https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55056570A strange metal monolith has been discovered in the Utah desert by a helicopter crew, leaving local authorities baffled.
They said the structure had been planted in the ground between red rock.
There was no indication who installed the monolith, which was about 10 to 12ft (3.6m) tall.
Mr Hutchings said a biologist counting big horn sheep in the helicopter was the first one to spot the structure from the sky.
"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!'," Mr Hutchings said.
