With officials refusing to disclose the object's location, a race has begun online to geo-locate the 'obelisk' using surrounding rock formations.

A mysterious metal "obelisk" found buried in the remote western United States desert has inflamed the imaginations of UFO spotters, conspiracy theorists and Stanley Kubrick fans around the world.
The shiny, triangular pillar – which protrudes approximately 12 feet from the red rocks of southern Utah – was spotted last Wednesday by baffled local officials counting bighorn sheep from the air.

Stephen King Has Thoughts About Stephen King TV Shows - The New York Times
Stephen King has written some of the most beloved horror novels in the history of popular fiction, and many have been turned into equally acclaimed and successful films. Movies like "Carrie," "Stand by Me" and "The Shawshank Redemption" have more than earned esteemed spots within the cinematic canon. Others — "Maximum Overdrive," "Thinner," "The Dark Tower" — have not.
"That is the great thing about TV," King said, calling from his home in Bangor, Maine. "You can take these things as they are and expand more."
Utah Monolith Removed by Four Men, Photographer Says - The New York Times
It was, by most standards, a short stay. The pop-up metal monolith that became the focus of international attention after it was spotted in a remote section of the Utah desert on Nov. 18 was dismantled just 10 days later. On Tuesday a local outdoorsman with a penchant for stunts claimed credit on social media for the sculpture's removal.
The office of the San Juan County Sheriff at first announced that it was declining to investigate the case in the absence of complaints about missing property. To underscore that point, it uploaded a "Most Wanted" poster on its website, or rather a jokey version of one in which the faces of suspects were replaced by nine big-eyed aliens.

No, it's not a UFO. Seeing odd lights in Cincinnati skies?
In fact, you may have already seen the satellites. The Cincinnati Observatory said they received several reports from people who saw them Monday.
So what should you look for tonight? They often fly in a long line formation and resemble faint, slow-moving stars.
With the forecast favoring a clear sky and mild temperatures, there shouldn't be any problem seeing the satellites. The brightest ones are expected between 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

Following the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, war jitters swept the Southland. By February 1942, air-raid sirens, searchlights and anti-aircraft guns filled Los Angeles. Blackouts and drills were common.
Then on Feb. 23, 1942, a Japanese submarine surfaced and shelled oil installations at Ellwood, north of Santa Barbara.

It was on the night of Feb. 25, 1942, that Los Angeles experienced the Great Los Angeles Air Raid. It was a night when everyone's fears apparently were realized — Japan had brought the war to mainland America, and Los Angeles was the target.…
