Why can’t we have nice things… Or in this case, mysterious, shiny things? Because y’all flock to them and they get removed!

The shiny metal monolith that mysteriously appeared on a hill near Fort Collins in Bellevue, Colorado and attracted hoards of visitors has been removed.

The object was discovered last month on private land owned by Lori Graves, who also owns the nearby Morning Fresh Dairy Farm and the Howling Cow Cafe.

On Wednesday (July 3), the dairy uploaded pictures showing workers using construction equipment to uproot the object, along with a statement saying it was removed after an “overwhelming” rush of visitors.

“We took ‘the Monolith’ down and are keeping it safe,” the Facebook post read. “If you are the creator and would like it back, please email HowlingCowCafe@gmail.com.”
