Mystery of Utah's disappearing monolith explained

Visitors to Utah’s mysterious obelisk left behind human waste, scarred the land

(Photo courtesy of the Bureau of Land Management) A triangular hole in the ground and a piece of metal are all that remains of the mysterious Utah "obelisk," which disappeared Friday.

 As mysteriously as it came, the world-famous Utah obelisk illegally installed in a San Juan County redrock slot canyon disappeared Friday night, the Bureau of Land Management confirmed. Photos show that whoever removed the sculpture left only a triangular hole and a piece of metal — but the many visitors who flocked to the remote site over the week of Thanksgiving also left evidence of their journeys behind.

On Sunday, the BLM said in a news release that people “parked on vegetation and left behind human waste” when visiting the undeveloped site, which is not equipped with a designated parking lot or restrooms. Photos the agency tweeted Sunday show where the shining steel pillar once stood, as well as a group of vehicles parked off a dirt road in sagebrush, the red landscape scarred by crisscrossing tire tracks, and what could be a piece of toilet paper sticking out of the ground.

Driving off designated roads and trails in the Monticello Field Office is illegal, the BLM also said.

As mysteriously as it arrived, a metal monolith that was discovered last week by Utah public safety workers is now gone, officials said on Saturday.

The three-sided metal structure was removed on Friday evening “by an unknown party” from the public land it was found on, the federal Bureau of Land Management’s Utah office said in a statement.

The bureau said it had not removed the monolith, which it considers “private property.”

The Utah Department of Public Safety said on Monday that it had found the object while surveying for bighorn sheep.

“IT’S GONE!” the Department of Public Safety said, reacting to the news in an Instagram post. “Almost as quickly as it appeared it has now disappeared,” the department said, adding, “I can only speculate” that aliens took it back, using the emoji for extraterrestrials.
