This is already one of the most confusing events of the past few months.

In the past few days, a mysterious metal structure was found in the middle of the Utah desert. It has gained attention on social media, and some think this could be a sign of aliens. This ten-foot-tall thing that looks like a thick metal pole is bringing up lots of questions on the internet.

This mysterious structure was found on November 18th by the Utah Department of Public Safety. They were simply looking around the area and stumbled upon the structure.

In the past few days, another metal monolith has been found in Romania. What does this mean? I have no idea. Is it the same one from Utah? I have no idea. Nobody knows for sure what exactly is going on here. Despite lot of curiosity, people are advised against trying to go find this structure in the desert.

Spokeswoman Kimberly Finch says, “Although we can’t comment on active investigations, the Bureau of Land Management would like to remind public land visitors that using, occupying, or developing the public lands or their resources without a required authorization is illegal, no matter what planet you are from”.

Another mysterious monolith has been discovered in Romania.

This thing was obviously put there by something, and curious people online are trying to figure out the origins. One popular theory is that this is a sign of aliens. Of course, there is no proof of this, but it is something that people are starting to believe as more made-up rumors are spread around.

Another theory is that this is an art installation. This makes sense because now there are at least three of these structures that have been found, and there could be more. This could be some kind of art because it definitely looks cool and like it took lots of time to be made. All the different monoliths that have been found so far look nearly the same in terms of design.

Despite its mysterious appearance, its disappearance has not been a well-kept secret. Climber Sylvan Christensen said in a YouTube video that he and a small group dismantled the structure. This video was published on December 1st, just a few days after it was found.

Within less than two weeks of the first monolith being found, another one was discovered in Romania, but disappeared after only four days. Since then, several others have been found, including another one in California and the Netherlands. A group of “stunt artists” claims to be responsible for these structures, but this is not confirmed yet.

This is one of the more bizarre things that has happened in this crazy year, and we still do not know exactly is going on here, especially since more structures are staring to pop up around the world. These mysterious, alien-like structures could be a sign of the paranormal, or an art installation by several artists, we may never know for sure.
