The third enigmatic monolith emerged, now in California
First Utah, then Romania, now California. In a short time, three monoliths have appeared in natural landscapes. It is not entirely clear who placed them there. Two of the objects have now disappeared again.
The mysterious metallic trail in Utah has now disappeared. Now there are new sightings: in California and even in Romania. They are prosaic there. That’s “just an old junk”.
meIn fact, the Utah Public Safety Agency wanted to count sheep, bighorn sheep that live in the desert regions of the state.
What they later found with their helicopter looks more like something out of a science fiction novel: a metallic monolith – shiny, almost four meters high – in the middle of remote and inaccessible terrain full of stones and craters, framed by rocks. red.
The news of the discovery of this “unusual object” spread quickly and caused speculation around the world. A few days later, the spine suddenly disappeared and the mystery only increased.
Just a few weeks after the mysterious find in Utah, there is now another object, this time in California. According to local media reports, the gleaming metallic stele is found on Pine Mountain, near the town of Atascadero. “The three-sided obelisk appears to be made of stainless steel, ten feet high and 18 inches wide. The object was welded at each corner, with the rivets holding the side walls to the presumed steel frame on the inside ”, quoted the British“ Guardian ”of the“ Atascadero News ”.
Much has been speculated about the first object: was the pillar perhaps erected in the fall of 2016, as Internet search engines claim to have recognized from satellite images? Is it an homage to the sci-fi movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which a similar object plays a role? Just kidding.Are there even aliens behind this, as some people speculate on the internet?

Or is it the work of an artist, maybe even a well-known artist, like sculptor John McCracken? The American, who died in 2011, had lived and worked not too far in New Mexico for a long time and made very similar independent objects in the shape of pyramids, cubes or polyhedra.
The star gallery owner got involved and retired again
David Zwirner, the owner of a star German gallery in New York representing McCracken’s heritage, initially felt strongly reminiscent of the artist’s work when he saw the images in the stele. “Of course, the piece is by McCracken,” he told the “New York Times,” but after taking a closer look, he changed his mind.
“I love the idea that it is a work of John,” Zwirner said according to a message that is available to the German press agency. “But if you look closely at the photos of the monolith, you see rivets and screws that don’t match the way John wanted his work to be built. He was a perfectionist. ” However, the stela is a “wonderful tribute” to McCracken.
The mysterious piece has now disappeared from Utah. “By unknown party” has been removed, as announced by the local authority. Initially, the background was unclear. Witnesses claim to have seen four men dismantle it and transport it. The appropriate San Juan County Sheriff’s Department has initiated investigations.
In Romania they joke about old scrap
Meanwhile, reports have emerged of a similar monolith in northern Romania. He stood on the top of a hill and left a few days later. “The monolith disappeared on November 30, as mysteriously as it appeared,” Jurnal FM radio station reported Tuesday.
Local broadcaster ziarpiatraneamt.ro posted the video of a man making fun of the property on the site. It’s “just an old junk that someone has put in here.” Facebook user Alexandru was equally critical: “We are not even able to imitate something correctly.”
