The vast, unidentified shapes in Xinjiang and Gansu include kilometre-long reflective strips, blocks of silver squares, concentric circles radiating out hundreds of metres and a grid of tangled white lines that looks like a city layout minus the buildings.
While the guessing game continues on websites like Gizmodo, one certain thing they highlight is humanity's ability to redraw the landscape of even the most remote places.
It was once - inaccurately - believed that the Great Wall is the only man-made structure that could be seen with the naked eye from space. Today, we are now used to satellite images of widening mega cities, deforestation and increasingly tangled transport networks.
The latest images appear to show mining, power and military sites. Two of those under discussion are easily identifible.
Most of the images are in or close to Lop Nur, which was China's nuclear testing ground and remains a sensitive military area. Close up, there are clear signs of debris and this image and this one suggest either a silo has exploded or the area has been used for aerial target practice.
Relatively close by, the long blue strips look like runways. Harder to explain are the giant crazy-paving patterns (see also this one). Given the fact that previous Google Earth images showed China has replicated potential war zones in the desert - presumably for training - it is understandable that netizens have tried to map these on to the road networks of Washington DC. But their efforts are far from conclusive.
