It concerns an invention; one in international use and not distinctively American in character.

It commemorates an event which took place in 1903. This event has influenced the course of modern warfare.

Hmm - strange.
Must be huge. Strange coloring. Too big and too much in the middle of nowhere to be assumed an edifice. And so circular - seems almost unnatural.
I'll try with - a frozen crater lake?

Arecibo Radio Telescope...for Radio Astronomy mainly..deep space listening device also.. Have a big one in Green Bank West Virginia (may be largest in world). I drive by it on my way home to see my family and it is about 80 miles from where I was born and raised..

I thought that Arecibo was the biggest--I could be wrong though.

NO, did some checkin and the one at Green Bank is 100 meters in diameter, but the one at Arecibo is 305 meters...so your right, it is the largest... They have a whole field full of smaller ones at Green Bank, the the one built in 2000 is breathtaking..My youngest son and I found a gate open by the elementary school in Green Bank one day in 1999 and drove down it about a mile and the Big one that was being rebuilt (because it fell down) was almost complete..I took pictures of my son standing underneath it and left. In my rear view, we saw flashing red lights and thought nothing about it..when we came back by two days later, the gate was closed (as it always was) with hugh classified territory-no admittance type signs everywhere...saying violators will be prosecuted...etc... but....they do have tours of it (legally).. ;D
