The mysterious monolith found a week ago in the Utah desert is now gone. How and who managed to take it away remains unknown.
Do you remember the news from about a week ago about the mysterious metal monolith found in the Utah Desert? Well, guess what – the artifact has now disappeared without a trace!
The find, reminiscent of an alien structure, was made by Utah Public Safety officials during a helicopter flight over the desert as part of a bighorn sheep count mission in the southeastern state.
The authorities refused to disclose the exact location of the monolith, but people were able to find it two days after it became known from the media.
The American press noted that the object discovered in the desert is similar to the alien obelisk from Stanley Kubrick’s movie “A Space Odyssey 2001”, except that it is not black, but silver.
Authorities began investigating the site’s origins, and the state land administration announced the installation was illegal. However, the bureau said they did not remove the monolith.
Here’s what we know about the mysterious monolith
Here is something curious. The internet investigators which we all love and respect found something incredible on Google Earth. As it appears, the monolith had been standing in its place in the Utah Desert since around 2015.
This, of course, would have made it more difficult to find any trace of the author/creator of the artifact. In each case, picking up a trail right now is already impossible since the monolith is gone.
As I already mentioned, the bureau denies any involvement in the disappearance of the structure. According to a spokesman for the department, Kimberly Finch, the monolith was removed by an “unknown party” on the evening of November 27. Where the structure was installed, only a small recess in the ground and a triangular steel sheet, which previously crowned the top of the monolith, remained.
Colorado resident Riccardo Marino told a local news publication that he was on his way to the monolith on November 27. However, while driving towards the location, he saw a truck moving away from the place where the object was transporting something large at about 22:40. He did not specify who was driving the truck, however, when he arrived at the place, the monolith had already disappeared.
