    A mystery for Joe to chew on...

    Metal monolith appears in the middle of nowhere...Well maybe not exactly nowhere, but the Utah desert is a good ways from anywhere...
    Officers from the Utah Department of Public Safety's Aero Bureau were flying by helicopter last Wednesday, helping the Division of Wildlife Resources count bighorn sheep in southeastern Utah, when they spotted something that seemed right out of "2001: A Space Odyssey."
    And since both Wacojoe and Utah have disappeared from the face of the earth in recent times, I suspect collusion and intrigue from the darkest corners......Ben

    I think that's cool!



    I say leave it for the next people that populate the earth to figure out... Kind of like a Stone Hinge type thing.

    I wonder how long it was there before being discovered

    As mysteriously as it arrived, a metal monolith that was discovered last week by Utah public safety workers is now gone, officials said on Saturday.

    The three-sided metal structure was removed on Friday evening “by an unknown party” from the public land it was found on, the federal Bureau of Land Management’s Utah office said in a statement.

    The bureau said it had not removed the monolith, which it considers “private property.”

    The Utah Department of Public Safety said on Monday that it had found the object while surveying for bighorn sheep.

    “IT’S GONE!” the Department of Public Safety said, reacting to the news in an Instagram post. “Almost as quickly as it appeared it has now disappeared,” the department said, adding, “I can only speculate” that aliens took it back, using the emoji for extraterrestrials.

    I wonder if, just possibly, a precious metal dealer we both know might have some knowledge of this mysterious event
