Weird structure in Mongolia w strange light beam

Found this on Google Earth. Building appears to have some sort of light coming from a circular area on the side of the building. The light could be shining on the building from across the street there but it looks strange nonetheless.

The coordinates are:

49°38'11.84"N
100°10'8.13"E

weeeird if i let my imaginination run with it, it almost looks like a saucer shaped ufo shooting out a beam of light... where is this location at? I know Mongolia but anything special about it? Military?

the name of the town is "Moron" lol...

I have no idea; I was checking out this youtube link in Earth and just decided to search around myself a bit.

www.youtube.com...

Very strange though. You can also see a small building to the east giving off the same kind of light. Possibly an image malfunction? The light looks very pixelated.

Could it be just a dome reflecting sunlight?
my 2 cents anyway...

Domes are a big part of Mongolian architecture, from yurts to monasteries.

The light "beam" is a digitial artifact called blooming.
Blooming

I see what you're saying Phage, it's just that the point where the beam hits the structure has a clear circular pattern on the dome. Also, would blooming happen with a multi-million dollar imaging satellite?

Man that is weird looking isn't it.
No wonder its north of the town of Moron
It looks to be a tear in the picture most likely.

Here's another two by me......... (cents)

That's the top of a temple reflecting sunlight. The cone shape is an anomaly because of the brightness.

most possibly blooming as dear phage suggested...
Notice the spot on the dome matches correctly the shadow cast by the dome itself
also the other thing lower in the picture reflected light too, thus creating this band-streak of light-connecting those two bright spots.

I guess under the correct circumstances even the most expensive sattelite blooms over..... we are seeing enough lately so to say(metaphor)

By the way, we live through much more amazing coincidences for this to even remotely be thought as hard to happen. After all sattelites are just another piece of technology that after little time is largelly outdated......


that was the rest of my wallet there......
(the ace is in my sleeve so no worries)

Thanks for the comments guys, interesting nonetheless

The blocky "streaming" part appears to be a part of the map that wasn't scanned to complete the image.

The glare at center is, no doubt, a reflection of the Sun on a dome, or of the Moon if it were taken near dusk.

Here's a much less stark photo of Moron, Mongolia from the air with the dome circled:




And the Google Earth image oriented to approximate the above photo:
