Mysterious monolith in Utah wilderness
I'm sorry, I just can't help myself. 2020 the year that just keeps giving. https://edition.cnn.com/style/article/utah-monolith-art-trnd/index.html?utm_source=twCNN&utm_medium=social&utm_term=video&utm_content=2020-11-24T20%3A11%3A24

I saw that article too and wondered about it! How could anybody install something that size out in the middle of nowhere without a small army of workmen? Somebody has got to know about it.
But you are right about 2020--this has got to be the strangest year I have lived through, and the strangeness just won't stop!
-
I came across the same article and thought, I can’t handle any more!!! I can’t look! LOL
-
We have the Georgia Guidestones here is Georgia. I remember when people first found them. No one knew who put them up or why. I'm including an article but who knows if it's true. I've heard a lot of different things about it from many different people.
-
I read the utah article today too! Interesting.
The georgia article is interesting too. Some good advice :)
-
Wow, you just don't know what's going to turn up in 2020. Such a strange year.
-
Planet of the Apes was my first thought. Not that it was happening, but it was like the movie. I think it's probably a part that fell off or out of some type of air plane, space ship, or satellite.
-
A number of comments elsewhere thought a star trec episode.
-
Update...It's gone?! https://news.yahoo.com/mysterious-monolith-us-desert-reportedly-045950035.html This just got weirder.
-
@VickiP and weirder and weirder 🤣
-
At least this is a non-harmful weirdness for 2020.
-
Why do I think this "event" began with the words, "Hey Vern... hold my beer... I got an idea."?
-
Can 2020 please end already?!?!?
-
News Flash!!! It's back....in Romania! https://www.deseret.com/u-s-world/2020/11/30/21726590/utah-monolith-romania-photos?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=deseretnews&utm_campaign=twitter

Any theories as to what it is and who put it there? I have only read some outlandish theories about these being placed by aliens to monitor earth movements and that they are usually "cloaked" :-)
-
Did anyone else notice that the articles about it being it being found and disappearing in Utah say that the location was never disclosed to keep people away, but the article about it showing up in Romania says that a bunch of tourists were flocking to see it in Utah before it disappeared. 🤔
-
Must be nice to have that kind of time and money!
-
In my opinion an interesting hoax. Too clean and shiny to have been there for very long. The one in Romania looks more weathered
-
The one in Romania looks more hand made. It has the loopy lines from being polished and the corner welds are quite obvious.
-
Quite weird, who has the time to do such things?
-
Hadn't heard about this😐
-
-
So now you have to wonder did they put it there too. Or were tehy just cleaning up someone else's mess they considered to be an eyesore? LOL
-
Me...I'm on lockdown. 🤣
Edit after reading the article: Aw, bummer. Someone else took credit before I could.
-
It looks like the one in Romania is smaller than the one found in Utah
-
One has now popped up in California.
-
@Michelle D Thank you for the follow up news report on the dismantling of the monolith..
-
It seems like sooo much trouble to go to for a prank or even an art installation. But I can't even think of another explanation
.
-
This just gets crazier! Another one: https://observer.com/2020/12/california-monolith-removed-by-racist-group-of-men/ The story points out it has been destroyed.
-
The monolith mystery solved....

@judsoncarroll4 YES! That's exactly what I thought, too. Someone shared that article with me and my first thought was that someone was having some fun and has been sitting around for a few years just waiting for someone to "discover" this.
@MaryRowe you're right about the small army of workmen, but really, there is so much isolated, middle-of-nowhere land in Utah that I think people could have pulled it off pretty easily.
