Mysterious 'UFO Base' off Malibu Vanishes from Google Earth
Malibu is home to Hollywood elite, surf dogs, and one of California's premier, most historically significant pointbreaks. The place is steeped in surf history, dating back to the salad days of the '50s and '60s, yet still living up to its iconic reputation anytime a large south swell swings through town.
Off the coast, however, there's something that's been stirring up the tinfoil hat community. Sycamore Knoll, an underwater feature 6.6 miles from the shore, has been speculated to be a 'UFO base' by conspiracy theorists. And now, according to the armchair alien experts, it's disappeared.
According to one UFO sighting Instagram account, Sycamore Knoll has been 'known to scientists for years, it has recently gained attention, particularly with speculation that it might be a hidden alien or government base, or the site of frequent UFO activity. Others suggest it's simply due to incomplete data or Google Earth updates.'
The coordinates of the oceanic feature are 34° 1'23.31″N 118° 59'45.64″W – go check it out yourself.
'However, as of April 2025, it has been mysteriously blurred out from Google Earth,' continued the conspiracy theorist IG, 'sparking questions as to why they felt the need to hide its location.'Per an account reported to the National UFO Reporting Center regarding a sighting at Sycamore Knoll: 'It looked like a massive, cathedral-shaped structure — multiple pointed edges all glowing brilliantly white, heading straight into the ocean. 'There was no splash, no sound... just a flash, and it was gone. It happened so fast — like a giant ship or object vanishing beneath the surface in an instant.'
Experts have studied Sycamore Knoll in a more scientific manner, citing that it is anomalous. According to a study from 2018: 'At the boundary between the Western Transverse Ranges province and Inner Continental Borderland of Southern California, strain is partitioned across the sinistral-oblique Anacapa-Dume Fault system. Sycamore Knoll, a pop-up structure 20 km west of Point Dume in the hanging wall of the north-dipping Anacapa-Dume Fault, stands out as an anomalous bathymetric high along the Southern California coast.'
Over on the highly credibleReddit thread dedicated to this phenomenon, one user wrote:
'Time to get a group of UFO hunting divers together.'

Selena Gomez's new shaggy bob haircut, complete with fringe is straight out of the 60s
While short hair is nothing new for Selena Gomez (she is the Queen of the a-line bob, after all), we've never seen her with a curly shag, complete with wispy fringe, no less. That is until today, where she hard-launched said new look in a jaw-dropping IG post... New szn, new hairstyle, as the old adage goes. Over on Instagram, the actor-meets-singer-meets-beauty mogul (a woman of many talents) shared a selfie, which, in just nine hours, has racked up over 800,000 likes. Impressive, much? In the picture, Sel debuted a brand new hairstyle, and it's one defined by textured curls, a short collar-grazing length, and, what's more, a fringe! Enter: The bob x shag multihyphenate. As the star so perfectly demonstrates, the shaggy bob is a hairstyle that combines the chic classic bob with the edginess of a shag, and often a fringe (think Stevie Nicks circa 1962) – making for lots of rock n roll texture and volume. So, if you, too, want to join the shaggy bob brigade, shorter, choppier layers are where it's at. That said, in the caption of her post, Selena unfortunately reveals that the haircut isn't here to stay; "I would, but I'd regret it, then get it redone so I simply wont #bangs." To bang, or not to bang, that is the question – and Sel chose to not... well, kinda. Alas, whether she's wearing a fully installed wig or a clip-in fringe extension, there's no denying that Selena looks totally fire with a fringed shaggy bob. Flame emojis, only.

Cruz Beckham Mocks Brooklyn Beckham's Career Amid Feud
After literal years of speculation, it seems like the rumored tension between Brooklyn Beckham, his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, and the rest of the Beckham family has reached a boiling point. For context, David and Victoria Beckham share three sons: Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, along with a 13-year-old daughter named Harper Seven. In 2022, when Brooklyn married Nicola, there were rumors of a big fallout between Nicola and Victoria. And while Nicola denied this was the case, there have since been several signs suggesting that the Peltz Beckhams are still at odds with Brooklyn's side of the family. For starters, Brooklyn and Nicola didn't attend a single one of David's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year, nor did they acknowledge David being awarded a long-awaited knighthood by King Charles III. On top of that, Brooklyn also snubbed his dad on Father's Day, which, if you know how active the Beckhams are on social media, is pretty shocking. Despite reports from People that there 'are tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and the family,' we don't have confirmation as to what might actually be going on between the two parties. Some sources claim that the rift stems from a dispute over Nicola and Brooklyn's wedding, while other insiders have speculated that it may have had something to do with Romeo dating one of Brooklyn's rumored exes. The rumored ex in question, Kim Turnbull — whom Romeo is no longer dating — recently denied that she was ever romantically involved with Brooklyn, so who knows. But, regardless of what the cause may be, Romeo and Cruz have been hinting that they may not be Brooklyn and Nicola's biggest fans. In May, the younger Beckham boys appeared to publicly mock Nicola on Instagram, and a few weeks later, Cruz posted a pointed IG tribute to his family, which many interpreted as a dig at Brooklyn's previous comments about how he will 'always choose' his wife. And now, Cruz seems to have made yet another dig towards his oldest bro — and this time it feels personal. On Sunday, Cruz, who's following in his mom's musical footsteps, uploaded a TikTok video of himself playing guitar and performing an unreleased song, titled 'For ya love.' In the comments section, one critic wrote, 'Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?,' to which Cruz bluntly replied, 'Wrong brother mate.' Now, in case you've forgotten, the person's comment was presumably in reference to the online mockery that Brooklyn has faced over the years for his varied and sometimes short-lived career pursuits. If you need a reminder, Brooklyn has dabbled in several different career fields, first starting as a hopeful soccer player before stepping back to try his hand at modeling. He then ventured over into the world of photography, memorably releasing a book of photos, called What I See. In 2017, Brooklyn seemed set on photography and began a four-year course at Parsons School of Design. However, he reportedly dropped out after one year, and the next thing we knew, he'd found his true calling as a chef. Despite previously saying he'd never taken a cooking class, Brooklyn has remained pretty dedicated to the culinary world. His ongoing chef era has led to an appearance on the Today Show, a web series called Cookin' with Brooklyn, a bottled Sake brand, a pop-up restaurant, and a hot sauce line called Cloud23. That said, his cooking pursuits have come with a fair amount of mockery, centered mainly around his relatively basic recipes. And with such a stacked resume already, Brooklyn recently threw a curveball by unveiling his latest venture in the world of Formula E motor racing, which is presumably what the commenter on Cruz's post was referring to. As it stands, Brooklyn has not acknowledged Cruz's comment, but we'll be sure to let you know if he does. In the meantime, I think David and Victoria should consider confiscating Cruz's phone...
