But back to the
Ancient Stones topic, the twin villages of Alton Barnes and Alton Priors in Wiltshire lie 15 miles north of Stonehenge and have been a focus of crop circle/UFO activity for many years, they're technically two separate villages but they're so close to each other that they're almost touching.
Alton Priors church is circled (left click pics to enlarge)
Built in the 12th century (but some kind of sacred site was there long before that), Alton Priors church stands alone (below) at the heart of UFO country
with ancient sarsen stones buried beneath its floor.
Unusually for most English churches, nobody seemed to want to build homes near it..

Okay here's my stunning theory-
Maybe sarsen stones are some kind of "navigation beacons" for UFO's?
Maybe ancient peoples saw UFO's being attracted to sarsen stones and assumed they were demonic, so they carted the stones away and buried them under the hallowed church floor? Maybe they still attract UFO's?
Incidentally, sarsens were used to construct some parts of Stonehenge-
well at least youre getting up to speed and posting sources. So in your wiki link we learn that:
"Sarsen stones are sandstone blocks found in quantity in the United Kingdom on Salisbury Plain, the Marlborough Downs, in Kent, and in smaller quantities in Berkshire, Essex, Oxfordshire, Dorset and Hampshire. They are the post-glacial[1] remains of a cap of tertiary silcrete which once covered much of southern England"
OK so the stones are pretty much 'everywhere' then, or were till land was no doubt, cleared for farming/housing etc, because a 'glacier' deposited them there. If any stones are under the church, it seems good building practice to establish a solid base/foundations to build upon doesnt it? Cant see any mystery there at all.
You mention no-one wants to live near a church... we lived half a mile from a village church when I was a lad, the bells on Sunday, or weddings, or funerals, even half a mile away in a quiet village used to drive us bonkers.. so again I don't find it a mystery. Plus factor in who owns the land all round the church, which is usually the church of course, and we can also think that the church simply didn't allow its land to be used for building, again its plausible. Modern homeowners get into fits of rage if a new building is to be built close to them, its how people are. Or maybe, there were historic non marked graves there, and again, who the heck wants to take a chance and disturb the old bones by digging and building there?
And why the hell would UFOs navigate by stones? Its outrageous to even think that they traverse tremendous distances in space, (with no direction signs), they make it here, plus they naturally have a birds eye view of the lie of the land/continents....but have to swoop down low enough to look for stone navigation beacons?
Are you a raving lunatic?
