Mysterious Monolith found in Utah desert. Digital Sleuths Find Location

Two men working for the Utah Department of Public Safety were flying a helicopter to count sheep in the wilderness when they came across the monolith in a canyon likely near Moab, Utah.

Nobody is asking the obvious: Did this object come from another planet?

What is 10’ tall polished, made of a steel-like metal alloy, triangular and firmly planted into a canyon somewhere in Southeastern Utah? 

It’s a monolith that is now making national headlines. Two men working for the Utah Department of Public Safety were flying a helicopter to count sheep in the wilderness when they came across the object in a canyon likely near Moab, Utah. 

“It’s the strangest thing I’ve come across out there in all my years of flying.” Said Bret Hutchings. “ He compared it to the monolith found in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 Space Odyssey. “I’m assuming it’s some new wave artist or something. Or, you know somebody was a big ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ fan,” Hutchings said.

But different from Kubrick’s object — which in the film Kubrick said that he said it was a symbol for the dissemination of ideas and information to evolve the lifeforms in the universe— this object is shiny metal, but with a more matte finish.

The metal appears to be steel alloy and triangular from the top. Kubrick’s monolith was rectangular and black. 

If it was crafted on earth it was made by highly-trained, skilled professionals. The bevels on the sides show no weld marks and the difficulty in not only crafting the object but so firmly planting it into the canyon floor, would be a massive undertaking. 

Mysterious metal monolith discovered in rural Utah

The Bureau of Land Management has not commented as to if they plan to conduct studies on the object or bring in experts to examine the metal or the craftsmanship. But we would assume that an incident such as this would not be in the hand of the BLM to decide what, if anything should happen.

Gizmodo reports that since this discovery has gone viral digital sleuths were able to track down the flight paths of the pilots and find the object through Google Maps. The sleuths “found” the object south of Dead Horse Point near Moab. 

In the summer of 2017 HBO was filming the series Westworld in and around this same area. In Westworld portals that allowed characters to enter into the fictional worlds that had been designed (full of mean robots). The monolith might have been a prop from that series. 

Since the location of the object has been identified. It probably won’t be long until what the two officers were afraid of will happen. Somebody will go out and find the object and get lost, requiring a search and rescue. Maybe the aliens who installed the object will help those who get lost to find it.

  • Cottonwood Heights Corruption Allegations: A Case That Never Reached a Courtroom

    A year ago, we here at Utah Stories recorded a podcast episode that we never published. We were revisiting corruption allegations from ten years ago. We decided not to publish the video, so it sat there on YouTube for nearly 12 months.

    Then somehow the video was published. How? We are not sure, but once it got out there, the comments came pouring in.

    Dozens of viewers, then hundreds, supported the video with their comments on our examination of allegations of police misconduct in Cottonwood Heights. The video recounts how the Police Department was reported by business owners as focusing enforcement on customers of the former Canyon Inn bar. These allegations did not result in a publicly documented, full investigation by Utah’s Justice Department nor the FBI (at least to our knowledge). So why rehash the past?

    We believe the story of The Canyon Inn (and other area business owners) vs. CHPD and Cottonwood Heights Mayor Kelvin Cullimore raises questions about what can happen when allegations surface and do not move forward through a formal legal process with state or federal oversight.

    In 2012, Cottonwood Heights business owners at the mouth of the canyons began publicly objecting to police activity whereby up to seven cruisers were pulling over 711 and Canyon Inn bar customers on their busiest evenings.

    According to those accounts, drivers leaving the bar were frequently pulled over by police and were given DUI tickets, sometimes even after passing a sobriety examination. The volume and concentration of those stops led residents and business owners to complain about the “heavy-handed treatment” of CHPD toward motorists, especially in and around the Canyon Inn and neighboring 711, and eventually the Porcupine Pub.

    Customers responded in predictable ways. Some chose not to return and avoid the area. Others went to different establishments. Over time, the owner of the Canyon Inn, Jim Stojack, stated that his revenue declined by 70% and that he believed police activity near his business was the main contributing factor.

    Utah Stories reported on these concerns by conducting interviews; gathering video documentation provided by those involved; and making public records requests. Through our GRAMA requests, we reviewed DUI citations issued by the Cottonwood Heights Police Department and examined how those cases were resolved in Holladay Justice Court. During that period, we observed a higher number based on our review of DUI cases dismissed in court due to lack of evidence compared to other jurisdictions. One DUI attorney, Tyler Ayers, went on record saying that CHPD was issuing a high volume of DUI citations that were later dismissed.

    That observation raised questions about how cases were being documented and prosecuted. It did not, on its own, establish intent or misconduct, but it became part of a broader set of concerns raised by multiple sources.
