Mysterious Metal Monolith Appears in Remote Utah Desert And Has Authorities Stumped
(click link for full article and pictures) https://www.sciencealert.com/someone-set......h-desert Who embedded a large metal monolith in the remote Utah desert? State wildlife officials are scratching their heads after discovering a bizarre 10-foot-tall (3 meters) installation in Red Rock Country in southeastern Utah. The shiny silver rectangle sits in the center of the dead end of one of the many shallow rock ravines that scour this desert region. Its discovery had wildlife officials feeling as if they'd been dropped into an episode of "Ancient Aliens". "OK, the intrepid explorers go down to investigate the, uh, alien life-form," one chuckles as he takes a video of his companions hiking to the monolith on November 18. The monolith failed to immediately do anything mystical, though officials noted with surprise that someone had taken the trouble to cut into the hard-packed earth to install the monument. There was no indication of who had left the monolith, according to the Utah Department of Public Safety. What could it be?? Ron

It was evidently found secured in hard-packed earth, so not just dropped from above.
I'd work backwards from the assumption that it was meant to be found--eventually. Who might find it? Well, those who did. Work backwards from the Utah Department of Public Safety Aero Bureau. Someone knew they did flyovers.

I bet someone named HAL had something to do with it.

On the contrary, I think what I've said requires the fewest number of assumptions.
The alternatives I can think of are: 1. Extraterrestrial beings put them there 2. Some group of people didn't care if no one found it. 3. Those who put it there actively don't want anyone to know it's there. All of those require a lot more assumptions in the way of what we know about the way the world works than my initial thought. In case #3 for example, even with military, criminal or espionage utility, someone needs to know about it. But I'm open to alternative explanations if you have any.

Banksy would be a millionaire several times over if only they claimed their art, but then that would defeat the entire purpose of the artists intent. Is it really so hard to believe the act in itself was the intent? I think who put it there and why are the wrong questions to be asking. I would rather be asking how many more monoliths will we never find? If a tree falls in the forest... |

We Tralfamadorians placed 12 of these on your planet over 10,000 years ago.
Once you find the other 11, all shall be revealed. 12, of course, is the magic number. Billy Pilgrim and Montana Wildhack are the best of your world that we could find. So it goes.

The phone video is cute. After that it's more "Q".

My first thought is that it is a prank. Someone wanting to see what this discovery will stir up, but I have two problems with that. If it is a prank, it is an expensive one, actually a very expensive one. Second, if it is a prank, it required several people to pull off. So far no loose lips. Face it, people who know something, tend to talk.
Magic is like Science,
Both are fun if you do it right! |

Unless they find the bodies... then there will be no loose lips.
