Mysterious monolith appears in San Juan County
On November 18, the Utah Department of Public Safety Aero Bureau was working with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to conduct a count of big horn sheep in a portion of San Juan County.
While on this mission, they spotted an unusual object and landed nearby to investigate further. The crew members found a metal monolith installed in the ground in a remote area of red rock. The crew said there was no obvious indication of who might have put the monolith there.
The exact location of the installation is not being disclosed since it is in a remote area and if individuals were to attempt to visit the area, there is a significant possibility they may become stranded and require rescue.
It is illegal to install structures or art without authorization on federally managed public lands, no matter what planet you are from. The Bureau of Land Management is investigating further.
