You tell me 'cause I don't know. In Black & White it looks like something from a 1950's SCI FI film

It may be a transformer, watch if it changes into a Buick or something! I like the B&W, weird but cool.

Definitely some type of alien crafts that have attached themselves to irrigation well heads. They only come out at night. I know because I saw a movie like this back in the late 50's.

I really think you are onto something here.

The original shots are quite intriguing...and well done. A good find. I don't much care to know what they are - they look good without knowing.

Looks to be a Byron-Jackson sump pump with a rain shield over the motor.

One Last Image Manipulation

Shot from the moon..........
Ya, it is some kind of water pumping thing. This area used to be part of a huge ranch and grazing area. I remember some cattle and sheep (at different times) grazing around here. Mostly homes now!
