Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any stranger, the Utah Department of Public Safety Aero Bureau announced in a press release it has discovered a metal monolith “installed in the ground” in a remote area of a southeastern Utah desert.
The “unusual object,” standing tall amid the red rock, was spotted as officers with the DPS Aero Bureau were working with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to conduct a count of bighorn sheep in the area, according to the press release.
Pilot Bret Hutchings told NBC affiliate KSL-TV that they were flying over the area when they happened to notice the metal object.
“One of the biologists is the one who spotted it,” Hutchings recalled to the outlet. “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!'”
“That’s been about the strangest thing that I’ve come across out there in all my years of flying,” he added.
