Mysterious shiny monolith found in Utah desert

Mysterious shiny monolith found in otherworldly Utah desert

A crew from the Utah Department of Public Safety and Division of Wildlife Resources spotted the gleaming object from the air Nov. 18 and landed to check it out during a break from their work.

They found the three-sided stainless-steel object is about as tall as two men put together. But they discovered no clues about who might have driven it into the ground among the undulating red rocks or why.

They said it's not from another world.

“This thing is not from another world,” said Lt. Nick Street of the Utah Highway Patrol, part of the Department of Public Safety.

Still, it’s clear that it took some planning and work to construct the 10- to 12-foot (3- to 4-meter) monolith and embed it in the rock.

The exact location is so remote that officials are not revealing it publicly, worried that people might get lost or stranded trying to find it and need to be rescued.

The monolith evokes the one that appears in the Stanley Kubrick movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Because it’s on federal public land, it’s illegal to place art objects without authorization.

Bureau of Land Management officials are investigating how long it’s been there, who might have created it and whether to remove it.

It does seem that it would be an odd thing to find in the middle of nowhere.

I wonder who put it there and why.

Come on. We all know it was the primates.

I sincerely hope that whoever put it there remains anonymous and that they have successfully eliminated all clues and evidence of not only who they are, but how they got it there.

Come on. We all know it was the primates.

You're right. I'm sure that the primates had something to do with it. Those primates can be rather mischievous.

It appears to be triangular shaped, so not a 2001 etc. monolith at all.

Dang.

Wait, if they don't know where it came from, how do they know it's not from another world?

2020 would be perfectly rounded out by discovery of aliens. So at this point I rule out nothing lol.

This sounds like a Mediaeval newspaper report.

Look at that shiny metal thing that we don't know what it is! It's the magic again.
