Pictured up close for the first time, Scientology's 'alien space cathedral and spaceship landing pad' built in the New Mexico desert for the 'return of followers after Armageddon on Earth'

>

The mysterious building which leads to an underground vault sits next to two giant symbols carved into the ground - believed to be markers for the religion's followers to find their way back from the ends of the universe after humanity is destroyed in the future.

While no one knows the definite meaning of the pair of overlapping circles, each with a diamond in them, it is believed to have been trademarked by the Church of Technology, a branch of Scientology

It is believed that they are a ‘return point’ so members of the church know where they can find the works of founder L. Ron Hubbard when they come back from space after a nuclear catastrophe wipes out the human race.

3. I feel sorry for the Aliens, if any

Ugly place (to me). That is a pretty part of the world, too bad they had to come in and put in that airstrip and 'markers'. Nuts

9. "The two giant overlapping circles, each with a diamond in them, are believed to have been...

trademarked by the Church of Technology, a branch of Scientology"

'Believed to have been trademarked"?

If they did trademark it, there should a public record.

if there's no public record... then there's no trademark.

10. Cool.

But don't clue the true believers into the fact that their "mysterious symbols" won't look much different than the surrounding landscape after the nuclear (and tree-destroying) conflagration.
