Men discover mysterious metal monolith in Utah wilderness, immediately touch it

General rule of thumb for when you stumble upon something weird: Don’t touch it. Especially if it’s a big-ass metal structure of unknown (though, okay, likely human) origin. But that’s exactly what the folks on a sheep-counting expedition (truly) in a remote area of southern Utah did over the weekend. As reported by local NBC affiliate KSL TV, a helicopter crew from the Utah Department Of Public Safety was assisting Division Of Wildlife officers on a mission to count bighorn sheep last week when a biologist spotted a large metal structure on the ground and told them to circle back. Reminiscent of the monolith from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, this metal structure is said to be about 10 to 12 feet high and looks as though it was planted—not dropped—into the ground.

“We were kind of joking around that if one of us suddenly disappears, then the rest of us make a run for it,” said pilot Bret Hutchings. “We were, like, thinking is this something NASA stuck up there or something. Are they bouncing satellites off it or something?” Hutchings also noted the similarity to 2001 and posited that the monolith could’ve been made by “some new wave artist or something.”

Some of the cave drawings in Utah are rather spooky and are replicated in many places that are very far apart. They aren’t fakes either. They appear to be sort of super beings, aliens.

To me, from the drawing it looks like a misplaced Philadelphia or Detroit voting machine/location...

I watched it.

HAL figured out that he was out-voted, and decided to do something about it. ;-)

Sounds like bloggers.

They are smart enough to explain yesterday's news because you obviously didn't understand it.

And they want to be paid.

I dont know if I would have touched.

But I sure as hell would have poked it or tossed a rock at it.

But I do that with bodies I find on my lawn too, so I have experience.

2001 has a strange effect on me. I can watch it one night, and the next morning I’ve forgotten what it’s all about.
