The monolith saga continues, as another glowing metal structure has mysteriously appeared on top of a mountain in California, days after similar features were seen in the Utah desert and Romania’s Piatra Neamt mountain region.
On Wednesday morning a monolith appeared atop Pine Mountain from Atascadero, a local newspaper. Atascadero News reported. Ray Johnson, a regular hiker to the top, told media that the statue was not at the top Tuesday. Dozens of hikers on the trail came across the unexplained column by the cliff and soon the photos flooded social media.

“The three-sided obelisk appeared to be made of stainless steel, 10 feet high and 18 inches wide. The object was welded at each corner, with rivets holding the side panels to a possible steel frame on the inside, ”the report says.

News of the third monolith comes as its two predecessors inexplicably disappeared from both sites, leaving many intrigued around the world to speculate what its origin might be and wondering if there is a possibility of extraterrestrial involvement. According to local reports, no one has been able to explain how the monolith got to Atascadero, much less how it reached the top of a 1,300-foot hill.
The reflective material used for the last monolith gives the obelisk a fascinating glow in the sun, as the picturesque Santa Lucia mountain range is visible on its side, making it popular with locals who are now rushing for photos and videos. .
Gary Lyons, a regular mountain runner and hiker, captured video of the tall stainless steel object. “I guess this is a thing now, right. Be prepared to see these everywhere, ”he posted.
Unlike the other two structures, the Californian monolith did not sit well on the ground and “could be knocked over with a firm push,” possibly seriously injuring hikers if it were to fall.
Local authorities are aware of this latest monolith, but as of now have no plans about it. “I found out a few minutes ago. I’ll have to check it out, ”said Atascadero Acting Mayor Charles Bourbeau. Mashable.
