Utah public safety officers were stunned last week when they stumbled on what looked like something out of a sci-fi space film: a chrome monolith standing upright, deep in the remote desert.

The officers were in a helicopter helping wildlife workers count bighorn sheep when they spotted the strange sight.

If you’ve seen the 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” you’ll likely see the resemblance to the monolith at the beginning of the movie.

Pilot Bret Hutchings actually referenced the film when he was commenting on the find.

He guessed that maybe the object was placed by an artist who was a fan of the movie. Hutchings estimated its height at between 10 and 12 feet.

Authorities are investigating the find and aren’t revealing the location of the monolith.

Well that's disappointing. It's not even a faithful recreation, so it's more likely to be aliens than an art piece inspired by 2001.

It’s likely something weird but it’s not aliens. Like the article says it might be a fan, or just a prankster

If it was an "ancient" mormon magic relic placed in the 1800s or something I'd burst out laughing. Wouldn't be surprising, just funny.

Maybe inside is the location of the gold tablets Smith had all those years ago???

Nah, Joe's imagination died with his body, and all traces of it inside his brain slowly deteriorated inside his coffin with the passing of time.
