| Mysterious Monolith in Utah |
The mysterious metal monolith found on the remote desert of Utah in the Western United States -- which sparked theories about the alien-made installation last week-- is mysteriously gone without a trace less than 10 days after it was discovered.
But ... how does the monolith of Utah just disappear without a trace?
In general, this is a question that also has the authorities intrigued. It is known that the metal structure of more than three meters was deeply buried in the earth. For this reason, it is natural to imagine that uninstalling it could not have been an easy task.
According to what has been commented, it is suspected that a specialized cutting tool must have been used to be able to continue removing the monolith from its base. Beyond there, there is not much data on the logistics that could be used. What is clear is that Saturday morning arrived and the monolith was no longer there.
Now, as the Utah Land Management Office explained on its Facebook page, the monolith was removed by "an unknown party" last Friday night.
This Department has insisted that they have not been the ones who have removed the structure, "which is considered private property." They have also noted that this office "does not investigate crimes involving private property that are handled by the local sheriff's office."
Discovery
It was discovered in mid-November by local officials who were flying over the area in search of specimens of bighorn sheep. but "no obvious indication" of who might have put it there.
The triangular metal block was planted in the ground and its shiny surface contrasts with the red color of the large rock formations that surround it.
News of the find quickly went viral on the internet, and many noted the similarity of the object to the strange alien monoliths that unleashed huge advances in human progress in Stanley Kubrick's famous 1968 science fiction film "2001: A Space Odyssey."
The location of the monolith was not disclosed because authorities said they did not want onlookers to be stranded in a remote landscape and need to be rescued.
But people soon found it on satellite images dating back to 2016 and determined its GPS coordinates, prompting people to enter the area hidden in a red rock slot canyon south of Moab.
David Surber may have been one of the first to see the monolith in person. Surber enthusiastically shared the results of his visit. Among his findings: The monolith was neither magnetic nor solid (he said it sounded "like a cardboard box" when struck). He also shared step-by-step instructions for the trip to the monolith.
