Suspecting that cover might be used, I targeted the closest port
city in Yemen to the area - Adan. If research has been happening they need
supplies, a staging area, and downtime.
Interestingly "Stargate Universe" has a character named "Adan." Great cover.
Man, lots of grease out there! I tried to glean something from godlikeP, but what a
train wreck! Anyone doubting the value of quality moderation, need only look there.
I guess they allow profanity UGH.
After much garbage, I finally something tangible. The Chinese are moving in:

Then I found the name of the underwater feature where the purported mystery earthquake
occurred: Sheba Ridge
Nature magazine article from 1982 describes a (EDIT: shortwave) magnetic anomaly in the Gulf of Aden:

Anyone have access?
I found plenty of evidence that any magnetic anomalies in the Gulf of Aden
are discussed as evidence of plate spreading theories but nothing about any
unusual magnetic anomalies. If there is one, it is likely to have started
recently.
This study in particular shows little anomaly in the Gulf of Aden:

This one also might be worth looking into:

That's all for now
Last EDIT: This little ditty just appeared in the Huffington Post, offering another point of view:

Sorry, had to take off for a little bit. Here's the rest:
[quote author=Johann Hari]In 1991, the government of Somalia - in the Horn of Africa - collapsed. Its nine million people have been teetering on starvation ever since - and many of the ugliest forces in the Western world have seen this as a great opportunity to steal the country's food supply and dump our nuclear waste in their seas.
Yes: nuclear waste. As soon as the government was gone, mysterious European ships started appearing off the coast of Somalia, dumping vast barrels into the ocean. The coastal population began to sicken. At first they suffered strange rashes, nausea and malformed babies. Then, after the 2005 tsunami, hundreds of the dumped and leaking barrels washed up on shore. People began to suffer from radiation sickness, and more than 300 died. Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the UN envoy to Somalia, tells me: "Somebody is dumping nuclear material here. There is also lead, and heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury - you name it." Much of it can be traced back to European hospitals and factories, who seem to be passing it on to the Italian mafia to "dispose" of cheaply. When I asked Ould-Abdallah what European governments were doing about it, he said with a sigh: "Nothing. There has been no clean-up, no compensation, and no prevention.[/quote]
Didn't hear about this one.
[quote author=Johann Hari]At the same time, other European ships have been looting Somalia's seas of their greatest resource: seafood. We have destroyed our own fish-stocks by over-exploitation - and now we have moved on to theirs. More than $300m worth of tuna, shrimp, lobster and other sea-life is being stolen every year by vast trawlers illegally sailing into Somalia's unprotected seas. The local fishermen have suddenly lost their livelihoods, and they are starving. Mohammed Hussein, a fisherman in the town of Marka 100km south of Mogadishu, told Reuters: "If nothing is done, there soon won't be much fish left in our coastal waters.
This is the context in which the men we are calling "pirates" have emerged. Everyone agrees they were ordinary Somalian fishermen who at first took speedboats to try to dissuade the dumpers and trawlers, or at least wage a 'tax' on them. They call themselves the Volunteer Coastguard of Somalia - and it's not hard to see why. In a surreal telephone interview, one of the pirate leaders, Sugule Ali, said their motive was "to stop illegal fishing and dumping in our waters... We don't consider ourselves sea bandits. We consider sea bandits [to be] those who illegally fish and dump in our seas and dump waste in our seas and carry weapons in our seas."[/quote]
Coastguard eh?
Another little distraction while searching is this "Stargate" amusement park ride built in Dubai:
