Who?

I did. And I am. And I hold my opinion until proven wrong.

In movies? They walk around, touch, exclaim. Like Star Wars....you don't think the Millennium Falcon is real because they walked around, touched it....

You just presented that as acceptable criteria...or....just like in the movies. Right?

"There was speculation that the monolith was installed by an artist".

"space peanuts"


Anyway
My vote is artist installation--it's way too much like the monolith from my #1 favorite movie--2001: A Space Odyssey.
If not, some kind of space-peanut generating alignment instrument meant to reflect light at a certain hour in a certain way for some mysterious measurement...
I know some (satellite educated) people who may have an idea. Standby, I may ask them their opinions... for fun.

I hope it's space peanuts

I'll need more diesel fuel than gasoline. The Jeep gets loaded on the trailer and hauled to the location on my goosneck flatbed.

Just mapped it out. It's about 7 hours from here to Moab, and this location is about 17 miles south of Moab, as the crow flies. I'd have to look closer at how many road miles it is, probably 4x-5x times that many. Some pretty rugged terrain between Moab and this location. Plus, looks like two mountains to cross, and a big valley to get across, along with several sizable river crossings which could take some time to figure out. When I went through here before we came from the south, but that's a LOT further (like days further).

I'd also need at least one other Jeep. You don't go out in these areas with just one vehicle, that's suicide in the desert. Anybody else got a Jeep or hard-core 4x4 (built out Taco's, etc.) want to go? I can get (2) Jeeps on my trailer if you can make it to CO. You'll need a SWB and a winch, straps with hardware, traction boards and an air compressor. Probably be well served if you can unpin your sway bars also, not mandatory, but it will help keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down. Roll cage for sure! Oh, and a shovel.

You'll also need space to store the alien chocolate triangles once you've stolen them back from whoever has stolen them!!
How do we start an ATS fund??
Help us FlyingClayDisk, you're our only hope!

so this thing has been there for 4 years and only now we know about it ?

sucks to be those who made it, they might have even forgot about it

This is a space Toblerone of some kind that may contain a creamy gooey space nougat with space peanuts.....

"Artists" do some pretty strange stuff, for some pretty strange reasons! In fact, most true artists don't actually create their art with the specific intention of having people look at it, they produce it because that is what seems right to them. If other people see it and enjoy it, well that's just an added bonus. I have found what some consider to be 'art' in some of the strangest locations imaginable (like in the middle of a tropical jungle in SE Asia where I could have sworn no other human had ever set foot...until I found it, so obviously someone had been there).

Well it was not there 8/17/2015 and it appears in the 10/20/2016 shot on Google Earth Pro Desktop version. I'm sure it's just a perspective thing but that looks like it is on a flat top area not down in a canyon to me. But definitely something there. Also the ground around it looks way different also. All pitted and hard looking before and smooth after so /shrug





Very cool whoever put it there

They say it is 12 feet or so out of the ground. I would love to find out how much is below ground.

source

since the erect object was positioned in a recess, as a sort-of-Temple placement...
i would say it symbolizes the 'last' of something , probably something that lived and is no-way an Alter


to keep the object mass both erect and stable -

-- i guess a One Cubic Yard of Concrete at the foundation base is anchoring the 12' tall object


Of Interest are the 'faces' behind the object (on right side and above)
And the 'turtle head' behind the left side of tall monolith

All Together these 'moaning faces' seem to be natural elements that are 'crying out' of the rock walls of the recess (out there in no-where /utah )

Sooo many joke opportunities here....ha ha. Found while counting sheep? Couldn't sleep?

How do I get a job flying around in a helicopter all day counting sheep????

The conspiracy side of this isn't "if" it is there.....it is "why"?

It is definitely there and is real.

its an marker for alien activity..
china just launched an moonprobe for collecting moonrocks.. very weird !!!!

Looks very much like it's in the right place in a cove in your pictures. Also look at the earlier picture when it's not there, notice what looks like vegetation in the cove but the later picture with the installation the area looks clean and almost prepared.

Well, this whole mystery could easily be put to rest if the guy who looked down inside of the object just came forward and said what he saw.

If he looked inside and just saw some CDX plywood on the inside as a substrate then I think everyone can go home. It's just an object placed there by someone, for whatever reason.

Don't know if anyone else posted location...or possible location yet. This in just North Of Flaming Gorge. You can follow the green River and match the topography. My guess is its somewhere south west of highway 191. Haven't found the actual yet on Google earth but I WILL!

a reply to: tarifa37

I think I can now see why these rangers saw the object. If you look carefully there is a pretty well established game trail running east to west right along the top of the image. So that's probably where they were looking when they saw the object.

I also agree with your assessment of the vegetation being missing in the later photo. That 'vegetation' is sagebrush, and sagebrush is extremely difficult to remove. Removing just those few sagebrush bushes was probably more work than erecting the object itself! Sagebrush is some tough stuff!! Sagebrush also lives for hundreds of years. So that area was definitely cleared, else the sagebrush would still be there.

Its real and its here Google Earth

The map that was shown does not show it in that area. It shows it just south west of 191

a reply to: Oathkeeper73

Dude...you're WAY off!! LOL! I grew up right where you're talking about. This is nowhere near Rock Springs / Green River.

The location is clear over south of Moab Utah (about 17 miles due south of Moab).

Used to drive out 191 every single day for about 20 years! That's home for me, man!

BTW, the river you see to the west of this area is not the Green, it's the Colorado. Oh, and I graduated from RSHS.
