Help me identify this component...

P.S. I notice you're in New Mexico and discovered this on a hike.
There are a lot of US government installations in the desert in Nevada
and New Mexico that no doubt have interesting sensors and such like
around them. The (high speed interstate-quality but unmarked) road
leading to Groom Lake, for example, has some "cactus" plants in the
open areas that are unlike those in surrounding areas. Perhaps it is a
people (urine, movement etc.) sensor for detecting bad guys.

This sound the most logical so far. I read the original doc, but don't
recall is he has tried X-Rays - they should show something if its a
contemporary artifact.
