Mysterious metal monolith found in remote part of Utah by state officials counting sheep

A mysterious monolith has been discovered in a remote part of the United States.

 

The object, which is estimated to be around 10 to 12 feet tall and made of some type of metal, was found planted in the ground, tucked in a red rock cove.

 

It was spotted in Utah by state wildlife officials who were helping to count bighorn sheep from a Utah Department of Public Safety (DPS) helicopter.

 

"That's been about the strangest thing that I've come across out there in all my years of flying," pilot Bret Hutchings told local news channel KSL TV.

 

"One of the biologists is the one who spotted it and we just happened to fly directly over the top of it.

 

"He was like, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa, turn around, turn around!' And I was like, 'what'. And he's like, 'There's this thing back there - we've got to go look at it!'"

 

He went on: "We were kind of joking around that if one of us suddenly disappears, then the rest of us make a run for it.

 

"We were, like, thinking is this something NASA stuck up there or something. Are they bouncing satellites off it or something?"

 

He said it appeared to be man-made. Perhaps by "some new wave artist" or a "big fan" of the science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey, he added, referencing a scene in the movie.

 

In the 1968 Stanley Kubrick movie, a metal monolith is discovered in the desert by apes.

 

The DPS posted images and footage of the discovery on its website, and a person taking one of the videos can be heard saying: "

 

They add, laughing: "Who does this kind of stuff?... it's just wild."

 

After the DPS shared images of the structure on its social media channels, followers came up with their own theories.

 

One suggested it was a "space portal", another suggested the object was "probably left behind from a movie shoot".

 

Others joked "this is where you plug in the charger" and "I was wondering where the heck I left that".

Maybe they fell asleep and were dreaming.

So, did the apes run away when they heard the helicopter?

It's probably the hood from Thelma and Louise's car.

I wonder what would they find had they been counting crows...

Either photoshop or they were hallucinating.   Can we all see it from Google Earth?

Counting Desert Bighorns doesn't put you asleep like the little fluffy ones do, fact.

All it was missing was a group of apes fighting in the background and a jawbone flying through the air.

this one?

[nobodysfriend 4,216]

Aliens planted it there .

It is designed to control and brainwash the human population on this planet .

Once the humans disappeared and killed themselves due to their ongoing wars and pollution of their own environment , the aliens will come and take over the planet ...? 555555555555

It looks like a French public urinal.  You know, the ones where you have to indecently expose yourself in public just to have a wee...

"He was like and I was like and they were like........."

This monolith is, clearly, an alien's device for frying human brains. I suggest these wildlife counters wear their issue tinfoil hats when at work.

It's been sent to brainwash us into believing a virulent flu bug is going to wipe out the human race.

Will be interesting to see how far down it's been anchored and the weight of structure.
