Utah Monolith: Mysterious Silver Monolith Disappears in the Desert


The agency said in a Facebook post that the monolith was removed by an unidentified party on Friday night.

“We have received credible reports that the illegally established structure has been removed from BLM’s public lands as ‘monolith’,” the Post said.

The monolith was discovered on November 18 by officials from the Utah Department of the Aero Bureau of Public Safety.

They were flying by helicopter, helping the Division of Wildlife Resources count the Byron sheep in southeastern Utah when they discovered something called “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

“One of the biologists … found it, and we just flew straight to the top of it,” pilot Brett Hutchings told CNN-affiliated KSL. “It was like, ‘Oh, yes, hoha, turn, turn!’ And I was like ‘Vote.’ And it’s like, ‘This thing is back there – we have to go see it!’ ”

And it was there – in the middle of the red rock a shiny, silvery metal monotony was sticking out of the ground. Hutchings estimated it to be “between 10 and 12 feet.” It doesn’t look like it was left random on the ground, it was KSL. Said, but it seemed to have been planted.

“I’m assuming it’s a new wave artist or something or, you know, someone who was a big fan (” 2001: A Space Odyssey “),” he said, referring to a scene from a 1968 film. Where a black monolith appears.

The Utah DPS said in a statement released Monday that it is illegal to install structures or art on public land without authority.

Where is he

The location of the monolith was not disclosed as officials said they did not want the magistrates to be trapped in a remote landscape and need to be rescued.
But of course, that doesn’t stop some. Many people have already successfully located the monolith in the Redrock Slot Valley south of Moab.

The track was driven by darkness on rocky terrain and GPS coordinates were checked, according to three people who went to see it. At least one researcher was initially lost. But the trip was worth it, they said, even if monotony was not the work of aliens.

The David Serber guy may be among the very first people to see loneliness. The coordinates of the monologue were circulating on Reddit, but no user could confirm that they were true. Serber volunteered to find out.

The coordinates were indeed correct, and Serber eagerly shared the results of his visit with 200 Reddit users who flooded his inbox. In his findings: The monolith was not magnetic or solid (he said that when he hit it hard, it “looks like a cardboard bix”). He also shared step-by-step instructions for driving out on a monolith.

“At the end of the day, created by the outside world or artistic expression; this monolith provided an opportunity for thousands of people to rally behind something positive again,” he told CNN in an email. “It was a good defense against any negativity we experienced in 2020.”
