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?

I do love threads like this...:)

“Do the rocks look different from up there, Carl?” “Nope.”

Reminded me of that scene in the original Twilight Zone where the 5 various characters stand on each other's shoulders to see over the rim of the mysterious container they were in.

Turned out they were each toy dolls in a Salvation Army toy barrel.

It’s an arkilian thumb drive and they want it back.

Wow, that was my first guess too!
You know what they say about ‘great minds’!

“What’s it say up there, Carl?”

“It says Other End Up.”

What the Hell is that?

Looks like my third grade class after Halloween.

I used to work for a company that was tasked with designing a means of communicating the hazards of Yucca Mountain (back when it was an option for burial of nuclear waste).

The trouble was it had to be designed so people could still understand it 20,000(?) years from now.

I knew it!

I. Just. Knew. It!

I was really afraid that thing would surface again one day...
It’s dreaded...

That is the most memorable Twilight Zone episode for me.
