Authorities have been left baffled by the appearance of several mystery antennas over the last couple of years.
Each antenna has been found with a solar panel and black battery box, but there has never been any indication of who placed it there or why.
The most recent one, which was found on a hill at an altitude of around 7,000ft, was taken down by officials on Wednesday.
"These towers have been bolted into different peaks and summits and ridges around the foothills," the city's recreational trails manager Tyler Fonarow told KSLTV.
"It started with one or two, and now it might be as much as a dozen."
The strangest thing is that nobody has yet been able to determine who is responsible.
Even the local university has expressed an interest in the mystery.
"Since Salt Lake City leaders alerted the University of Utah to the unauthorized solar panel towers in the foothills northeast of the Avenues neighborhood, University of Utah representatives have been actively coordinating with City Public Lands officials to determine whether any member of our campus community is connected to the towers," a spokesperson told KSLTV.
"As far as we know, the tower located on university property is not owned or operated by the university. We appreciate Salt Lake City's collaboration and dedicated efforts to identify the owners."
The search for answers continues.
