https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-12-01/visitor-monolith-toppled-by-group-who-said-leave-no-traceNew clues have surfaced in the disappearance of a gleaming monolith in Utah that seemed to melt away as mysteriously as it appeared in the red-rock desert though its no longer the only place where a strange structure has come and gone.
A Colorado photographer told KSTU-TV that he saw four men come to the remote Utah site Friday night and push over the hollow, stainless steel object.
Right after it had fallen over and made a loud thud, one of them said, This is why you dont leave trash in the desert, Ross Bernards told the Salt Lake City TV station.
The group broke down the structure into pieces, loaded it into a wheelbarrow and left.
As they were loading it up and walking away, they just said, Leave no trace, he said.
The sheriffs office in San Juan County has said its not planning an investigation into the disappearance of the monolith, which had been placed without permission on public land. But authorities also said they would accept tips from any of the hundreds of visitors who trekked out to see the otherworldly gleaming object deep in the desert.

The mystery is getting interesting.
Didn't it recently show up somewhere in Europe too?
