Helicopter pilot Bret Hutchings found the large metal monolith while helping wildlife officers count bighorn sheep in southern Utah.
In scenes reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubicks, the monolith was found alone in the desert landscape.
The helicopter pilot told local news channel KSLTV, “It’s the strangest thing I’ve encountered there in all my years of flying.”
Mr Hutchings said they had just flown directly over the monolith.
“One of the biologists is the one who spotted it and we just flew straight overhead.

Mr Hutchings said the object looked man-made and appeared to be firmly planted in the ground.
