The Story
In the late summer of 1990 an air national guard reconnaissance aircraft photographed the extraordinary Sri Yantra design carved in a dry lake bed in a remote area of the Oregon desert.
Central command was notified of the discovery and military personnel traveled to the site to examine the design. After weeks of research, they finally released to the public that they had discovered the design measuring over a quarter of a mile in diameter. They concluded that it was not a secret government project and that it was not made by aliens.
Ufologists began conducting investigations and reported that it was probably a government cover up because of the length of time between that initial discovery and when the Air Force decided to release information to the public. They also disputed that it could not have been made by humans, concluding it was too geometrically perfect to be completed in the short amount of time that the Air Force had stated it was constructed.
Bill Witherspoon, an artist from Fairfield Iowa, came forward to claim he and some friends had camped in the desert and had made the large design. The story he told seemed factual, but he never offered any concrete proof of what he claimed. Skeptics refused to believe him and his friends who came forward saying they were not interested in the attention. The story took a back seat to other news events and seemed to disappear.
The design which dates back 6000 years and is still used today as an aid in meditation, is thought to be the king of power symbols by eastern religions. It is a design that has fascinated people for centuries.
Why would anyone create this design measuring over a quarter of mile in diameter in a remote part of the Oregon desert? How could over 13 miles of accurately etched lines be created without sophisticated equipment and the absence of tire tracks or footprints?
The mystery has continued to grow through publications, countless online articles and videos. After 25 years, the world remains in search of the true story behind the creation of the Oregon desert Sri Yantra.

The Investigation |
The staff of Video Image Productions, Inc., an independent film and video production company, is currently in production of the documentary “Sri Yantra: The Oregon Desert Mystery.”
Research has been ongoing since the fall of 2014 in an effort to document the truth behind the mystery; and separate it from all the misinformation and false reports in the media and on the Internet since it’s discovery. |
Found Footage |
A breakthrough in the investigation occurred in the spring of 2015 when over six hours of lost video footage was discovered. The footage provides definitive documentation of the design's construction and explains the truth behind who, why and how it was created. The documentary will also show how the mystery was compounded from the beginning and kept alive throughout the years by speculation and conjecture .
