  Done! I hope they can act fast.

    There has been a response in another ticket that they're harmless markers that have been around for a while, but it's hard to tell if they actually went through the data to confirm it. https://support.google.com/maps/thread/152846276?hl=en https://support.google.com/maps/thread/152846276?hl=en

      That’s not an official response and, honestly, I doubt they went through every single data point to check whether they existed before this week or not. If I were an idiot planning to use a public product for classified opsec activities, the least I would do is try and make them blend in with existing data to reduce the chances of it being removed for just this purpose.
