A strange object resembling a UFO has been spotted in a remote area of New Mexico.
This discovery has captured the attention of many people online and sparked a lot of discussion.
Google Maps shows the object, a large white disc, at an elevation of about 7,400 feet.
Its exact location is marked by the coordinates 34°24’21.6″N 107°05’44.5″W.
Location details of the bizarre UFO-Like disc
The site is located approximately 34 miles from the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge.
It sits in the Sierra Ladrones mountain range, a place where there are no clear roads or homes nearby.
Google Maps images reveal metallic features on the top of the disc, with part of it covered by vegetation.
This has led to various theories about what the object might be.
Various speculations and theories emerge
Some users on social media are speculating that the disc could be a UFO that crash-landed in the mountains long ago.
Others believe it could be a hatch for a hidden underground facility.
Many have claimed to see what look like windows, a fuselage, and electrical circuits on the object when they view it closely.
One user said: It’s the saucer section of the Enterprise A.
The second user wrote: It’s the saucer section of the Enterprise A.
The third user joked: Musk is Alien of the Mars
Another user added: I was going to take a look, but certainly not worth watching a 30 second advert first.
Someone said: Instead of speculating how about someone go and take a look? It’s not exactly on Mars
Historical images reveal changes over time.
Curiously, some users have looked at older images of the area.
They found a black, box-like structure in the same spot from as far back as 1975.
In a 2003 image, the disc can be seen in the barren landscape, suggesting that it has been there for some time.
Discussions about the object have spread across social media platforms, with many calling for someone to send a drone to investigate further.
One user, known as Steph Kent, shared the images and wrote about the unusual shape of the disc embedded in the mountain.
This sparked even more theories, with some suggesting that it might be an old observatory or a water reservoir.
The earliest images of the site available from Google Maps date back to 1996, showing an empty landscape.
A YouTuber measured the disc’s dimensions.
A YouTuber named MrMBB333 also took an interest in the site.
He measured the disc and claimed it is about 30 feet wide.
In his videos, he suggests the disc may have crashed into the mountain, appearing stuck in place.
He speculated that the object had become buried over time.
A practical explanation of mysterious UFO-Like disc
On the other hand, a user from the Metabunk website offered a more practical explanation.
Initially, they thought the object was a crashed UFO, but after research, they updated their theory.
They believe the structure is actually a rainwater catchment that has been removed and replaced by something else over the years.
They looked at historical records and found evidence showing a structure at that location since at least 1975.
The interest in the disc ins’t limited to New Mexico.
Recently, Google Maps users discovered unusual messages spelled out on the ground in Los Angeles, which also gained a lot of attention.
These discoveries highlight how people are curious about strange sights in remote locations.
