This is… er, the Integratron! What is it? Why, it’s an “acoustically perfect tabernacle and energy machine sited on a powerful geomagnetic vortex in the magical Mojave Desert” of course!

Okaaaay. Apparently the guy that built it claimed he was inspired by a predawn meeting with a visitor from Venus named Solgonda. Obviously.

Read the full story at the LA Times for much more bizarre ufology, or visit the official site if you dare!

Update: kjfitz pointed us towards the great birds-eye view of the Integratron in WLL (Safari users note that WLL still doesn’t work in your browser though I’m afraid).

Thanks to jher via boing boing.

Well, since we’re making video game references, this does remind me of sam n’ max hit the road, but even more of the Skyrunner from Earthbound (Mother 2)
