The dimensions are not in a ratio of 1x4x9 by any chance, are they?

It could all-of-a-sudden appear near Alice Kramden!

Ok, I saw “2001: A Space Odyssey” - don’t get too close to that thing unless you’re prepared for a light show.

.. The giant slab has numerous stickers on it saying “Caution: do not open until after January 2021, Red County ballots” ...

It could be to catch graboids, though, especially the smaller ones. That would make sense since it’s out in the desert.

Theories abound?

Simple.
Someone put it there to get people talking.
