Look: NASA’s High-Tech Radar Captures Escalating Landslide Activity Near Los Angeles | UAP

A massive landslide zone in California’s Palos Verdes Peninsula is rapidly expanding, driven largely by extreme weather events, according to recent aerial reconnaissance data obtained by NASA.

For more than six decades, this region in Los Angeles County has been an active landslide area. However, as climate volatility increases the frequency of natural disasters, the situation has worsened, adding yet another challenge for California officials and residents.

A Peninsula on the Move

Extending into the Pacific Ocean, the Palos Verdes Peninsula hosts an ancient landslide complex. While hundreds of buildings have been affected by shifting ground over the past half-century, landslide activity has accelerated significantly in the last two years. Record-breaking rainfall in 2023 followed by torrential storms in early 2024 has left the ground heavily saturated, further destabilizing the area.

NASA began investigating the Palos Verdes landslides as part of a broader project monitoring landslides across California. The agency’s assessments, designed for state officials and public use, incorporated data from the European Space Agency’s Copernicus Sentinel-1A/B satellites and other remote sensing technologies. The Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis (ARIA) mission at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a collaboration between JPL and Caltech, led…more
