The Curious Case of Monolith in US and Europe Sparks Twitter Meme Fest

The mystery around the metallic monolith continues to deepen as it appears and disappears in multiple locations around the US and Europe. The metallic monolith was first spotted in November in a remote part of Utah in the US. After that, the object was spotted in Romania and now it has reportedly reached California.

Utah’s Department of Public Safety officers stumbled upon the mysterious monolith in the middle of rural countryside in November this year. It was a routine event, when the officers who were flying by in a helicopter spotted the object in the middle of the desert.

The structure was between 10 and 12 feet high. It also did not seem like it was randomly dropped but had been deliberately placed there. Few days later, it was spotted on Batca Doamnei Hill at Piatra Neamt city in Romania. It was just a few metres away from a popular Romanian archaeological landmark, the Petrodava Dacian Fortress, which was built around 82 BC and AD 106 by the Dacian people of ancient Europe.
