What is this dome-shaped metallic thing I saw while walking around? (lemmy.world)

This picture was taken this summer in the south of France, in case it’s relevant. The area was on the side of a mountain (near a village) and had olive trees all around. Any idea?

In the grass, a dome-shaped object made out of metal strips, which are arranged radially so that they partially overlap. It’s large in circumference, but not tall. There’s a big “cross” of metal on top of it which seems to hold the thing together.

You’re right, I’ve never seen Lost. Was there something like that in it?

    There was a mysterious underground bunker or silo or something within which someone needed to enter a code every so often. It was a pretty big plot point and served to bring a lot of tension to the series, because what would happen if you didn't enter the numbers on schedule?

    SpoilerIt kept the monsters away or something. I don't fully remember, I watched it a long time ago.

    I believe it kept some magnetic disturbance in abeyance. I think it was the same thing that caused a bunch of them to go timeskipping for a while.

    I mean, eventually. In reality it was just more of Abrams magic box bullshit that didnt really mean anything and only served to be spooky-scary oooOOOOooo
