A strange triangular formation in the Nevada desert is fueling speculation that it may be the work of a long-lost ancient civilization.
Spotted on Google Earth, the structure is located in Battle Mountain, surrounded by sharp, jagged mountain ranges with deep valleys and ridges.
The structure is a large, sharply defined triangle clearly visible from above, with each side nearly straight, creating an almost perfect equilateral shape.
The center of the triangle is empty, though faint linear markings hint at past human activity.
An image of the formation and its coordinates, 40.35322, -117.34707, has flooded social media, where users suggested it could be ‘a lost man-made pyramid’ and are sure it is ‘very ancient.’
Others have proclaimed the triangle as a ‘universal Intergalactic warning sign.’
While the discovery has sparked wild theories, other social media users have shared a more realistic take, saying the structure is nothing more than remnants of an old airfield.
The formation closely matches the outline of the Buffalo Valley Intermediate Field, an emergency triangular airfield built in the 1930s to 1940s along early aviation routes.

In Nevada and other Western US deserts, triangular airfields were common in the 1930s and 1940s, serving early aviation needs such as mail routes and emergency landings.
