Wednesday’s discovery appears to have been firmly planted in the soil, and not dropped from above.

On Instagram, Utah’s highway patrol shared a picture of the bizarre finding with a caption reading: “Counting big horn sheep with DWR this week. During the counts we came across this, in the middle of nowhere, buried deep in the rock. Inquiring minds want to know, what the heck is it?

If that’s real metal, it’s a mighty expensive prank.

For it to be a hoax it would be suggested that it “is something.”

It looks like something an art student would do.

But setting it in that kind of earth is tough.

Looks like my cousins at the family reunion trying to figure out how to get the beer out of the keg.

Oh no... the dreaded “ Bofangulator Panel of Tor”...
I don’t know what it does, but I know it’s dreaded... because they call it “the dreaded Bofangulator Panel”... and it came from Tor... which is in North Philly somewhere, I think...

The crack team from the Utah Department of Looking at Weird Stuff tries moonwalking to see if that elicits a response.

Two guesses. Either someone was surveying to build a bridge, or there is a colony of angry primates near by.
