Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
Outside a ranch home in Creston, CA there’s a private racetrack, with a familiar looking symbol.
Haven’t I seen this before?
Ah, yes! That’s the super-secret symbol indicating hidden vaults that contain the complete works of late science fiction author and general all-round nutjob L Ron Hubbard.
Let’s hope Tom Cruise doesn’t set the scientology lawyers on us for linking to the map (or that video that just today got leaked onto the Internet!)

The old Egyptians built pyramids, modern humans (well, some of them apparently) build ’secret vaults’ … That’s real progress
Fortunately for us they didn’t seem to think of Google Earth
I’m guessing this is probably the ranch where LRH died.
The YouTube video has been taken down, no surprise there.
Shhhhhhh…..Church of Scientology is really C.I.A. mind control experiment/money machine. Shhhhhhhhh…..you didn’t hear it from me.

I love how that site described where LRH was buried…
“Remains: Cremated, Dumped into the Pacific Ocean”
Send In the SWEENEY!!!.
From wikipedia:
Hubbard died at his ranch on 24 January 1986, aged 74, reportedly from a stroke. Scientology attorneys arrived to claim his body, which they sought to have cremated immediately per his will. They were blocked by the San Luis Obispo County medical examiner, who ordered a drug toxicology test of a blood sample from Hubbard’s corpse. The examination revealed a trace amount of the drug hydroxyzine (brand name Vistaril). Vistaril is an antihistamine and mild sedative sometimes used for symptomatic treatment of anxiety, neurosis or as an adjunct in non-related diseases in which anxiety is apparent. It is also useful as an anti-emetic (to prevent nausea), and in treating allergic pruritus such as chronic urticaria and atopic and contact dermatoses. After the blood was taken, Hubbard’s remains were cremated.
Yes this is the location where LRH died. In fact it was in a 1982 Bluebird RV parked near the stables southwest of the main house. Unlike the New Mexico location, there is no evidence that there is a vault here.
At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_of_Scientology it says it is the Church of Spiritual Technology logo.
If scientologists have the powers they claim to have, they could just fly up there and take out the satellites that take pictures they don’t like.
