At first it was just a mysterious metal trail in the Utah desert: Discovered by rangers, shortly after dismantled at night. Since then they have been similar “Monolithen” also in Romania, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and the British Isle of Wight appeared and disappeared again. Recently one of the stelae has been erected in Sulzbach, Germany.
In the US, the object in Utah was first believed to be a secret legacy: a “Land Art” project by the American minimalist sculptor John McCracken. But he died in 2011. Meanwhile, the artist collective “The Most Famous Artist” wants to take over the action. All the other stelae almost certainly have featured funny imitators. Or aliens, as in Stanley Kubricks Science fiction film “2001: A Space Odyssey”.
The wake in the Hessian Taunus Sulzbach community It was last discovered on the edge of a field near a large shopping mall, as photos show. On Tuesday it was unclear who placed the 10-foot-tall column there, for what reason, and if there was a connection to the other stelae. “It was discovered by walkers on Saturday, we cannot explain the origin,” said a community spokesperson. The farmer in the field in Main-Taunus-Kreis had claimed he had nothing to do with it.
Since the discovery became known, the otherwise less frequented dirt road has been much busier than usual, but the monolith is not supposed to stay there for long, thanks to German thoroughness. “We will observe this for a maximum of three days. If it isn’t gone by then, we’ll have it removed “, said the community spokesperson. According to your impression, it is not a high quality material.
Residents of Isle of Wight he discovered the slim, mirrored structure by chance while strolling along the beach on the west side of the island, British media reported. The British Alexia Fishwick told the PA news agency that acquaintances took his photos of the monolith “really quite magical” for a Photoshop collage. “I’m not sure if it’s aliens, a Coldplay PR stunt, or a local mirror dealer trying to get his business up and running, but he lured us all to the beach.”islanders wrote DJ Rob da Bank On twitter.
Also in North Holland a metal column appeared. Walkers discovered them on Sunday morning in the De Kiekenberg nature reserve near Oudehorne in the northern province of Friesland.

Mayoress Maria Jesus Sanz but suspect that A neighbor’s joke behind the discovery, according to the newspaper “El Periódico”. The sheet metal structure erected in the ruins of a church is said to be very poor and has already been blown down several times by the wind. A message allegedly from the community was falsified that “hundreds of onlookers” had already arrived and that it was better to stay away from the column because of its “mysterious origin”. So far, only five neighbors have passed and they have laughed.
Even in a potato field in Dendermonde, Belgium According to media reports, a metal column was sighted in East Flanders. According to Belgian broadcaster VRT, the farmer who owns the field was called anonymously on Monday night and asked if someone could put something in his field.

In recent days, similar structures had already appeared in the US and Romania, with some of them disappearing only a few days later. That started a lot of speculation on social media.
