A new bizarre incident in a series of Scientology speedruns has made headlines after a man reportedly led more than 20 so-called 'Christian dwarves' into its Los Angeles headquarters in an attempt to locate actorTom Cruise.
In the video, a man is seen leading a group of dwarfs into the headquarters, with several of them holding placards and signs. Some of the messages read 'XENU SHOW YOURSELF' and 'RELEASE THE FILES.'
At the end of the clip, as they move back towards the exit, a woman can be heard shouting, 'I'm going to find where you guys live and I'm going to go to your house.'

In this latest incident, details remain unclear, including the identity of the man involved and whether any arrests were made. However, social media reactions have focused less on verified facts and more on the unusual nature of the group described.
Some questioned the legality of the act, with one asking, 'Can't you get into serious trouble for impeding a place of worship?' while another wrote, 'They're about to be arrested and join Don Lemon... federal crime to obstruct places of worship.'
Others reacted with disbelief and humour, treating the situation as another example of what they see as unpredictable behaviour in Los Angeles. 'There's crazy, then there's LA crazy,' one comment read. Another added, 'Say hello to my little friends,' while a separate post warned, 'This is funny as hell but it won't be as soon as their lawyers start filing lawsuits. I'm here for all of it.'
There were also more serious concerns. 'You know if the people who went into that church are getting hit with the FACE Act you can too,' one user wrote, referring to potential legal consequences for those involved. Another questioned whether participants could face arrest, while others debated whether any group has legal protection to enter private religious property in such a manner.
Cruise, who has been linked to the organisation for decades, was the stated target of the group's alleged search, although there is no confirmed evidence that he was present or involved.
