Baffled by their discovery, Twitter user CryptoSpawn claimed it could be a “landing indentation from a large craft”.
And a plane wreckage appears to be just under nine miles away from the site, prompting CryptoSpawn to ask: “Did someone get too close and get shot down?”

They also point out that there appears to be a number of military tanks scattered around the central feature, as well as a bulldozer.
“There are several tanks that appear to be guarding the area,” the Twitter user wrote.
They added: “More weird stuff in the area. Looks like the skeleton of a plane and maybe some wreckage.”
Other users described the strange scenes as “spooky” and a “portal to hell”.

Another alarmed member of the public said: “What kind of portal to hell is this?”
But a more sceptical social media user noted: “Looks to be for farming. You see all kinds of places like that when flying over.”

And another questioned whether it was just a lagoon.
One person also suggested the tanks could be decommissioned military vehicles which are being used for target practice by USAF bombers.
