hidden Underwater Features: Censorship, Data Distortion, and the Malibu-UFO Narrative
To the point
People claim Google Earth sometimes shows underwater features that don’t exist, citing Robert Stanley and others about artificial formations like Winslow Reef off Malibu and a Malibu UFO base, with 2016 removals raising questions about censorship or selective data sharing by the Navy and NOAA, while noting distortions from vertical scanning, map tilts, currents and turbidity and linking the discussion to UFO/USO lore around Point Mugu alongside figures such as Jimmy Church, Maxwell, Dale Romero, Cahokia and Robert M. Schock and institutions like the US Navy, NOAA and the Scripps Institute.
