UAP hotspot Catalina Island: Alien bases under the ocean? | Reality Check

Catalina Island, just off the coast of Los Angeles, is a well-documented UAP hotspot with a high concentration of sightings spanning over seven decades. Historian Richard Dolan's research indicates an "inordinate number" of truly fascinating UAP and USO (Unidentified Submerged Object) cases in the area, many involving objects moving transmedium—from air to water or vice versa—often without the expected splash. The behavior suggests intelligent control, with patterns pointing to a potential long-term, non-human presence. Dolan theorizes the possibility of an alien or non-human intelligence base located underwater near the island, as the deep ocean would provide an ideal, stealthy environment for such a presence, evading even dense military and commercial activity in the surrounding waters. The phenomenon exhibits operational discipline, often disabling military systems and showing a marked increase in nighttime activity post-1967, possibly to avoid satellite surveillance. Ultimately, the evidence points to a sophisticated, observing intelligence that is profoundly outmatched by our own technology and understanding.
