1 00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:06,800 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,200 In this episode we're talking about Sycamore Knoll, an 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,080 underwater UFO base. That's correct, Sycamore Knoll, 4 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,760 an underwater UFO base. At least that's what some people 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,400 are calling it. It's quite interesting though. 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,400 I found this article over data mail.co.uk written by Stacey 7 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,960 Libertori says dated April 25th, 2025. 8 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,200 Title says mysterious underwater UFO base quote UN quote spotted 9 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,040 just six miles off the West Coast. 10 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,680 A mysterious formation lurking deep in the ocean has been 11 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,480 spotted just a few miles off the coast of Southern California. 12 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,600 Geographically known as Sycamore Knoll, the natural underwater 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,800 structure looks like a bump pushing up from the ocean floor 14 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,720 with the flat table like top. Now you can look at a picture of 15 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,680 this saying they got the the Google Maps images here. 16 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,200 Really neat, very striking. Goes on and says it has been 17 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,480 studied by scientists for years. Though recent claims by oh boy 18 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,080 here we go. Conspiracy theorists have 19 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,600 suggested Sycamore Noel might be an underwater alien base. 20 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,120 Can somebody please get a hold of the Deep state and let them 21 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,360 know that Stacey has got the term conspiracy theorist 22 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,000 injected into the article within the first or I don't know, 4 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,160 sentences. Should be a check in the mail 24 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,240 for that perhaps. A Reddit post from earlier this 25 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,600 year featured a Google Earth image of Sycamore Knoll with the 26 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,640 title Underwater UFO Base between Malibu and Catalina 27 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,760 Island. Now, of course, if you follow 28 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,800 UFO so much, you know, there's been a lot, an awful lot of 29 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,440 activity around Catalina Island. We have the the whole notion 30 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,760 that there were possibly giants that inhabited that island at 31 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,800 one time, that that place has so many stories to it, it's 32 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,800 unbelievable. Some refer to it as an anomaly, 33 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,800 while others believe it is an alien base, a Redditor shared in 34 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,240 another post this year. It's believed to be between 2 35 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,160 1/2 and 3 miles wide. Sycamore Knoll sets about 2000 36 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,840 feet below the surface and is located 6.6 miles off the coast 37 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,760 of Malibu. It is located at geographic 38 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:31,520 coordinates 34 degrees 123.31 N and 118 degrees 5945.64 W. 39 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,600 Well, Google Earth images from 2014 captured detailed views of 40 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,160 the formation. It appears to have been wiped 41 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,720 from the platform as of 2025, adding more mystery about its 42 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,160 origins. Now, that does raise some 43 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,240 questions. Google's pretty terrible about 44 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,720 changing things all the time. It it seems like it'll get 45 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,120 something that's going along quite well. 46 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,640 Or maybe they'll acquire a company that's doing something 47 00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:01,040 just perfectly, and then Google comes along and improves it to 48 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,680 the point where you can't use it anymore. 49 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,560 That's been my experience. Yeah. 50 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,520 You see this image here from I guess 2014, 2015. 51 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,000 It's really like I said, striking. 52 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,640 It looks almost like a plateau shaped feature. 53 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,720 And then you have these very well, they look like pillars. 54 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,320 They could be natural formations, but it really leads 55 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,400 one to question, what exactly is this thing? 56 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,600 Is this some sort of manufactured structure or is 57 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,880 this just a natural feature that's really, really unusual? 58 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,200 Hard to tell, especially when the images on Google disappear 59 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,120 when they become inconvenient. It seems like it goes on down 60 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,440 here. It says Sycamore Knoll sits 61 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,320 about 2000 feet below the surface, and it's located 6.6 62 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,360 miles off the coast of Malibu. It is located at geographic 63 00:03:52,360 --> 00:04:00,280 quarters 34 degrees 123131 N and 118594564 W Yeah, 2000 feet 64 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,200 deep. That's you think about that. 65 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,560 That's really quite deep. The formation, however, can be 66 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,920 seen on other online mapping platforms, such as phishing 67 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,800 charter app Sycamore Knoll has been known for the past several 68 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,680 decades, but gained widespread public attention in 2014 when 69 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,440 Google Earth images led to speculation about its structure, 70 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,600 with some suggesting it resembled an artificial or alien 71 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,280 base. I like the fact that they at 72 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:31,400 least point out here that is this image is still available on 73 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,920 this phishing charter app. You know, I think sometimes we 74 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,920 become far too dependent on one or two sources. 75 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,880 And Google has taken advantage of people's dependence on them 76 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,040 for information, in my opinion. The structure was also featured 77 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,600 on the Fade to Black podcast with host Jimmy Church, who fed 78 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,000 into conspiracies proclaiming it is not natural but rather 79 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000 extraterrestrial. Now, here you go again. 80 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,480 This person has just such AI don't know a nasty little bit 81 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,400 toward conspiracies. And you know, I've watched Jimmy 82 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,400 Church's stuff, find it to be quite entertaining in quite a 83 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,640 bit of the time. But notice the derogatory 84 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,600 language fed into conspiracies. So I suppose asking questions or 85 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,040 just putting out ideas make sure conspiracy theorists. 86 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,800 Now. He speculated that it could be 87 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,200 the biggest center of UFO activity since Roswell, NM, the 88 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,240 Los Angeles Almanac reported. Well, I think he's just having 89 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,160 fun talking about this, just like we're talking about right 90 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,360 now on this podcast. This mean we're this mean that 91 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,040 we're conspiracy theorists. It just means that we're 92 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,640 considering a lot of different possibilities. 93 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,440 The National UFO Reporting Center has received many reports 94 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,320 of mysterious objects flying over the exact area as Sycamore 95 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,120 Noel, with some people saying they spotted craft emerging from 96 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,560 the ocean. This seems to be pretty common 97 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,120 out there, but these underwater submerged objects coming up out 98 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,720 of the ocean like that. It looked like a massive 99 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,320 cathedral shaped structure, multiple pointed edges all 100 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,880 glowing brilliantly white, heading straight into the ocean. 101 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,000 1 California resident reported to the UFO reporting center 102 00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,400 after seeing a mysterious craft in the sky. 103 00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:12,840 There was no splash, no sound, just a flash and it was gone. 104 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,240 It happened so fast, like a giant ship or object vanishing 105 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,080 beneath the surface in an instant. 106 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,440 The X Account Daily UFO, which has over 35,000 followers, 107 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,840 shared a post about Sycamore Knoll in January, noting how 108 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,200 Google Earth previously showed the tabletop formation and now 109 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,480 it is blurred. How convenient. 110 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,080 You just wonder why. Why are they doing that? 111 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,800 And then it has a pretty good I suppose This must be the older 112 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,560 image. Very detailed image here showing 113 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,480 this formation goes on, it says. Some have suggested that the 114 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,640 Google Earth image isn't an actual picture, so there's 115 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,840 nothing to blur, noting that it's a digital markup of data. 116 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,200 Well, that is true. The blur is just a lack of data. 117 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,240 Or maybe it's just data that they've blocked out. 118 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,640 Republican Congressman Tim Burchett also claimed in January 119 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,160 that an Admiral whom he did not identify told him about a UFO 120 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,080 that was moving underwater at remarkable speed. 121 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,840 We've have heard this talked about quite a bit, actually. 122 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,560 Tell me something's moving at hundreds of miles an hour 123 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,600 underwater, as large as a football field underwater. 124 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,520 The Tennessee congressman told former Republican Congressman 125 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,960 Matt Goetz, who now host a show on. 126 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,040 Oh, boy, here we go, right wing news outlet One American News. 127 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,080 So it's OK to have left wing news and that's just considered 128 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,840 news, I suppose. Very, very kind of almost 129 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,360 hateful bent here by this writer. 130 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,560 This was a documented case. And I have an Admiral telling me 131 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,800 this stuff. The renewed attention in 132 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,400 Sycamore Knoll also comes days after a UFO expert who released 133 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,600 a new video this week showing the infamous Tic Tac revealed 134 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,760 bombshell theories about the phenomena. 135 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,200 Jeremy Korbel, an investigative journalist and filmmaker known 136 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,120 for his work with George Knapp on military documented 137 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,880 identified anomalous phenomena. UAP has once again ignited 138 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,400 public debate over UFOs, this time with a newly released 139 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,680 footage captured award that USS Jackson in 2023. 140 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,600 He's got several witnesses coming forward and confirming 141 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,400 that what he has released is actually the real deal. 142 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,240 The we talked about this in the podcast a couple different 143 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,920 times. The video, made public this 144 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,080 month after a multi year verification process, shows what 145 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,600 Korbel and military witnesses described as a self luminous, 146 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,039 wingless tailless craft rising from the Pacific Ocean. 147 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,919 Now, remember, Korbel said that this wasn't just a situation 148 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:40,720 where somebody pulled their smartphone out of their back 149 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,080 pocket and recorded this thing off of a piece of military 150 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,840 equipment. This is actual video recorded on 151 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,640 the machine itself. And that's why he had to get 152 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,520 permission to release it. Even though I don't really 153 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,440 appreciate this back channel way of doing things, it is it is 154 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,560 interesting that he's able to get the stuff out there so we 155 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,360 can at least have a conversation about it. 156 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,320 Now, if you want to, you know, debate whether or not this is 157 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,120 limited hangout, that's a fair question. 158 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,480 But I, I appreciate a lot of the work that George and Jeremy has 159 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,720 done, maybe not always their theatrics, but definitely the 160 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:19,480 guys producing a lot of a lot of content of nothing else and good 161 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,000 content where we do have military folks coming out now 162 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,960 and say, Yep, that that's what it looked like. 163 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,280 I was there. I see it with my own eyes. 164 00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:29,440 And it's been what, a couple years? 165 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,160 But we did finally get the actual video from that military 166 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,320 equipment released to the public. 167 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,280 However we did it, it goes on down, it says. 168 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,960 But Corbell insisted the new footage is far from an isolated 169 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,320 event. Well, obviously it's not. 170 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,320 I mean, you had you had the events Corbec what in 2004 with 171 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,600 the Tic Tacs that we've been talking about now for the last 172 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,560 couple of years. Instead, he said it's a. 173 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,920 It fits a broader and increasingly alarming pattern. 174 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,720 Repeated sightings of intelligently controlled craft 175 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,640 that defy known aerodynamics appear regularly in the same 176 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,800 offshore military training zone and may originate from below the 177 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,160 Ocean's surface. According to Korbel, the 2023 178 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,880 incident echoes two other major military encounters, the 2004 179 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,120 Nimitz sighting and a lesser known but well documented 2019 180 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,280 event in which a swarm of Uap's surrounded 10 Navy warships over 181 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,520 multiple nights. I guess what I do appreciate is 182 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,480 that Krobel has at least come out and attached his name to the 183 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,120 release of this information and stated, hey, I've got permission 184 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,360 to do this. It wasn't. 185 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,480 It wasn't handed up, handed off in a Pentagon parking lot 186 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,920 somewhere between unnamed sources. 187 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,480 At least the new footage, he argued, is not a standalone 188 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,440 revelation. That part of a growing body of 189 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,040 evidence pointing to intelligently controlled craft 190 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,360 capable of trans medium travel moving seamlessly through space, 191 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,240 air and water. You know, I might even include 192 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,960 time on this and other dimensions that have repeatedly 193 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,880 appeared over decades in the same region. 194 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,920 Warning Area 291 off the coast of Southern California. 195 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:12,040 Yeah, the very cool says the 2023 release was supported by a 196 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,440 new military witness, an active duty U.S. 197 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,640 Navy Combat Information Center operator who claims to have seen 198 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,040 the object rise from the ocean with his own eyes. 199 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,120 We went over this testimony in the podcast a couple days ago. 200 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,120 I think Korbel Knapp, known for handling the sensitive 201 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,120 testimonies, vetted the witness and aligned his account with 202 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,480 radar data and FLIR imagery. The native the Navy veteran 203 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,800 tracked the object using the ship's high-powered Sapphire 204 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,200 FLIR thermal targeting system. Radar detected 4 unknown targets 205 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,040 in the area. The two were captured on video. 206 00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:49,520 According to the witnesses, all four Uaps performed in 207 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,720 instantaneous synchronized maneuver, shooting off 208 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,240 simultaneously without visible propulsion, suggesting 209 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,200 intelligent coordination. Well, there's definitely 210 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,160 something going on there, I can tell you that. 211 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,720 Yeah. Very cool stuff. 212 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,480 Let's take a look at this. Let's take a look at this 213 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,320 warning area 291 off the coast of Southern California. 214 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:18,040 Now this warning area 291, or I guess they call it W291, There's 215 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,160 something a little bit new to me. 216 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,520 I'm not sure I really knew about this. 217 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:26,080 I asked ChatGPT and I got the message of whoops, something 218 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,640 went wrong. And I asked it again and I got 219 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,360 the same message, something went wrong. 220 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,600 So luckily we have Grok and I went over there to Elon Musk's 221 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,760 site and ask it and it was a little more chatty. 222 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,560 It says. I asked and I said give me a 223 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:44,440 detailed description explaining warning area 291 off the coast 224 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,280 of Southern California. It says Warning Area 291 or 225 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:56,120 W291, often referred to as W291, is a designated special use 226 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:01,360 airspace or SUA located off the coast of Southern California, 227 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,440 primarily over the Pacific Ocean. 228 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,160 It forms a critical component of the Southern California or Socal 229 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,240 Range complex, which is one of the most significant and heavily 230 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,400 utilized naval training areas in the Eastern Pacific. 231 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,840 And then it says below is a detailed description of W 291 232 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,280 covering its location, purpose, characteristics, management and 233 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,440 associated activities based on available information. 234 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,160 So I guess here we go. It's some kind of a top level 235 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,000 Navy training area, says geographical scope. 236 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:43,720 W 291 spans approximately 113,000 square nautical miles. 237 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,920 Yeah, 387,500 square kilometers of airspace, making it the 238 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,480 largest component of spatial use airspace in the US Navy 239 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,120 inventory. It extends seaward to the 240 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,880 southwest, beginning roughly 12 nautical miles, or 22 clicks off 241 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,280 the southern coast of California and stretching approximately 600 242 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,680 nautical miles offshore. Goodness sake. 243 00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:11,040 So this thing's what, 600 miles by 12 miles? 244 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,040 What a chunk of water coverage? The airspace overlays the ocean 245 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,120 and includes San Clemente Island. 246 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,000 SCIA key Naval training facility with the SoCal Range complex. 247 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,400 The area is situated West of San Diego with estimated coordinates 248 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,000 for certain activities, EG historical sightings around 249 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:39,920 31.7° N by 118.4° W approximately 100 miles West of 250 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,840 San Diego. Boundaries. 251 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,320 While precise boundaries are not publicly detailed and all 252 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,120 sources Well for crying out loud when you want to know it if you 253 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,280 were in the middle of a of a Navy territory. 254 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,080 W 291 is probably a broader complex that extends from Santa 255 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,920 Barbara to Baja California along the coast. 256 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:06,040 It encompasses ocean operating areas or operase OPAREAS and is 257 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:13,320 adjusted to other warning areas such as W 260, W 283, W 285, and 258 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:19,840 W513. Wow Purpose and activities W 291 259 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,400 is primarily used by the US Navy and Marine Corps for a variety 260 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,320 of military training and operational activities designed 261 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,280 to enhance combat readiness in a controlled and safe environment. 262 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,920 The airspace facilitates a realistic combat like scenarios 263 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,000 that are critical for preparing military units for deployment. 264 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,560 Key activities include air combat training, fighter 265 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,880 aircraft conduct air combat maneuvers, air defense 266 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,640 exercises, and air to air missile exercises. 267 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,360 These activities involve high speed military aircraft that 268 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,320 require extensive airspace to operate safely and effective 269 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,440 surface and subsurface operations. 270 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,680 The Socal Range complex, including W 291, supports naval 271 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,320 surface warfare and subsurface activities such as anti 272 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,080 submarine warfare and live fire exercises. 273 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,440 San Clemente Island and its surrounding waters are used for 274 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,680 amphibious training and other surface operations. 275 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:24,440 Goes on it says. Sink Exercises SINKEX SYNCX W 276 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:29,000 291 is a designated area for SYNC exercises where 277 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,000 decommissioned vessels are used as targets for live fire 278 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,600 training to simulate real world naval engagements. 279 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,200 Then we have radar surveillance and data collection 7 radar 280 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,720 sensors provides approximately 20% of W 291 monitoring air, 281 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,360 surface and subsurface activity to minimize the interference and 282 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,280 enhanced safety data on usages collected to support missions 283 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,880 planning and coordination. Then we have search and rescue 284 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,760 SAR Payless facility. FACSFAC San Diego, which matches 285 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,640 W 291, serves as the executive agent for SAR operations in the 286 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,079 Socal and Northern California Nocal operates. 287 00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:16,160 And then it goes on in here. It says Management Oversight, 288 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,640 Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility San Diego 289 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,160 is where it's managed from. Coordinated from San Diego 290 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,960 operational guidelines, activities and W 291 are 291 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,600 governed by the FACSFAC San Diego's Operational Manual 292 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,760 Characteristics and Challenges Airspace classification. 293 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,360 W 291 is classified as a warning area indicating that activities 294 00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:42,560 conducted within it may be hazardous to non participating 295 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,360 aircraft. It extends from the surface to 296 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,680 flight level 500, approximately 50,000 feet and can be activated 297 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,720 for specific periods as noted and notices to airmen. 298 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:59,280 For example, 2023 No Tam indicates W29 1EA sub sector was 299 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,080 active from May 8th to May 9th, 2023. 300 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,720 Now, if there's guys in an area where it's advertised or known 301 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,880 that, hey, don't be flying around here, it could be 302 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,520 dangerous because we got military exercises going on. 303 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,200 To me, that kind of negates the whole whole idea of, well, these 304 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,640 tic tac, tic tac UFOs are nothing more than drones. 305 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,720 If you're flying a drone in the middle of a air combat practice, 306 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,560 I I'd say you probably need to have a good loan talking to you 307 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,560 because who knows what's going on with that situation. 308 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,920 Environmental considerations It says Operations WT 91, 309 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,240 particularly around San Clemente Island, faces environmental 310 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,680 scrutiny due to archaeological and historical sites, wildlife 311 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,200 preservation and natural conservation, and concerns goes 312 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,760 on as encroachment pressures. While WT 91 is less affected by 313 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,840 Civil Aviation routes compared to East Coast ranges, it faces 314 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,520 challenges from Civil Aviation growth, oil exploration and 315 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,400 congested surface areas. Boy, yeah. 316 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,760 So you've got commercial traffic bumping right against this 317 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,480 military training area. The last thing I think we need 318 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,120 is weather balloons and drones flying around unencumbered and 319 00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:14,560 untracked. Usage statistics, high activity 320 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,320 volumes. It says in 2001, FACSAF San 321 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,080 Diego handled 67,531 air operations. 322 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,160 I mean, that's just a ton. Strategic importance of the 323 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,720 Socal Range complex with W 291 as centerpiece supports the 324 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,880 largest concentration of US naval forces globally, 325 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,000 underscoring its critical role in maintaining naval readiness. 326 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,120 So the largest concentration of naval assets we have and right 327 00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:46,480 here seems to be what could be an underwater UFO base. 328 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,760 Might explain why we have all these sightings out there. 329 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,320 Notable incidents and public interest UFO sightings. 330 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,880 Now this is coming from Grok UFO sightings. 331 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,400 W 291 has gained attention due to reported Unidentified Aerial 332 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,920 Phenomena UAP sightings, such as the 2004 USS Nimitz incident, 333 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,400 which occurred in the area. Post on X in April 2025 334 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,000 referenced A UAP sighting and 291 approximately 100 miles 335 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,680 southwest of San Diego, highlighting its use for 336 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,360 sensitive naval activities that may attract public speculation. 337 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,320 These claims remain inconclusive without official confirmation. 338 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,080 I don't expect any confirmation, but at least at least Grok 339 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,920 mentioned it. Mystery booms. 340 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,240 Local reports have linked unexplained booms in San Diego 341 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:38,760 to activities in the West. 291 potential from naval exercises, 342 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,560 though specific causes are often unconfirmed. 343 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,600 So are these Sonic booms or are these some kind of other high 344 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,040 top secret weapon? What's going on with these 345 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,920 booms? Because we hear about these sky 346 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,440 booms happening all over the place. 347 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,920 It says critical analysis. While WT 91 is essential for 348 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,360 National Defense, it's operations which raise questions 349 00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:00,960 about transparency and environmental impact. 350 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,560 The Navy's environmental studies, such as the Southern 351 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,040 California's Range Complex Coastal consistency 352 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,120 determination. It emphasizes efforts to balance 353 00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:12,360 training with conservation, but public access to detailed 354 00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:14,880 operation data is limited. Yet you're just not going to 355 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,560 know because they're going to keep it completely hidden from 356 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,120 you. Conclusion Warning Area 291 is a 357 00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,640 vital military airspace off Southern California, enabling 358 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,880 the US Navy and Marine Corps to conduct extensive training 359 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,080 across air service and subservice domains. 360 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,920 Managed by FAX FAC San Diego, it supports high intensity of 361 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,760 operations within the Socal Range Complex, which spans 362 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,800 120,000 square nautical miles and includes San Clemente 363 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,240 Island. Despite its distance from 364 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,840 civilian air routes, WT 91 faces challenges from environmental 365 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,600 regulations, potential oil exploration, and urban growth. 366 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,680 Its role in the national security, in national security 367 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,880 is undeniable, but public curiosity about its activities, 368 00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:57,120 including UAP sightings, underscores the tensions between 369 00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:59,520 operational secrecy and transparency. 370 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,840 It isn't that something. So it sounds to me like in this 371 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,640 exact area where you're talking about the Sycamore Knoll, where 372 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:12,320 we have what some people think could even be a underwater UFO 373 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:17,920 base, we have this W 291 square Bill points out, which is this 374 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,600 highly used Navy area where they're doing all their war 375 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,280 gaming Atlas sort of thing, highest concentration naval 376 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,800 assets in the world. Really really something I just 377 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,480 want to close up here with a couple of of UFO sightings from 378 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,880 that area that I found over at Newport. 379 00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:39,280 This one's dated 11/19/2003. It says duration 4 to 5 minutes. 380 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,920 Location Catalina Island California shaped triangle 381 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,240 lights on object aircraft nearby huge triangle object with red 382 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,520 with big red pulsating lights. My wife and I were sitting on 383 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,200 the out of our boat, tucking in from the wind and looking at the 384 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,360 sky for shooting stars. It was a mostly clear night with 385 00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:04,520 a few clouds when we noticed a huge object coming from behind 386 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,320 the island, flying from our right east to our left W. 387 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,440 It had large red flashing lights and was in the shape of a 388 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,560 triangle. We could see the mainland and 389 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,440 planes going to and from LAX and Long Beach, which looked so 390 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,600 small in comparison. I would say the object we saw 391 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,120 was many many times larger and silent. 392 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,320 No sound at all. We watched it travel from our 393 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,640 far right to a cloud on the left side of our field of view. 394 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,880 It never emerged from the cloud. We can't explain why, but we 395 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,600 could normally follow planes from one end to the other and 396 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,800 see them inside or behind clouds, depending on the case. 397 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,040 The cloud was thin. Wow, out there in your boat just 398 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,160 chilling, looking up at the sky and seeing this large triangle 399 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,080 UFO. That had to be something. 400 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,120 Now the date on this one is 12/15/1993 says approximate. 401 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,200 It was reported on 2/24/2005. Duration 45 seconds. 402 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,560 Observers 2 Location Laguna Beach CA Shape Oval 1993 403 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,840 Observation of object moving at extreme angles and speed off 404 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,920 Catalina Island. I saw you on TVI have only told 405 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,920 three people of this story I saw. 406 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,400 What I saw is clearly as a laptop I'm looking at right now. 407 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,920 Absolutely no mystery to me. I could careless if people 408 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,320 believe me, but after seeing you I thought a valid sighting was 409 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,200 worth recording with someone. I don't tell anyone about it 410 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,480 because they would think I'm too odd. 411 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,120 My name is This is Emitted. I'm a 41 year old business owner 412 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,240 now living in Santa Barbara, CA. In October 1993, Orange County, 413 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,120 California was ravaged by fires. Hundreds of homes in Laguna 414 00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:53,120 Beach burned to the ground. Approximately 400 hundreds of 415 00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:54,800 other homes burned in the area as well. 416 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,080 Orange County was on fire. I mentioned this because it 417 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,600 seems like a rather insignificant event that may 418 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,720 have caused some interest to something. 419 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,840 We owned a wonderful ocean view home in the exclusive gated 420 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,280 community of Emerald Bay. A home burned down that month, 421 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,440 October 23rd I recall. With all we had left being a lot 422 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,200 full of ash, we would come from our rented home to walk on the 423 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,960 beautiful private beach of Emerald Bay. 424 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,800 On approximately December 15th, 1993, there had been light 425 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,880 rains. At that day, the clouds were 426 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,400 light and very high, but mostly it was clear. 427 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,120 We were walking down the beach for about 15 minutes toward the 428 00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:37,240 North End. The Bay is about one mile long 429 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,880 from end to end. When we walked to the North End, 430 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,320 we turned around and walked back to the center to watch the sun 431 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,960 go down. The visibility was fantastic. 432 00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:49,440 We could clearly see the island of Catalina and beyond. 433 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,600 After the sun actually set over the horizon, we got up and 434 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,280 started to walk back toward a car. 435 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,480 When I looked straight out over the ocean to the South of 436 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,200 Catalina, perhaps 15 to 20° up from the ocean horizon, we 437 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,000 witnessed an object in the air that still had the sun 438 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,480 reflecting off of it. No blinking light. 439 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,720 It looked round or Oval, I think metallic in its reflection. 440 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,720 At first it just stayed there for about 3 or 4 seconds. 441 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,040 We both thought plane and we're about to look away. 442 00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:23,120 It seemed like a far away plane having the sun reflecting off 443 00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:25,520 it. Just before looking away, the 444 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,920 darn thing shot off at an extreme angle and stopped. 445 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,880 This thing moved so fast that all we saw was a blur. 446 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,640 It stayed in that position for maybe 2 seconds and then shot 447 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,040 off again at an extreme angle to another position. 448 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,600 OK now it had our attention. I looked at my wife and said 449 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,200 does anything we have move like that? 450 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,840 We watched this thing for about 40 seconds or so. 451 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,280 It made about 7 angled moves before shooting off again at an 452 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,600 extreme angle only to not be seen again. 453 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,280 It appeared to be further out than Catalina, more than 20 454 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,400 miles out at least. I am extremely skeptical person. 455 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,360 Nothing I know of could move like that or take the G forces 456 00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:10,360 involved. That is my story. 457 00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:13,920 For what it's worth, I will say this, I absolutely believe that 458 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,240 object was not at his earth. I saw it, would swear by it, 459 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,440 take a polygraph, etcetera. I also definitely believe in 460 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,960 what I saw. I only wish I could have filmed 461 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,760 it. Can anyone tell me what can move 462 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,800 like that? Since this time I have become an 463 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,280 amateur astronomer. Though I know I will probably 464 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,880 never see something like this again. 465 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,880 I have become very interested in all subjects having to do with 466 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,720 our universe, especially observing deep sky objects. 467 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,160 My equipment includes a 25 inch Newtonian and my hobby has close 468 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,600 to $30,000 in equipment to give you some idea of how interested 469 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,720 I have become. Wow. 470 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,440 Then it says new fork notes witness indicates that the date 471 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,760 of the incident is approximate. Well, very cool sighting and and 472 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,080 what an impact they had on these people. 473 00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,640 Let's take a look at one last one. 474 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,200 So we're finishing up here with this last sighting from the 475 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,160 Catalina Island, California area, which of course is very 476 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,520 near this W 291 naval exercise area. 477 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,840 And what we're talking about today, this possible UFO base, 478 00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:19,000 Cherry Knoll, located off the coast of California there. 479 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,040 So this sighting it says happened on June 19th, 1992. 480 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,840 Now that's not necessarily exact date, but that's the approximate 481 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,160 date they give. They reported it on June 6th, 482 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,880 2006. Duration 30 seconds. 483 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,640 Observers 5 Location Catalina Island Cherry Cove, California 484 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,320 USA Shape flash characteristic lights on objects emitted to 485 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,440 other objects Strobe UFO over Catalina If you can imagine 486 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,240 looking straight over at your head and seeing a large clock in 487 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,840 the sky. It was shortly after dusk. 488 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,600 I was at a Boy Scout camp at Cherry Cove on Catalina Island. 489 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,640 We were all gathered around a bonfire as the camp directors 490 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,720 were doing some sort of presentation dressed like Native 491 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,240 Americans rowing a canoe to shore. 492 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,840 I can't remember if I was already looking at the sky or if 493 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,800 it was the sounds of a couple of other people noticing it first 494 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,000 that drew my attention upward. There was a flashing object 495 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,280 moving very fast back to the clock image. 496 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,440 Imagine a giant clock in the sky. 497 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,480 The object was moving from 12:00 to 6:00, what I believe to be 498 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,560 South to north. When it reached what would be 499 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,760 the middle of the clock, it shot straight out toward the three O 500 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,040 clock position, then turned and headed back toward the north, 501 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,200 making a pattern like a chair route in football. 502 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,640 That's the only image I get in my head when I think about it. 503 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,800 Then it started moving all over, appearing to have no specific 504 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,240 direction, traveling what had to be great distances in the blink 505 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,480 of an eye, changing directions even quicker. 506 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,840 Finally it shot off to the north, disappearing into the 507 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,760 horizon. Before it left. 508 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,720 It appeared to be hovering and spinning over the ocean, and 509 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,360 then started to shoot things out from both the top and bottom of 510 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,400 the ship. The flashes were bright white. 511 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,400 Wow, wasn't that something? Yeah, this thing really, I mean, 512 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,280 just sounds like it was travelling at a super high speed 513 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,960 and just acting in ways that there's no way this could have 514 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,640 ever been something man made, especially not back in 1992. 515 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,960 I think it's very cool that we have all of these really 516 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,200 fantastic sightings. We have this naval activity, and 517 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,080 now we have what many people believe is an actual underwater 518 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,240 UFO base, all located in the same area. 519 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:31,960 Lots and lots of activity happening. 520 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,200 Hopefully we'll keep getting some more of these Tic Tac 521 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,440 videos. Also get some more of these 522 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,880 videos and accounts as reported on New Fork. 523 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,840 Until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
