Aliens or Art?

A strange metal monolith has been discovered in the Utah desert by a helicopter crew, leaving local authorities baffled.

Wildlife officials spotted the "unusual" object while counting sheep during a flyover in a remote south-eastern area of the US state.

They said the structure had been planted in the ground between red rock.

There was no indication who installed the monolith, which was about 10 to 12ft (3.6m) tall.

In an interview with local news channel KSLTV, the helicopter pilot, Bret Hutchings, said: "That's been about the strangest thing that I've come across out there in all my years of flying."

Sounds like a prank to me.

A very expensive prank! How it got there, without no one noticing is quite a logistical achievement!

They could have been more creative. It's ugly.

Not near Skinwalker Ranch in Utah is it? I recently watched a TV program about all the strange things that goes on around there, paranormal stuff, including seeing UFOs and so forth.

If I ever build a house with a pier and beam floor. I'd like to bury a realistic looking plastic or fiber glass skeleton under the floor as a prank for the next owner.

Here you go Bobby. The monolith in Utah disappeared and another one has popped up in Romania.

It’s enough to make any sci-fi buff ponder the existence of extra-terrestrial life, and to prompt sceptics to remind everyone it’s a likely stunt.

Either way, it’s captured the world’s imagination.

After the mysterious appearance of a monolith in the United States - another one of the strange columns has turned up on the other side of the globe, this time in Romania.
