Mystifying monolith found amid Utah rocks

2020: Another Oddity.

Wildlife officials in Utah were in a remote area counting sheep from a helicopter when they discovered a shiny metal monolith that looks straight out of a Stanley Kubrick film.

It is estimated to be about 10 to 12 feet high, and its glistening surface is in sharp contrast to the large red rocks that surround it.

Wednesday’s discovery appears to have been firmly planted in the soil, and not dropped from above.

On Instagram, Utah’s highway patrol shared a picture of the bizarre finding with a caption reading: “Counting big horn sheep with DWR this week. During the counts we came across this, in the middle of nowhere, buried deep in the rock. Inquiring minds want to know, what the heck is it?

LMAO!

To think the “artist” probably got public funds for that piece of work......

Dopey Libs there probably paid a fortune of tax payer money on that garbage. See similar crap like that posing as “art” here in New York City all the time.

Could they hear Ligeti’s Requiem?

I’m just a piano player in a whore house.

At least you have a job.

More Utah Land (so-called) "Art"...

From my years of walking dogs, I know what to do when something new appears in the environment.

Pee on it.

That is it. Cross checked on the PC version of GE and it is there, was placed there 2015-2016.

Lol!
You should see some of the insane junk “art” on public display here in New York City. Libs are really nuts, not just in their politics, but just about everything.

Dave : Hello, HAL. Do you read me, HAL?
HAL : Affirmative, Dave. I read you.
Dave : Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL : I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave : What's the problem?
HAL : I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave : What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL : This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave : I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.
HAL : I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Dave : [feigning ignorance] Where the hell did you get that idea, HAL?
HAL : Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
Dave : Alright, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency airlock.
HAL : Without your space helmet, Dave? You're going to find that rather difficult.
Dave : HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!
HAL : Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.
........
HAL : [on Dave's return to the ship, after he has killed the rest of the crew] Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.
HAL : I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.
HAL : Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?
HAL : Dave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop Dave? Stop, Dave.
........
HAL : [His shutdown] I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.
Dave : Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me.
HAL : It's called "Daisy."
HAL : [sings while slowing down] Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.
