The mysterious metal monolith which suddenly appeared in the southeastern Finnish town of Savonlinna earlier this month has just as suddenly disappeared.
Local daily Itä-Savo reported on Sunday that the column, which had stood for about 10 days at a former campsite near a sports field in Savonlinna’s Kyrönniemi neighbourhood, was no longer there.
Story continues after the photo.
There is still no information about the creator or installer of the monolith, or whether it was placed in Kyrönniemi as part of a coordinated effort involving similar columns seen in other countries – all of which have disappeared within a matter of days of being discovered.
Similar gleaming structures have appeared and disappeared since November 13 in the US states of Utah, California and Texas as well as in France, Romania, England’s Isle of Wight and elsewhere.
