Warsaw, Poland:
A mysterious metal monolith has popped up on a riverbank in the Polish capital Warsaw, the most current in a string of comparable objects that have lately appeared in Europe and the US.
Joggers noticed the triangular pillar through their morning run along the Vistula river, according to nearby media reports.
It stands some 3 metres (10 feet) tall, has a dull silver-coloured surface, is held with each other by screws and is planted in the sand of the riverbank close to a key bridge.
“A mysterious and unusual installation has emerged on the beach on the right (river) bank,” Warsaw’s Vistula district authorities mentioned on their Facebook web page.
“If you spend your time actively on the Vistula river, it won’t escape your attention,” they added, with no elaborating.
But it has left some Warsaw residents unimpressed.
“I was expecting some kind of metaphysical experience, but it’s not really all that impressive,” a lady going to the website on Thursday who declined to be named told AFP.
No a single claimed duty for the installation as of Thursday.
Similar-searching objects had been located in the United States, Romania and Britain.
The initial structure created news immediately after it appeared briefly in the Utah desert late final month, then two other folks cropped up in southern California and Romania days later.
Another appeared on a beach on the Isle of Wight off the south coast of England on Sunday ahead of hikers came across but a different a single in The Netherlands the very same day.
The look of the Utah object in late November sparked wild rumours of alien visitations simply because of its resemblance to the black monolith in the Stanley Kubrick science fiction film “2001: A Space Odyssey”.
An anonymous art collective has taken credit for the Utah installation but like in Poland no a single has but claimed duty for these in Romania, the Isle of Wight and the Netherlands.
