- A smooth, metal monolith was found during a helicopter survey of bighorn sheep in southeastern Utah on Monday, state officials said
- Google satellite images show the mysterious structure has been in the desert since at least 2015 or 2016
- There are no identifying markings and no one has claimed responsibility and the mysterious structure has captured the attention of conspiracy theorists
- Many pointed out its similarity to the strange alien monoliths in Stanley Kubrick's classic sci-fi film '2001: A Space Odyssey'
- Others believe it could be the work of late minimalist artist John McCracken, who died in 2011
- A spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, said it's possible the structure has been there for '40, 50 years, maybe more'
A mysterious metal monolith found in the remote Utah desert has captured the attention of UFO spotters, conspiracy theorists and Stanley Kubrick fans around the world, as it's revealed the structure has been standing since at least 2015 or 2016.
The shiny, triangular pillar - which protrudes approximately 12 feet from the red rocks of southern Utah - was spotted last Wednesday by baffled local officials counting bighorn sheep from the air.
After landing their helicopter to investigate, Utah Department of Public Safety crew members found 'a metal monolith installed in the ground' but 'no obvious indication of who might have put the monolith there.'

Officials have refused to disclose the metal obelisk's location out of fear that curious sightseers would flock to the remote wilderness, but internet sleuths managed to pinpoint its position nonetheless. Google Earth images show it has been there since 2016 or 2015
