OBSERVATIONS

This object treads the fine line where the viewing angle, coupled with small stones laying in the foreground of the object, may be conspiring towards some 'eye-trickery'.

However, the image clarity is good, and the distinct angular features and smooth character of the object suggesting a flat surface, makes it clearly stand out when compared to the granular nature of the stones in its vicinity...
