Mystery metal monolith pops up, this time in Poland.
A mysterious metal monolith has popped up on a riverbank in the Polish capital Warsaw, the latest in a string of similar objects that have recently appeared in Europe and the US.
Joggers noticed the triangular pillar during their morning run along the Vistula river, according to local media reports.
It stands some three meters tall, has a dull silver-colored surface, is held together by screws and is planted in the sand of the riverbank near a major bridge.
"A mysterious and unusual installation has emerged on the beach on the right (river) bank," Warsaw's Vistula district authorities said on their Facebook page.
"If you spend your time actively on the Vistula river, it won't escape your attention," they added, without elaborating.
But it has left some Warsaw residents unimpressed.
"I was expecting some kind of metaphysical experience, but it's not really all that impressive," a woman visiting the site on Thursday who declined to be named told AFP.
No one claimed responsibility for the installation as of Thursday.
Similar-looking objects were found in the United States, Romania and Britain.
The first structure made news after it appeared briefly in the Utah desert late last month, then two others cropped up in southern California and Romania days later.
Another appeared on a beach on the Isle of Wight off the south coast of England on Sunday before hikers came across yet another one in the Netherlands the same day.
The appearance of the Utah object in late November sparked wild rumors of alien visitations because of its resemblance to the black monolith in the Stanley Kubrick science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
An anonymous art collective has taken credit for the Utah installation but like in Poland no one has yet claimed responsibility for those in Romania, the Isle of Wight and the Netherlands.

Brandon Bernard: US government set to execute man despite last-minute pleas.
It is one of five executions planned by Donald Trump’s administration in final weeks of presidency.
The US government is set to execute Brandon Bernard on Thursday night barring any last-minute intervention.
Bernard, who was 18 when he took part in a 1999 double murder in Texas, will die by lethal injection at an Indiana federal prison.
Now 40, Bernard will be the youngest person by the age at which the offense was committed, to be executed in the US for nearly seven decades.
Bernard will be the ninth person executed by Donald Trump’s administration since the federal government began executions again this summer after a 17-year break from executions in the country.
It is one of five lame duck executions that are planned in the final weeks of Mr Trump’s presidency and is set to go ahead at 5pm CET at the federal prison in Terre haute, Indiana.
The executions have broken a 130-year precedent of pausing them until the incoming president is sworn into office.
His lawyers had asked a federal appeals court to temporarily block the execution while they investigate claims prosecutors unconstitutionally withheld evidence that would have seen some jurors give him a life sentence.
