church of Scientology, crop circle

This is Scientology property. According to the CST, the purpose of the base is to provide storage space for an archiving project to preserve L. Ron Hubbard's writings, films and recordings for future generations. The two circles you see are a logo marked into the surface.
There is a Scientology-built vault about 10 miles northeast of here, but that property was traded to the US government.
The tunnel was reportedly constructed to protect the works of L. Ron Hubbard, the late science-fiction writer who founded the church in the 1950s. The archiving project, which the church has acknowledged, includes engraving Hubbard's writings on stainless steel tablets and encasing them in titanium capsules.
What do the markings mean? For starters, the interlocking circles and diamonds match the logo of the Church of Spiritual Technology, which had the vault constructed in a mesa in the late 1980s. The $2.5 million construction job was done by Denman and Associates of Santa Fe, but company Vice President Sally Butler said of the circles, "If there is anything like that out there, it had nothing to do with us."
Perhaps the signs are just a proud expression of the Scientology brand. But there are other, more intriguing theories.
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.
The church maintains two other vaults in California to preserve Hubbard's materials and words.
