Cosmo 163 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55056570 Quote A strange metal monolith has been discovered in the Utah desert by a helicopter crew, leaving local authorities baffled. Wildlife officials spotted the "unusual" object while counting sheep during a flyover in a remote south-eastern area of the US state. They said the structure had been planted in the ground between red rock. There was no indication who installed the monolith, which was about 10 to 12ft (3.6m) tall. In an interview with local news channel KSLTV, the helicopter pilot, Bret Hutchings, said: "That's been about the strangest thing that I've come across out there in all my years of flying." Well... This is weird. Saw it crop up on a few oddball sites yesterday so didn't think too much about it... But today it's on BBC and some others. What do you suppose this is? Someone's art, or is 2020 now the year we make contact? 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmo 163 Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Zooming in some, it looks like there's saw marks in the rock at the base: Could just be cracks or something else though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulaJedi 657 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) They need to do forensics. Look for footprints and other evidence to determine if a human simply placed it there. I do hope they leave it alone. Edited November 25, 2020 by PaulaJedi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PaulaJedi 657 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Is anyone studying it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulaJedi 657 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I read that some bikers or hikers or tourists of some sort removed it. WTH.... Can't we have something mysterious without some moron destroying it? I considered it art, something quirky to talk about, and some environmentalist says it is littering. So tired of people.
