According to azcentral.com, the regional publication of the state of Arizona, as well as other local sites that have nothing to do with either the “Martians”, or the snowmen, or anything like that - an amazing event happened on the road near the city of Prescott. that would have graced any ufological film. Even the works of the ancient Egyptians pale before this miracle.
The situation is that on the side of the highway near the city of Prescott, from time immemorial, lay a hefty stone, which the locals called the Magic Rock and along which, apparently, cowboys and Indians found their way to the city saloons of Prescott:
The rock was, as they say, “a familiar landmark for many people traveling on State Route 89” and a favorite stop for selfie lovers who rode there specifically to ride around the cliff with their tongue out and their phone out:
And so, on one of the dark and gloomy days of October, this magic stone magically disappeared:
Since the stone was on state land and is not private property, no one wrote a statement to the police and the cops began to investigate on their own, because they were just very curious - what idiot did not have enough stones for construction? And since everyone loved the Magic Stone, all the local famous experts and heroic sheriffs gathered there.

And as the investigation showed, the stone disappeared without a trace. There are no traces of bulldozers on the terrain, no traces of excavators or other equipment that could move the stone. There are no traces of sawing the stone either.
Then the police began to examine the surveillance cameras hung along the highway, checking all suspicious trucks that appeared on the road at the right time. Were interviewed witnesses and possible suspects in the person of local bulldozer and excavator operators. But the search did not return any results.
Then the police turned to the citizens on TV and hung orientation posts with portraits of a stone on the poles. But also to no avail. And then the police began to wonder HOW? and for what?
The first version was that someone decided to decorate private property with stone. Special firms are engaged in this in the state, which will gladly deliver a dump truck of stones to the customer at a price of $ 100-200 per ton, depending on the uniqueness or beauty of the stones.
People have a good business, there are a lot of stones in the local mountains and no one has any reason to drag a stone from the road - and this will be a fine of $ 5,000 and a prison term. You can take a risk to bring a gold nugget, but for the sake of a granite block, no one will joke.
In addition, as the owners of such firms invited as experts considered, the topic with a stone is unprofitable. It is very healthy, located far from the city, and even 200 bucks per ton will not recoup labor costs, and at 1000 bucks per ton the stone should be some kind of valuable mineral, as it was not. So there is no motive.
But the most mysterious question is the HOW? That is, the stone is large and to move it without an excavator you need about twenty healthy men with crowbars, logs and other things. Although there are not even traces of rolling and dragging, as if a stone was dragged by some Hercules like a bride, on outstretched arms.
In general, the police are now scratching their heads, and the place where the stone was stolen has become a local Area 51 and ufologists with dosimeters ride there, suggesting that the stone was kidnapped by aliens in order to make a meteorite out of it.
There is also a version that the stone was stolen by the snowmen, who, judging by the descriptions, were 3.5 meters tall and could easily have moved such a stone, so the hunters for the Bigfoot also joined the ufologists. Perhaps at least they jointly can find something and explain everything, since academics cannot explain this miracle.
