The year of 2020 has seen so many unusual seeming things, that when the news of this bizarre structure finding came out, many thought of the aliens. There were even some jokes about aliens leaving it there. The monolith was found by wildlife biologists on their helicopter survey of bighorn sheep in the region. The tall object appeared to have made of stainless steel, shone bright in the middle of the desert. It garnered everyone's attention online and it is now even weirder that it has disappeared completely! Could it be the aliens? Remember when Elon Musk tweeted that the Aliens built pyramids? Could they have built the monolith too?
