In 2031, an unexplained inscription was discovered in Utah’s Red Rock Country. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources encountered the massive and mysterious form while conducting a local survey. After the announcement, news outlets exploded with stories comparing the markings to the metal monolith that appeared in the same area a decade prior, in the fall of 2020.

This newly discovered crop circle was inundated with visitors. Photographs of it overwhelmed social media, and, similarly to the 2020 metal monolith, imitations began to surface. Crop circle copies, paying homage to the desert form, emerged across the globe.
