Salt Lake City public lands officials hiked into the foothills surrounding the city to remove a strange device that consisting of a locked battery box, a solar panel, and an antenna — and are planning to remove more devices from elsewhere in the area in the coming days and weeks.
Public lands officials said that the devices first appeared roughly a year ago, but have been spotted with increasing regularity in recent weeks. The devices have been installed without any permits, and officials are unclear who is responsible for them or what purpose they’re serving.
