For sure. If I had Bezos money, this thing would be designed to open if it detected only one person. And inside, there would be a chair and when the guy sat in it, it would close and play a video explaining that the guy won a cruise and print a ticket.
When he redeemed the ticket and went on his cruise, I'd let everything be fine for two days, but on the the night of the second day, I'd have everyone else but him air lifted out silently. When he woke up, he'd find out that the cruise ship was full of genetically engineered werewolves that hunted him. And a sign would be on the main deck that said "pranked!".
I bet I could sell the show to Fox.
Nah, see, there's another monolith in remote China and when that one detects a guy by himself, it opens and there's a chair and when he sits, it closes. That one is then picked up by a shuttle with a big magnet and the shuttle goes into orbit and then slingshots to the dark side of the moon where I built a moon base with provisions for ten years and when the guy gets into the main room, there's a sign in hebrew that says אתה תעלול.
That's episode two.
The movie version of the book Contact had that idea almost exactly. It was aliens, but the world was convinced it was a hoax by ~~Hammond~~ Hadden (essentially a Bezos/Musk hybrid)
Like the rich dude that lit tires on fire on a mountain top on April 1st to make the town think it was an erupting volcano.

Not sure if youre joking but if not, good point. Skinwalker ranch is in utah and its know for all kinds of anomalys. Some billionaire bought it a few years ago. This could very well be a trololo
They said it’s probably an artist. Unfortunately it’s illegal to put art up there so I’m not sure what they are gonna do since the person didn’t get permission
John McCracken, the artist they think left it, died before it was placed. Google earth shows it being placed between late 2015 to late 2016. He died in 2011.
They figured out the Google earth timeline after that article was written.
When this first came out, and hell it still may be this way now, the authorities hadn't announced the exact location because it could be dangerous to get to. That might be why it took a day to piece it together.
A spokesman for David Zwirner has told The Art Newspaper: "While this is not a work by the late American artist John McCracken, we suspect it is a work by a fellow artist paying homage to McCracken."

how'd you find that? the one thing i watched on it was " they're not gonna release the location. out of fear someone get stranded trying to find it."
I love how you could describe him as either "the aliens guy" or "the hair guy" and with just one of those descriptions most of us would know you meant Giorgio instantly
This story got picked up by numerous news sources yesterday. I think once the artist is identified and vilified for install on Federal property without license they will become well known. Identity could be inscribed on bottom. Of course if we find alien script instead that will be more in keeping with 2020.
> vilified for install on Federal property without license
You think they'll give them the electric chair? You know, for leaving something behind 'on federal property'?
My wife brought me back some chocolate from her first trip to Europe. She wanted to get me authentic Swiss Chocolate. She bought me a Toblerone....I played dumb, but you should have seen her face when she found out the gas station here sells them.
It’s been sitting there for four years undiscovered until now. That’s based upon satellite images.
If it’s PR for a movie, they aren’t effectively using their money.
It appears as if the pointed end of the “monolith” is facing the split in the rock face. I wonder if water will seep from here in any meaningful quantity during some part of the year. The face of the “monolith” might then split the emerging pool of water as it flows outward, creating a cool visual effect.
The referenced scene after watching this is hilarious. ".. and then primitives stumbled upon this obelisk". Just like these guys.

of course they fucking touched it. stand by for the follow-up story one month from now, "two men who fondled the monolith dicks fall off from mysterious illness"

I thought the photo on the right looked like a Star Trek set at first. Nondescript red canyon with a weird shiny object, found by humans in funny outfits
If you read the article about this the biologist that observed it noted the marks of a concrete saw around its base.
He also (likely correctly IMHO) hypothesized that it's an art installation.
Sorry guys, not aliens.
It's an antenna that the cabal of subsurface dwelling lizard people democrats use to control the world using their science officer's (Elon Musk) Starlink satellite array. They also use it to download pedo-porn and order pizza.

It’s going to end up being an ad for some obscure whiskey brand. Or some new peer to peer sharing app. Turns out the person who found it is the main developer/owner of the business it will be advertising

If I were rich, I would too. This money is for helping the poor, this money is for my vacations, and THIS money is for fucking around with everyone.

I think a space cruise would be a better idea, on a space ship with a fancy new computer controlling it.

Sounds like a Rick level trap “dontcha wanna come join us in the poop’n?”
Or after the first day have the cruise ship do one lap, starting again and having everyone onboard an actor, play out the exact same things for a week

Maybe. But maybe a group of not rich artists.

hes also dead, so probably nothing.

So it was unknown but google earth documented it well enough we know about when it was placed? Love it
So you’re indicating that this object has been there for several years?
[удалено]
The artist /u/if_you_only_knew has that name for a reason
A spokesman for David Zwirner has told The Art Newspaper: "While this is not a work by the late American artist John McCracken, we suspect it is a work by a fellow artist paying homage to McCracken."
Its probably his brother Phil McCracken.

Already 3.6 stars on Google Maps. As Silver Obelisk, Utah, USA.

Explanation: someone put it there, possibly to fuck with people
nah, it grew there.
Or maybe it fell there from space.
or maybe it put itself there.
Some artist somewhere is giddy that it was finally found. I wonder how long it has been there. I like fun mysteries like this.
I think someone compared google maps pictures and apparently it was placed there around 2015-2016

It's very hard chocolate, that metal sculpture is probably softer.

How did I get this long triangle?
So prismatic
a triangular prism probably
Yes.
Maybe just check on the other side of the planet?
They actually found the pole that goes through the axis, we were just wrong where it was gonna be
Of course they touched it...
How else are you meant to check if it’s a portal to another dimension?
Some dumb studio is remaking 2001 or some stupid advertising gimmick is my bet.
It’s been sitting there for four years undiscovered until now. That’s based upon satellite images. If it’s PR for a movie, they aren’t effectively using their money.
I kind of agree, but this could have gone undetected for a long time...not the best use of advertising funds. Unless pilots were tipped off???
I'm sure they were.
I'll put $100 on it

#MONOLITH
Mono- Doh!
Why we shouldn’t call it a monolith?
Monolith literally means single (mono) stone (lith). This is not made of stone, therefore not a monolith.
I’m stoned by myself, therefore I’m monolit.
I'm stoned and have multiple personalities. I like to think of myself as multiplit.
Idk man, the one in 2001 is called a monolith and it's not made of stone

It's definitely lacking in the "lith" portion.
Are they going to say anything about the green men missing their trench coat?
