Are you asking why would the hypothetical ETs construct these beacons, then, if these rocks were naturally occuring? I wish people would make clear what they were asking. Well, if that's what you're asking, these rocks are naturally occurring, aren't they, they just need to be set up in a certain way to focus the energy right. What they may have done is realised that there are energy patterns around the planet, (there probably are around all planets), and that this could be exploited by setting up these beacons as a foolproof way of navigating, at least in those areas where the right type of rock was naturally occurring. Maybe that's why there were so many saucer crashes in the USA; it didn't have the right geology, or not in those parts of it anyway.
I don't see how I could've made it much clearer.
If these natural sources are emitting signals though, wouldn't it be easier to just orient on them as they are instead? How hard is it for an interstellar navigator to calculate a position so many kellicams S-SW of Preseli or what have you? And why have multiple beacons within a few miles of each other, or in some cases only a few hundred yards?
Assuming these stones were really so unique, which seems unlikely, if the AA were capable of moving them as easily as the theory suggests, why didn't they simply quarry and import them to these other areas? Clearly from some of the circles it doesn't take very big stones, which is a point in itself.
