Appearing & Disappearing Monoliths

Hi all,
What is with this, appearing and disappearing monoliths?

First found and lost in Utah desert, Second found in Romania and Third in California.

What you think? Is it some alien or some folks doing it for attention?

re: Appearing & Disappearing Monoliths

You could start with couple of reliable links which do not disappear like that monolithic. I'm big science fiction fan but this just looks like a prank.

re: Appearing & Disappearing Monoliths

Stanley Kubrick sending messages from the grave. That's what i think. If you cannot get creative like him, try coping him. Anyways the internet has been agog with memes

1. Aliens Message " Now you need to devolve"
2. Covid Vaccine inside.


At last some humor amidst gloom.

re: Appearing & Disappearing Monoliths

Somewhere, someone is really having a good chuckle with his buddies over a couple glasses of aqueous solution of C2H5OH who set up these things up.

Can someone really by naïve to believe that this is indication of out of world alien stuff?

re: Appearing & Disappearing Monoliths

This definitely looks like prank. I even saw photo in some tweet where some people were removing the plank in the night.

But I am curious, how conspiracy theories in the future will revolve around this event? When this event is out of memory from the current generation, next generation will find this event as amusing one which will be part of different alien conspiracy theories.

Fortunately there is internet to document all the details.

re: Appearing & Disappearing Monoliths

About twenty years back one self proclaimed historian was walking off a trail in Goan jungle. When taking a piss, he found a roughly cut chopper of stone. Guy came back to the town assembled people and was super excited talking about the apparent stone age weapon that he had just found. Just when he was about to finish, a sheep shepherd who was passing by and heard the commotion, was absolutely stunned to see his creation, which he nomade during free time when sheep's were feeding.

PS: Any resemblance to the story of monolith is purely intentional.

re: Appearing & Disappearing Monoliths

I read somewhere in comments (in another forum) that It was probably an IKEA dresser someone had dropped it off. But the only question was why there?

My take : some one wanted the world to discuss on a totally useless topic and few more thought to add fuel to the diminishing fire..

re: Appearing & Disappearing Monoliths

And there was a new monolith foun in California an interestingly its not fixed as sturdy as its found in the other places. Hurried installation?

I thoroughly believe this a prank and we have better things to follow.


One of the monolith is removed and the person who worked on removing that has accepted his doing. Source

Quote:
"We removed the Utah Monolith because there are clear precedents for how we share and standardize the use of our public lands, natural wildlife, native plants, fresh water sources, and human impacts upon them," Christensen wrote on an Instagram post, urging people to protect valuable public lands. "Things like this don’t help."

Re: Appearing & Disappearing Monoliths

Looks like they are making memes out of these monoliths by making them as EV charging units and petrol pumps and associating with famous cars and brands.

Hopeless!!!
