Just off of the 14 Freeway, a silver monolith has appeared over the weekend at a park in Canyon Country.
Last month, a mysterious metallic monolith was discovered in the Utah desert by state wildlife employees counting bighorn sheep from a helicopter. A group of volunteers quickly removed the 10-foot sculpture on Nov. 27 in order to protect the untouched wilderness from an expected deluge of visitors sure to trek through the protected lands.
Since then, more than a half-dozen copycat structures of varying size have popped up all over the world, with the painted silver monolith at Canyon Country Park the latest addition.
Residents have flocked to the park over the past few days to get a glimpse of the structure for themselves and to take photos alongside it.
The objects have called forward comparisons to the classic 1968 Stanley Kubrick film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” wherein great black rectangular slabs directly affect human evolution.
The triangular prism stands seven to eight feet tall, installed in the ground on the undeveloped hillside bordering Canyon Country Park, overlooking Soledad Canyon Road.
No one has come forward to claim responsibility for the Canyon Country monolith, and the monolith had disappeared as mysteriously as it arrived by Monday morning.
