In the Mojave Desert near Joshua Tree, a white wooden dome rises from the sand. This is the Integratron, built between 1954 and 1978 by George Van Tassel, an aircraft mechanic who claimed that aliens from Venus had given him the blueprints for a rejuvenation machine and time-travel device. Van Tassel followed the instructions precisely: the dome contains no metal fasteners (which would interfere with the electromagnetic field), sits on a powerful geomagnetic vortex (according to Van Tassel), and was designed to focus cosmic energy for cell regeneration. Van Tassel died in 1978 before completing the machine. The dome sat abandoned until new owners discovered its extraordinary acoustics. The Integratron is now a destination for 'sound baths' - visitors lie on the floor while facilitators play quartz crystal singing bowls, the dome's perfect acoustics amplifying every vibration. Whether the aliens intended this use is unclear.

George Van Tassel was an aircraft mechanic who worked for Howard Hughes and Douglas Aircraft before moving to the Mojave Desert in 1947. He leased land from the government at Giant Rock, a seven-story boulder sacred to Native Americans, and opened a small airport and café. In 195...

The Integratron is a 38-foot-tall, 55-foot-diameter wooden dome built without nails or metal fasteners - only wooden dowels and glue. Van Tassel believed metal would interfere with the electromagnetic energy the structure was designed to collect and focus. The dome sits on a foun...

Van Tassel claimed the Integratron would rejuvenate human cells, reversing aging, and eventually enable time travel. The dome was supposed to function as an electrostatic generator, collecting and amplifying energy from the Earth and cosmos. Visitors would sit in a chair at the c...

In 2000, sisters Joanne, Nancy, and Patty Karl purchased the Integratron and discovered its remarkable acoustics. The dome's wooden construction and parabolic shape create near-perfect sound reflection - a whisper at one end is audible at the other. The Karls began offering 'soun...

The Integratron is located at 2477 Belfield Boulevard in Landers, California, about 20 miles north of Joshua Tree National Park. Sound baths are offered by reservation only; sessions fill quickly, especially on weekends. The experience lasts about an hour. Private sessions and ov...
