You've probably heard about the metal monolith left in the Utah desert earlier this month. State wildlife officials stumbled across it whilst doing an airborne big horn sheep count. Officials believe it had been there for some time. And while they tried to keep the location secret, internet sleuths managed to find out where it was, and started flocking to the site, despite requests not to do so.
Over the weekend, officials say, it was removed, leaving this:
Just a stone cairn marking the spot where it stood. No one knows who removed it. State officials deny taking it down, so my guess is the people who first put it up also took it down.
What purpose it served, how they managed to get it to the remote part of the desert, and why, are all questions that remain unanswered. Whoever was responsible may decide to come forward in the future. I kind of hope they don't. We all need an imponderable every now and then.
