The truth revealed: Monolith-jackers come clean Earlier this week, we reported on how the mysterious monolith that appeared in Utah’s Red Rock Desert disappeared without a trace. While the obvious conclusion was that aliens took it back, the truth is far more mundane. Sylvan Christensen and Andy Lewis, two outdoor enthusiasts with a passion for camping, claimed responsibility for the monolith’s disappearance. They said they couldn’t stand by and watch the influx of tourists spoil the pristine desert. Late one night, Sylvan, Andy and some friends toppled the monolith and hauled it off in a wheelbarrow. The pair also scolded the artist behind the project for chiseling into the red rocks to keep the monolith upright. It would be a better tale if aliens were the ones who moved it. Camping is serious business. You have to be careful out there. Tap or click here to see how to make a campfire that won’t blow up on you. → |
