Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 If you select the object, what does Properties show?  Can you share your file? I would like to see if this is a map insertion/location point or something else.

It is called a geomarker. The geomarker is used to geo-reference, or position, entities in modelspace. References include, but are not limited to, State Plane or latitude/longitude. Imagine that modelspace is a flat, as opposed to a curved or spherical, representation of the earth's surface and the drawing entities that you create, insert or paste into modelspace will need a reference point to play against. The geomarker is created in Map 3D/Civil 3D when a coordinate system is 'assigned' such as when using MAPCSASSIGN command. 

To turn it off, type GEOMARKVISIBILITY on command line then enter 0 for OFF (or 1 for ON).

Geomarker symbol shown in red.
