As home to an opera festival, the southeastern Finnish town of Savonlinna is no stranger to melodrama.
Still, locals seemed taken aback when a mysterious metal monolith suddenly appeared on a rocky hillside above Lake Saimaa on Thursday.
Similar gleaming columns have appeared and disappeared since November 13 in the US states of Utah, California and Texas as well as in France, Romania and on England’s Isle of Wight.
Copycat column?
The latest monolith was first noticed on Thursday morning at a former campsite near a sports field in Savonlinna’s Kyrönniemi neighbourhood.
As of Thursday evening, it remained unclear whether the structure was placed there as part of a coordinated effort involving similar columns seen in other countries – all of which have disappeared as suddenly as they appeared.
