Utah helicopter crew discovers mysterious metal monolith deep in the desert

What started as routine wildlife assistance took an extraterrestrial turn for Utah's Department of Public Safety after officers stumbled upon a mysterious monolith in the middle of rural Utah.

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 there it was -- in the middle of the red rock was a shiny, silver metal monolith sticking out of the ground. Hutchings guessed it was "between 10 and 12 feet high." It didn't look like it was randomly dropped to the ground, he told KSL, but rather it looked like it had been planted.

Still, it is illegal to install structures or art without authorization on public lands "no matter what planet you're from," said Utah DPS in a statement released Monday. 

The location of the monolith is not being disclosed, and it is not yet clear who -- or what -- put the monolith there, DPS said.

Clearly an artist created it, there is probably a picture somewhere on the internet. 

Watch conspiracy theorists go crazy blaming aliens.

It's an Arcturian portal.  I used to have one in my backyard growing up where I used to play with Arcturians when they weren't busy doing creepy things.

That's why I'm so much smarter than everybody else.
