– A huge metal pillar, which was discovered in rare places such as the United States and Europe, disappeared suddenly, and gave rise to various speculations such as’the story of an alien novel’, appeared in the middle of downtown America. However, unlike the previous case where the identity was unclear, this case turned out to be a’work’ by the owner of a candy store for solicitors.
According to the Reuters news agency on the 5th (local time), a 3-meter-high triangular pole was erected in front of’Grandpa Joe’, a candy store chain in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Store owner Christopher Beers posted a post on social media: “After Utah in the US and Romania in Europe, a huge metal pole this time appeared at the Grandfather Joe’s Candy Store in the Strip District in Pittsburgh.” Beers also promoted “Come to see the pillars before they disappear like a mystery.”
As the metal pillars attracted attention, the store was crowded with people coming to buy candy or taking’pillar certification shots’ ahead of Christmas. However, Beers soon admitted that it was a’self-made play’ he had waged to increase sales. He said there was also a desire to provide a pleasant story to escape from the news of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), which smears the news every day.

The scene after the 3.6m high metal pillars and pillars found in the Utah desert, USA disappeared. Reuters = Yonhap News
– The triangular structure made of metal, which became a hot topic, was first discovered on the 18th of last month in the middle of the Utah desert. The pillar suddenly disappeared a few days later, and a similar pillar was detected in the mountains of northeastern Romania and at the top of a mountain in California, USA, raising doubts over the congestion.
Netizens have also raised conspiracy theories such as’the theory of alien intervention’, saying that it resembles an alien sculpture in the movie ‘2001 Space Odyssey’ directed by Stanley Kubrick. In this regard, the Utah state authorities dismissed the pillar as “it is not a material from another world,” saying that it is highly likely that this pillar is an art sculpture.
