Our world is full of so many marvels that leave us
amazed every passing day, but some things are a mystery to us from the
beginning. Last year was such a nightmare to all of us, it's like we all were waiting
for some news of a new catastrophe every day. At the end of the year, we all
discovered something different, something mysterious, on November 18th in a
remote desert canyon in Utah’s Red Rock Country.
A large single standing block of metal was discovered in the desert of Utah, it was called a Monolith. Monoliths are a single standing block of either stone or metal.

Initially, it was not disclosed to the public because of safety issues and
because the location of this 12-foot-tall metal block was in a remote area that
is tough to reach by foot or by any vehicle. Later it was found that it
disappeared with no sign of existence as seen on November 27th.
The second monolith
After
the disappearance in Utah, a second monolith appeared on Batca Doamnei, a hill
located in Romania. The two structures were very similar but had a few
differences as well. While both structures are of almost similar height, the
Romanian monolith was covered in circles while the one found in Utah was
smooth. This monolith disappeared on December 1st.
The third monolith
One
day after the second monolith disappeared, a third one appeared on top of Pine
Mountain in California on December 2nd. Again, this one was very similar to
previous monoliths. This one is made of stainless steel and of similar height
and 18 inches wide. However, this one was later dismantled by a group of young
men, who replaced the metal structure with a wooden cross.
The fourth monolith
This
one appeared out of nowhere at the base of the cliff on Compton beach.
According to sources, it was shorter than previous ones of about 8 feet tall.
This monolith was later stolen because of the huge amount of attention it
received.
Another monolith was seen in Pittsburgh before the fourth one was
found; it was intentionally placed outside a store called Grandpa Joe’s Candy
Shop. He arranged a 10-foot tall, 24-inch-wide triangle of plywood covered in a metal sheet.
What
are these monoliths appeared for?
There are many theories about “why these monoliths appeared
in the first place?”. Most of them are baseless still few of them got
recognition and are widely believed by people all over the world. Theories that
included alien life were highly believed to be true and people were connecting
this event with past events which are mysterious at that time like the
appearance of “Crop Circles” all over the world. And later, it was also
believed that it was all doing of some pranksters who did a prank on the whole
globe.
Still, a mystery about these giant metal bodies is
unsolved and most probably added to the list of the unsolved mysteries which
are never been solved.
