<p>I was surfing on Google Maps satellite mode and I found these odd objects in northern Bolivia<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/uyeHq.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/uyeHq.jpg" alt="odd" /></a>. They look like turned-on TVs, but the largest of them has a length of about 48 yards!</p>
<p>Can anyone identify these? Maybe they are mirrors?</p>
