Giant Rock

To UFO researchers, Giant Rock is significant for many reasons, for starters it was the home and workplace of the enigmatic George Van Tassel. Van Tassel allegedly made contact with extraterrestrials in the 1950’s and was tutored by them on a variety of subjects, including human, cellular rejuvenation. And that led to the building of a structure called the Integratron.

The Integratron is the creation of George Van Tassel, and is based on the design of Moses’ Tabernacle, the writings of Nikola Tesla and telepathic directions from extraterrestrials. This one-of-a-kind building is a 38-foot high, 55-foot diameter, non-metallic structure originally designed by Van Tassel as a rejuvenation and time machine. Today, it is the only all-wood, acoustically perfect sound chamber in the U.S.

George Van Tassel went to visit a friend, Critzer, who had settled at Great Rock. Van Tassel was surprised to find that Critzer had dug under the Great Rock in order to have a place to live, creating a kind of cave for himself.

In the summer the maximum temperature under the Rock is 80 degrees F. In the winter, the temperature is a minimum of 50 degrees F. In contrast, the temperature outside the cave swings between 25 degrees F to 115 degrees F.

The Giant Rock covers 5800 Sq. ft. of ground and is 7 stories high. The rooms that Critzer dug were no more than a total of 400 sq. ft.

During WWII, Critzer was accused of stealing dynamite and being a Nazi spy (he lived in a desolate place and had served in the German Navy during WWI). A confrontation with the police resulted in his death in August of 1942, when police tear gas grenades set off a case of dynamite.

Van Tassel retired to Giant Rock and built an airstrip. He meditated under the rock and believed that he was at the site of an energy vortex. He was an early UFO researcher and constructed a large, non-metallic dome according to plans he received while meditating.
