Yesterday, we revealed the location of a strange object resembling an alien craft that was spotted on Google Maps.
But we’re still no closer to knowing explaining the mysterious sighting of a structure which looks like it could be an alien ship – or just a boring old cesspit.
‘That, plus the boat, leads me to believe this is a man-made body of water which caused a visual glitch.’
Another shared a picture of an object he claimed was a Mayan relic, showing an object in the sky which looks remarkably like the Google Maps sighting.
However, we have been unable to verify the authenticity of this image so have not published it.
Another reader pointed out what appears to be tanks nearby, which you can see in the images below.
He wrote: ‘There are a lot of what appear to be tanks covering every road to the south leading up to it. Some even look like they have embankments built around them. Weird!’

The ‘UFO’ was actually spotted near Naval Weapons Center China Lake, which is about 500 miles away from Area 51.
Some observers have suggested it’s a water reservoir or even a cesspit.
There is a boat nearby, which indicates that it could be used for sailing or perhaps testing boats.
However, this rather prosaic explanation was not enough for some Twitterers.
There are boats and other vehicles located near the ‘anomaly’
‘That, my friends, is one of the ships that’ll be used in a fake alien invasion,’ one nervous chap tremored.
‘Will be used to scare the masses. Remember this pic.’
Others questioned why you would test boats in a desert – and also whether the site was a military testing zone.
One person said: ‘It’s for boats. There is a boat nearby. That is a large pool of water with a launch ramp. Why is the question? WHY?’
