In The Middle of Nowhere

For John, BLUF:  It is 2020.  Weird things happen.  I bet nobody had shiney monolith on their bingo card.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Mystifying monolith found amid Utah rocks

From The New York Post, by Reporter Jesse O’Neill, 23 November 2020.

Here is the lede plus three:

2020:  Another Oddity.

Wildlife officials in Utah were counting sheep from a helicopter when they discovered a shiny metal monolith in a remote area 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.

What can I say?  It is totally out of character for the area.  Perhaps it is a rich and eccentric artist, making a statement.

If you have a thought, leave a comment.
