According to the reports by Atascadero News, this Monolith appeared to be made of stainless steel, 10-feet tall and 18 inches wide. Also, it was not attached to the ground and was estimated to be of about 200 pounds. The monolith was similar to the one recently found in the desert in Utah, US, which has now disappeared. However, it was being considered as slightly slimmer. Out of curiosity, dozens of hikers made a trek above the mountain to view the object. Even though the object was welded together, it did not show any welding marks. Also, it appeared to be hollow at both the top and the bottom.
