What is this and what is it used for ? Image Credit: Google Earth The mysterious object, which was spotted in New Mexico, is situated around 34 miles from the Sevilleta National Refuge in the state's remote and mountainous Sierra Ladrones region.

Resembling a white disc partially obscured by ground vegetation, it sits at an altitude of 7,400 feet.

You can find it for yourself on Google Maps at the co-ordinates 34°24'21.6"N 107°05'44.5"W.

When images of the discovery were shared online, social media users quickly began speculating as to precisely what this peculiar feature could actually be.

Some suggested that it could be a crashed UFO, while others thought it might be a hatch to some secretive underground complex.Others, meanwhile, tried to turn back the clock by looking at imagery from the past to see how long it had been there.

In 1975, for instance, there appeared to be a black, box-like structure at the site, while the white disc-shaped structure we see now was present in 2003, so it definitely didn't 'crash' there recently.

One of the most plausible explanations is that it is some form of tank for catching rainwater.

There's also a chance that it could be some sort of science station for recording data.

As things stand, however, its exact purpose continues to remain unclear.
