Coordinates posted to Google's Twitter account could provide clues to the meaning of the company's new crop circle logo

A new post on Google's Twitter feed has provided a clue for web users seeking to uncover the meaning behind the search giant's recent series of UFO-related Google doodles.

The Twitter message simply reads: "51.327629, -0.5616088", and links to an image of the crop circle logo on the Google homepage, showing the letter "L" being abducted by a flying saucer.

Web sleuths have found that the string of numbers is actually the latitude and longitude for Woodham Road in Woking, Surrey, sparking intense speculation about what the message could mean.

Diabolik posted one theory on Twitter: "The War of the Worlds (1898), by H. G. Wells, based in Horsell Common north of Woking, was an early science fiction novel which describes an invasion of England by aliens from Mars. It is one of the earliest and best-known depictions of an alien invasion."

"H.G. Wells birthday is Sept 21. This is a 'lead-up' as was Sept 5th logo," tweeted Joshgjohnson.

Another Twitter user, Rajeshshenoy, noted that on this day in 1985, a family in Surrey spotted two large, flying saucer-shaped objects in the sky.

The crop circle doodle has appeared online 10 days after Google revealed a new logo showing a flying saucer hovering over the word "Google", and "abducting" the letter "O" in the ship's tractor beam.

Today's doodle, which is currently only visible on Google's UK homepage, has been dismissed by some internet users as a publicity stunt for an upcoming film, while others believe the "abducted" letters will spell out the name of a new Google product or service.

Google has refused to comment on the rumours and speculation, saying only that the mystery of the doodles would be revealed
"in time". It also confirmed that its doodles were never used for commercial advertising, exploding the myth that the doodles could in some way be related to a film release.
