Utah Monolith

Not really surprising as that area has a huge influence on set design in movies and TV especially when it comes to portrayals of alien planets, etc.

Interesting factoid. There is a rule that if your set is further than 30 miles from the centre of LA you had to pay your labour double, so almost all films and TV shows of the early eras, used the same rock formation inside the TMZ (thirty mile zone)
Hence why Star Trek TOS and all other sci fi shows scenery looked the same.

Its asymmetric proportion is the message, perhaps.

Didn't realise it was asymmetrical. It points exactly due north, apparently.

The best thing that could happen now for the mystery to stay interesting is for no-one to own up to it, or for more to be discovered.

There are probably 4 more scattered about and when they power up a ritual is performed in the centre of the pentagram formed and it will open a gateway to hell or another dimension! Then a fog will emanate from it and :eek:

The North Pole also has significance in Mormonism iirc.

In what way is this nonsense?

A random attention seeker plonks a bit of metal down, hoping it gets found and they get their 15 minutes of fame. The key is the vast internet army of gullible grandmothers and prepubescent males start screaming aLiEnz!

If this is something that has happened in the middle of a major town, you may have a point. However, it was placed in an extremely remote part of the Utah desert, only easily accessible by helicopter, put together not by one man but likely by a team. Not only that, it has been there undiscovered for over four years and no-one knows who put it there or why. It is a highly unusual event. Your reason for its existence, ostensibly, for attention-seeking, is merely an assumption and based on nothing whatsoever other than personal opinion.

Bear in mind the clear, obvious links to 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is considered by many to be the finest film of all time, and it's clear to see why there is a cultural link to extraterrestrials which would interest and intrigue many people the world over.
 
What I don't understand is why no-one is thinking this Patrick Mackie guy is responsible yet.

He has uploaded a shot of the Utah monolith taken in May 2016 to Wikipedia. This is completely consistent with the Google Earth mapping timeline.

His Wordpress page also shows that he is a sculptor who specialises in, among other things, sculptures of monoliths.

Yet no-one has said anything about him yet.
