Retired US Navy Rear Admiral and oceanographer Timothy Gallaudet has revealed the existence of an inexplicable geological anomaly that was recently discovered on the seafloor near California’s Catalina Island, the site of numerous encounters between the US Navy and UAP, including cases such as the one involving the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group in 2004, and a month-long series of events involving four US Navy ships in July 2019. Although the anomaly could very well have a natural explanation, Gallaudet speculates that the anomaly, of which he says he has “not been able to find a natural explanation for,” may be evidence of “UAP interaction with the seafloor,” or even possibly an underwater UFO base.
After concluding a 32-year career in the US Navy as a Rear Admiral in 2017, Gallaudet served as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere between October 2017 and January 2021; following that he was confirmed by the Senate as the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere, later to become the Department’s Acting Under Secretary, and Acting Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Gallaudet is currently the CEO of Ocean STL Consulting, and is a member of the Advisory Board of Americans for Safe Aerospace, an organization founded by former naval aviator Ryan Graves.
Speaking on the September 26 episode of the Merged Podcast, Gallaudet described having given undersea explorer Victor Vescovo the coordinates of a feature on the seabed between California’s Catalina island and Long Beach that he considered “really unusual” that appeared in earlier datasets. Using a newly sonar system that had recently been installed on his research ship, Vescovo conducted a detailed sonar survey of the seabed off of the coast of San Pedro that yielded a detailed look at the anomaly that had piqued Gallaudet’s interest.
Gallaudet describes the anomaly as appearing superficially similar to a natural phenomenon known as a “turbidity flow”, a form of underwater avalanche driven by a sediment-laden current that flows down the slope; however, he stressed that “this thing doesn’t look anything like [a turbidity flow], it looks like something just fully was carved out.”
Projecting from a wedge-shaped gouge found in the slope of a submarine ridge, a clear trail scraped into the seafloor extends over two kilometers (1 1/4 miles), ending in a jumbled, 100-meter (328-foot) mound of debris; Gallaudet points out that two kilometers is a “significant distance” for such a large amount of material to have been displaced, considering the gentle slope that it would have needed to traverse to arrive at its current resting place.
Gallaudet sent the data to Dr. Larry Mayer, a “colleague at the University of New Hampshire who’s the foremost authority on Ocean mapping.”
“He looked at it for me and he said ‘I’m not sure what that is Tim,'” Gallaudet said.
Gallaudet voiced his speculation that the anomaly may be related to UAP activity on the October 20 episode of Chris Lehto’s Lehto Files podcast, stating that “it does cause one to speculate: is that evidence of undersea UAP interaction with the seafloor, or even or a location for undersea infrastructure where these things go?”
Gallaudet is currently keeping the exact coordinates of the anomaly under his hat for the time being; he was approached by a producer from Netflix that is looking to fund an expedition to the site, for what he described as “the makings of a really epic undersea UAP show.” Gallaudet’s next step “is to find a science institution to dive on that feature and [figure out] where it came from with an ROV and see what it is; can it be explained by natural undersea marine geological processes… or not?”

Thank you for these FABULOUS VIDEOS. Would it be possible for Whitley to interview Timothy Gallaudet?
I will try to get him on. I do have his contact information, and we met briefly at the Sol Conference. He seemed well disposed toward us experiencers.
I’ve been following all of this for a while. I lived in Long Beach for about 9 years in my youth and attended college there for a couple of years before moving back to Texas. I have also been to Catalina Island, staying there for weekend where I attended a symposium when I was in high school (And met Jacques Cousteau!) I never saw a UFO there, but all I can say is that it was all magical to me, and the people in Avalon were just wonderful, offering up their homes for students to stay in for that weekend. The energy there was so positive, and we actually got to witness whales migrating, an unexpected bonus (Which was why Cousteau had the Calypso anchored off the island). When he walked into the research facility where a small group of us were visiting/learning, it was a total surprise to all of us, and one I’ll never forget. I was the only kid on the boat that brought us to the island that didn’t end up seasick. (The boat was ‘The Magic Isle’, which most of the kids dubbed ‘The Tragic Pile’. 🙂)
I also loved San Pedro, and have been aware of the ‘structures’ seen offshore for several years. I wasn’t crazy about Southern California, but these two places had a positive effect on me, and an old occult shop that I visited often was in San Pedro (John Hogue and I once compared notes, and it turned out that he worked in that shop back then and probably assisted me there!)
Although I ended up back in Texas, I would not be the person I am now on my unusual trajectory if I hadn’t spent some formative years in Long Beach. Galluadet would make an excellent guest on Dreamland and the video chat too.
I can’t express it all here, but suffice to say that I feel like we get the experiences that we need, in the ways that we need to get them, which explains the wide range of experiences, whether positive or negative, frightening or magical, UFOs or ghosts, gradually over a lifetime— or one WTF moment.
Thank you for sharing these memories!
“We get the experiences we need” is a really helpful and I expect very true way to look at all this.
