Curious, Brook. When I was a kid we used to experiment with building rockets. This pattern is familiar when you stand directly below the rocket you see the H20 (white spiral pattern) steaming off and the blue stream is the exhaust from the fuel. Though compelling, I have to agree that it is a rocket test gone bad...
However, if the pattern lands on a lay line of 19.47 degrees (which it does not), I will stand humbly corrected!

Which brings me to another subject mentioned:
I agree that there is a natural earth pattern to stargates opening on the planet, though I am not resonating with the idea that this pattern has failed, tampered with yes, replicated yes, but failed no. Galactic Mother Nature is too powerful a force. Her Merkaba hasn't gone anywhere. We wouldn't be able to be here if that was true. We wouldn't have any atmosphere if that were the case, just for starters.
The energy field of Gaia is the glue to keeping our molecules dancing as they are. This is the cause of the golden mean, sacred geometry, and all life on the planet which follows this pattern. A perfect example is the beautiful spiral that the failed rocket attempt made. It was merely following the predetermined pattern of life here on the planet. This is physics. This is why your toilet flushes and the water spins one direction on this side of the equator and the other direction on the other side of the equator. Same flush, same toilet, differing directions. Or rather the same direction, just a different perspective.
At least this is my opinion. I have no doubt that gates are opening on this planet and have been and will for a long time depending on the POSITION OF THE GALACTIC ALIGNMENTS TO GAIA'S OWN MERKABA. Yes, you too can do this at home by using patterns. This is why pentagrams are used in magic. But I wouldn't suggest that experiment without knowing who you are letting in.

And you wouldn't know until it was too late.
What we need to pay attention to is who and why. I wouldn't take anything that the ET's say as truth, not until they are willing to be our equals. Remember, technology does not make one spiritually superior. Neither does dogma, wealth, or industry. We are a part of God. Period. That is our commonality.
