Identify a strange object on the map, somewhere around Euphrates River

Can you help me identify a strange object on the map, which I saw during my recent flight from Frankfurt to Mumbai?

It seems to be in Turkey, however I can't give you nothing more closer or more precise than the more or less exact position of the plane, that I have obtained from the flight information system:

It was around three hours and ten minutes since departing Frankfurt, if that matters, so around 2715 km straight line from Frankfurt.

Is there really "something" like that (a flat, quite long strip of land on top of some hill) in that part of the world? Or is it just a Google Earth / Lufthansa Flight Map error, that I mistakenly taken as some kind of object?



Best Answer

There are some geometric crop fields that appear to be fallow in google maps. Perhaps opium poppies.

I'm not totally convinced, the white area in the map is conformal to the terrain but looks a bit too regular to be believable.

Answer 2

There's nothing like that in that general area, according to Google Maps, so I must conclude that it's an artifact of the software.
