UFOs descending near a volcanic island.

Are there alien bases under Mexico’s Guadalupe Island?

Staff Reporter Nov 28, 2024

The discussion of UFOs has recently focused on Guadalupe Island, a volcanic island that lies approximately 241 kilometers off the coast of Baja California. Danny Sheehan, a Harvard lawyer and UFO disclosure advocate, suggests that this remote island might harbor an underwater alien base.

Danny Sheehan is a constitutional and public interest lawyer known for his involvement in high-profile cases like the Pentagon Papers and the Iran-Contra affair. In recent years, he has focused on UFO disclosure, working as legal counsel for figures such as Luis Elizondo, former director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. Sheehan’s legal background and advocacy have positioned him as a prominent voice in the UFO community.

In a presentation for the New Paradigm Institute, Sheehan said that aliens might have bases on Earth, including one under the ocean near Guadalupe Island. He mentioned reports from the USS Nimitz battle group, which saw over 100 UFOs coming from space and diving into the water, pointing to a possible underwater alien base.

While Sheehan claims that an underwater alien base exists near Guadalupe Island, no solid evidence has been found to support this statement. The scientific community approaches such statements with skepticism, emphasizing the importance of verifiable data. More realistic explanations often include incorrectly interpreted natural phenomena or advanced military technology.

In the past few years, the U.S. government has revealed reports and held congressional hearings about UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), taking into consideration their potential national security implications. Additionally, in September 2023, journalist Jaime Maussan presented alleged “non-human” mummified specimens to Mexico’s Congress, claiming they were over 1,000 years old. The public discussion on extraterrestrial life has become more intense due to these events.

Guadalupe Island’s isolation and unique geography make it a central focus for UFO-related claims. Its remote location and limited human presence provide an environment where unusual activities might go unnoticed, fueling speculation about hidden bases or extraterrestrial operations.

Reactions to Sheehan’s statements are mixed. UFO enthusiasts view them as validation of long-held beliefs, while skeptics want concrete evidence. Local authorities haven’t reported anything unusual, and scientists haven’t found any proof of an underwater alien base near the island.

Danny Sheehan’s statements about extraterrestrial activity near Guadalupe Island are intriguing, but there is no empirical evidence to support them. The scientific community continues to encourage careful thinking and thorough investigation when examining such claims. As public interest in UFO phenomena increases, balancing open-mindedness with skepticism is important to ensure that discussions are based on verifiable facts.
