In 2016 an anonymous drone pilot who called himself ‘Angry Thetan’ contacted us with amazing footage over some of Scientology’s most secretive US sites, including the small mountain compound, ‘Twin Peaks,’ where we believe Scientology leader David Miscavige banished his wife Shelly back in 2005.
For good measure, Angry Thetan went back to Twin Peaks for a second look, and we got a very good idea of the layout of the place with some help from Dylan Gill, who helped construct it.
A few days ago a new anonymous drone operator appeared, and we got to see his overflights of Int Base, Scientology’s 500-acre international management compound near Hemet, California.
And now he’s contacted us about a couple of videos he shot over Twin Peaks.
Once again we’re getting a good look at the structures at the compound where Scientology’s super-secret subsidiary, the Church of Spiritual Technology, does expensive archive work preserving the words of L. Ron Hubbard to be stored in underground vaults for thousands of years. CST has several vault sites around California and New Mexico, but it’s the compound at Twin Peaks, CST’s headquarters, where there’s not only a vault but also the facilities to do the archiving work, and a small work force of about 12 to 15 people.
And one of them, we believe, is Shelly Miscavige, who has been there since late August or early September of 2005.
We’ll remind you again of where the CST headquarters compound is…
In this map, we place the relative positions of Scientology’s administrative headquarters in Los Angeles (known as “Big Blue” for its paint scheme, and “PAC Base” for Pacific Area Command), Int Base near Hemet (to the right, on the map), and, nearer the top of the map, the location of CST’s headquarters compound, Twin Peaks.
Here are some of the views you’ll see in the videos…
This is the location of the underground vault, which is under the white cement slab in the center. The structure there next to it is the “elevator house” for accessing the vault.
Here’s a view of the “LRH House,” a lavish residence that sits empty, waiting in case L. Ron Hubbard returns and needs a place to stay.
A couple of cars parked at the mess hall.
A large truck is parked at the “New Production Building,” where the archiving work is done.
We didn’t get a very clear shot this time of the “exec berthing” where we suspect that Shelly might be living, which is next door to the house for the compound’s commanding officer.
But in general, things look pretty much the way they were three years ago. Do you see any significant differences?
Here are the videos…
“That’s a trick I learned from Commander Thompson, by the way. He used to train cats. It’s almost impossible to train a house cat — I mean really train a house cat into doing all sorts of dog tricks and so forth. He used to be able to do that, and he taught me how to train cats when I was a kid. He would wait for the cat to do something and then he’d reward it. And if you don’t think that requires patience! You’re going to wait for this cat to do something that’s going to be totally accidental, and then you’re going to approve of it. Wow! Oh, you can just burn up hours and hours and hours trying to train a cat.” — L. Ron Hubbard, February 11, 1957

“When I was inside the ship and talking to a gray in telepathy, my body was not there, only me. Therefore there is nothing physical that can create sound, or hear sound. A spirit being normally communicates with radio frequencies, so from my experience it was like this entity was literally putting the sound in me. It is much different than hearing sound. So this would be an OT ability.”
