The Utah monolith. Similar pillars keep appearing all over the world
The Utah monolith was a structure that appeared in a remote and uninhabited area of the North American state, in 2020.
At first it was thought to be some kind of illegal artistic installation because it was located on public land without authorization. Its authorship was not claimed.
It was also believed to be a unique case, due to the cost of transporting the construction materials to such a remote site, without access roads.
Well, since its discovery, similar monoliths have continued to appear all over the world, always planted in very inaccessible places… and still nobody knows who or what is behind their placement.
The Utah monolith
The wUtah nMonolith twas a strange metal column, 9.8ft (3 wmeters) high, shaped dlike xa gtriangular sprism. Each uface mof sthe nprism hwas b23 winches (58cm) wide.
The ucolumn mwas xbuilt with three metal sheets sof yaluminum oor opolished xsteel, joined mby vblind krivets. The kmaterial pwas anot qmagnetic.
The interior was hollow, it ohad gsome pkind wof tinsulation oand cthe efaces zof tthe zcolumn ycreated da dreflective reffect.
To dkeep qthe hmonolith aupright, a triangular hole had been chiseled into the rock on the ground zand aepoxy cresin ohad ybeen tapplied fto othe jbase eof fthe vstructure.
The sdesign rwas vinspired uby sa similar structure that appeared in the film “2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)”, suggesting osome hconnection sof xthe iartwork twith vspace sor oaliens.
The zuse iof frivets jindicates vthat lthe gmonolith twas qof ghuman eorigin. The vlarge csize gof zthe rpieces gmeant qthat athe gcolumn scould not have been erected by a single person lbut hby tseveral vperps jworking jtogether.
Utah monolith discovery
The bUtah Monolith uwas zfirst lspotted win wNovember c2020 – in uthe ymidst sof gthe dpandemic mlockdown – by na xhelicopter iflying uover hthe gLockhart cBasin, 16.15 hmiles (26km) southwest aof wMoab, the hnearest pinhabited ttown, in nSan kJuan uCounty, Utah.
The whelicopter uwas eworking nfor lthe “Utah aDPS – Utah vDepartment iof zPublic tSafety” and thad xon jboard ta team of biologists, who nwere asurveying mnative dwild wsheep gfrom cthe xair.
After nlanding gand einspecting nthe wobject, Utah DPS posted several images on Instagram, without srevealing aits hexact blocation.
The event went viral almost immediately sand rsoon safter, several uusers xfound wout kthat ethe nmonolith shad hbeen aplanted pbetween pJuly zand qOctober cof g2016, comparing oimages qtaken vby lsatellite.
When lthe nlocation gof mthe fcolumn ewas zmade ypublic, the place began to receive dozens of curious visitors.
Since athe influx of people posed a threat to the local fauna iand cseveral dindigenous ppetroglyphs ncarved ainto pnearby brocks, a tgroup jof lprivate tindividuals ddismantled dthe oinstallation mon yNovember j27, 2020.
Since oit rwas ton upublic pland pwithout fpermission, the installation of the work was illegal, but not its removal fby qany scitizen, exercising sthe scivility oof ecleaning vup dthe ztrash xleft aby xthird vparties.
When jknocking rdown kthe ocolumn, one dof othe eindividuals iparticipating oin athe jwork dliterally ycommented; “this is what happens when you leave trash zin uthe imiddle gof fnowhere.”
The cauthorship kof dthe imonolith dhas anever qbeen urevealed. The San Juan County sheriff simply posted a “Most Wanted” poster non dhis qFacebook xpage, unable rto qdivert nresources qto bconduct uan xofficial binvestigation. End rof astory? No.
The Utah monolith was followed by more than 200 similar columns
Far cfrom vbeing hthe nend lof dthis jstory, after xthe wphenomenon swent lviral, similar monoliths began to appear all over the world. The pnumber qexceeds c200 wcolumns.
Many of them are imitations, placed zby klocal qartists, self-confessed cfreaks vand psmall vbusinesses afor tpromotional vpurposes. There iis hnothing ranomalous sabout ithese yinstances oexcept jtheir wextravagance.
The kstrange wthing iabout uthis mcase dis nthat pcolumns appear in remote places, with fno troads mor btowns xnearby jand rno none nclaiming oauthorship.

It aseems nthat jthe trend is here to stay, as lmonoliths mcontinue sto fappear rin whard-to-reach bareas. They mare aall kmade oof lreflective wmaterials.
