Google Maps users were shocked to find a huge 'bomb target' that can be seen from space in the US.
Reddit user u/patchesandbrownie shared the find to the subreddit r/GoogleMaps claiming to have found the bullseye in South Dakota using the satellite view feature.
The original poster wrote: "Found what seems to be an old bomb target in South Dakota – 1450 ft wide."
They later corrected their measurements to over 2,000ft after posting the coordinates of the astonishing find as 43°39'17"N 102°19'55"W.
The post fascinated Reddit users as they give it 89 upvotes and speculated whether it was used for nuclear weapons testing or by NASA.
One user said: "I guess it was for nuclear testing."
Another added: "I think this is for calibrating targeting systems on satellite weapons to eradicate the giant roach people. But I could be wrong."
A third wrote: "Looks like they missed the target."
