This is kind of fun...


UTAH (ABC4) — A strange discovery in a remote area of Utah has been captivating many over the last few days. The find is so odd that even the Utah Department of Public Safety made a tongue-in-cheek reference to its otherworldly possibilities.

While assisting the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources in a count of bighorn sheep in southeastern Utah, the Utah Department of Public Safety Aero Bureau spotted a metal monolith in a remote area of red rock.

Aunt: He thought he was shooting at an “alien”
The crew immediately landed nearby to investigate the mysterious object further.

Crew members report there was no evidence indicating who or what could have placed the monolith in such a challenging area to access.

Due to the monolith having been placed in a very remote area that could lead to visitors possibly getting stranded and requiring rescue, officials are not revealing the exact location of the discovery.

According to the Department of Public Safety, “It is illegal to install structures or art without authorization on federally managed lands, no matter what planet you’re from.”

Mysterious findings and intrigue are not uncommon in Utah. Over the summer, new photographs of Area 51 were made public, offering angles of the mysterious base taken from northwest of the base looking southeast. The new angles are rarely, if ever, publicly seen angles of the Groom Lake area.

For as long as humans have lived in the Uintah Basin, they’ve been seeing strange things in the sky. In the 1970s, Utah State professor Frank Salisbury wrote a well-documented book about hundreds of UFO sightings in the basin.

But the strangeness goes way beyond mystery aircraft. For 15 generations, indigenous tribes, including the Utes, have referred to this sandstone ridge as being “in the path of the skinwalker.” They consider the skinwalker a malevolent spirit and a shapeshifter.

I saw that earlier, someone is having some fun. I'd do crap like that if I had enough disposable income.

Big piece of scrap metal and a shovel...

Almost as good as the guy who dropped off an intact and full size deer heart in one of those "wash your car with a wand" type places' stall.

Police tape, investigators, reporters, the whole shebang.

So, yer sayin' it was "Illegal Aliens"...

Proportions are all wrong. It's supposed to be 1 x 4 x 9.

Agreed and w-a-y too reflective. Should be the blackest of black.

Mudd left it. It's full of tribbles.

Curious as to the composition of that piece? After watching the report, I see it's three sided and must weight a LOT as they think it's solid.

Sorry, that’s part of my sun worship equipment. Must have forgotten to load it in the trailer before leaving. It was dark and I was still high on peyote. Did you see the size of that chicken?

Zoom in...you can see screw holes or rivets.

So do aliens use metric screws? Or American std?

My initial thought it was an old pay phone panel stand..

Above ground time capsule..

Stanley Kubrick’s ghost did it.

The Coast to Coast Skin Walker ranch crowd are going to have a field day with this story.





So are we taking bets on what this thing is or where it came from? I'm going with a large pop-out temperature probe so the aliens know when the earth and earthlings are done cooking and ready to be eaten.

Alternately:

I bet we find out it was an Eagle Scout Community Project or something. . . .

And just as quickly it was gone.......

Or 1 squared by 2 squared by 3 squared.
One way is from an original edition of the book
and the other is the movie, perhaps.

So somebody had some fun. The Feds that own the land took 5 full years to find it, and now they want to remove it because they can't have taxpayers having fun on "their" land. Makes you start to hate our betters that "own" the land.

Oldest son took about 15 minutes to find it on google earth. Of course its not fair because we've scratched around Lockhart basin for the last 35 or so years. So he sent his best friend the location, to which the friend said "lets go".
