Recently, a ten-foot-tall structure dubbed the “Monolith” has caught the attention of many people around the world. This object doesn’t seem to have any specific use. This metal structure has been appearing and disappearing without a trace all around the world, starting in Utah on Nov. 18 only to disappear nine days later. An identical structure ended up in Romania – over 6,000 miles away – a day later. After Romania, one popped up in California. Many artists are trying to claim responsibility over this structure, while conspiracy theorists claim it was placed by aliens, and some see it as some sort of threat.

Another monolith – this time only three feet tall – has been most recently found in England, which only adds to the mystery. No one has been able to link this structure to anyone or anything. Some people think that when the structures appeared and disappeared others wanted to get involved by making their own and putting it in their town, making it seem it had traveled far.
