Mysterious 13ft ‘alien’ monolith found on Romanian hillside DISAPPEARS days after other metal structure vanishes in Utah
A MYSTERIOUS metal monolith found on a Romanian hillside has vanished days after the same thing happened in Utah.
The 13ft "alien" monolith was spotted on Batca Doamnei Hill in the city of Piatra Neamt last week - but has now disappeared.
Pictures from today show nothing but an empty hole in the gravelly ground.
It comes just days after a metal monolith appeared - then disappeared with no explanation - in the middle of the Utah desert, sending conspiracy theorists and UFO-spotters into a frenzy.
The mysterious metal pole in Romania was found a few metres from the well-known archaeological landmark the Petrodava Dacian Fortress on November 26.
The structure appeared to be a dark metallic colour and was covered in concentric scribble-like rings, with one side facing Mount Ceahlau - known locally as the Holy Mountain.
Neamt Culture and Heritage official Rocsana Josanu said: “We have started looking into the strange appearance of the monolith.
"It is on private property, but we still don’t know who the monolith’s owner is yet. It is in a protected area on an archaeological site.”
She added: “Before installing something there, they needed permission from our institution, one that must then be approved by the Ministry of Culture.”
Officials are yet to comment on its disappearance.
But one joker appears to have put the mystery object up for sale, describing it as a "extraterrestrial stick, USB 6.9 standards, transfer rate one planet per second".
