“Wow, turn around a bit”

On the 18th (local time) in the desert of Utah, western United States. State officials conducting environmental investigations by helicopter found an unexpected object flashing in the middle of the desert.

When I landed nearby, this object was a triangular pillar that was 3.6m tall and made of smooth metal.

As it is not yet clear what this pillar is and who has brought it to this point, speculation is rampant on social media, AFP and the Associated Press reported on the 24th.

When officials landed nearby, the pillar was anchored to the ground. However, there were no tracks or car wheel tracks around, so it was said that it was impossible to know who installed them or how.

Authorities jokingly issued a warning that day, saying: “It is illegal to place facilities on the commons of the federal government without permission.”

There are various speculations on social media about the identity of the pillar.

In particular, this pillar is attracting the attention of movie fans because it resembles the alien sculptures from American film director Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 Space Odyssey.

On the other hand, jokes circulate that “there will be a vaccine there” considering the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

However, an official drew a line that read: “This pillar is not material from another world.” At present, authorities speculate that it is likely an art sculpture.

As curiosity grew, the ‘Citizen Investigation Team’ appeared, beginning to track the position of the pillar.

However, authorities have decided not to reveal the exact location where the pillar was found. It is feared that people will get lost after reaching the desert to see the pillars.
