These two giant inter-locking circles encapsulating diamonds apparently signify the ’secret’ location of a huge Scientology vault which has been constructed to protect the writings of L. Ron Hubbard, etched onto stainless steel and stored in titanium cases.

According to former members of the group, future Scientology fans will be able to travel through time and space, in a spacecraft which looks a lot like a Douglas DC-8 airliner, to reach this site.

More about the area in a recent Washington post article.

    Or, you know, they could simply land a regular plane on the airstrip directly to the southwest.

    Ah, those silly scientologists… I remember reading about this on fark and someone said in a few thousand years when scientists from the future discover this tomb, they will cry.

    “Hubbard had ordered a little girl who was a deafmute down into the chain locker sometime in 1968. Hubbard was going to cure her deaf-ness by shoving her down there! This came to my attention after she’d been there for about a week because the Master at Arms at the time, a beautiful girl, came to me and said, “John, I’ve got to have you come and see what’s going on.”

    McMaster remembers once being asked by the Master at Arms to come and help her, He pulled up the wedge from the chain-locker, a dank and unhealthy part of the ship into which offenders were flung without food as a punishment. Out crawled a little girl who turned out to be a deaf-mute who had been unable to write her name and had incurred the Commodore’s wrath. “
