CNN TV is talking about the mysterious Scientology compound in New Mexico again. Probably just for ratings. Because it features a vault built into a mountainside and crop-circle-like symbols etched into the landscape that can be seen only from the air, rumors are flying. (See the symbols from the air here: hXXp://www.satellite-sightseer.com/id/7365/United_States/New_Mexico/Trementina/Scientology_landing_strip_and_symbol)
The local sheriff has been invited there to help squelch escalating rumors that aliens will land there. He says he saw lots of people, farm animals, and food stockpiles, but other than these "survivalist" trappings, nothing too unusual.
Funny thing is, this is an old story that is almost word-for-word found here, hXXp://www.xenu.net/archive/WIR/wir09-48.html, from 2005. Here's part of it. It is kind of mysterious.

The Church of Scientology, BTW, may be an example of a CoIntelPro that is openly attacked by the mainstream media in order to legitimize it -- literally to promote interest in it and in other spiritual-growth "detours."Landing Zone Earth
The Church of Spiritual Technology, the California-based branch of the renowned Church of Scientolgy, first came to Trementina, New Mexico in January, 1984. They began purchasing tracts of land and set to work on building a massive compound.
By 1990, workmen had finished the tunnel, cleared an air strip atop a mesa and built at least three luxury homes, valued at $2.5 million. The main house is massive, with 12,000 square feet of living space and 12 bedrooms.
But what goes on inside the remote, 4,175-acre spread known as San Miguel Ranch remains a mystery to most on the outside -- because church officials aren't saying.
What is known is that the compound's primary function is to house the writing of spiritual leader L. Ron Hubbard, whose works have been engraved on steel plates encapsulated in titanium. The project is funded by a $30 million bequest left by Hubbard for just such a purpose.
The plan is that in the future, when Hubbard's followers wish to return, they will be able find the source material more easily, sparing Scientologists the same embarrassments that have befallen other major religions.
Former Scientologists familiar with Hubbard's teachings on reincarnation say the symbol marks a 'return point' so loyal staff members know where they can find the founder's works when they travel here in the future from other places in the universe.

A satellite image of the area shows what appears to be a 6,000-foot-long landing strip with a base station at its end, with a series of switchbacks reaching over the mesas, heading towards the landing pad. The church is desperately trying to kill the story.
The church tried to persuade station KRQE not to air its report last week about the aerial signposts marking a Scientology compound that includes a huge vault 'built into a mountainside,' the station said on its Web site. The tunnel was constructed to protect the works of L. Ron Hubbard, the late science-fiction writer who founded the church in the 1950s. [...]
It is overseen by a Scientology corporation called the Church of Spiritual Technology. Based in Los Angeles, the corporation dispatched an official named Jane McNairn and an attorney to visit the TV station in an effort to squelch the story, KRQE news director Michelle Donaldson said.
