Who would go through all the trouble? Didn’t look corroded so could it have been recently put there? A Kubrick/Space Odyssey fan’s tribute to a great movie?

If people discover its location, it will be removed eventually for being an attracting "mecca object" risk, like Chris McCandless's abandoned bus in Alaska. Hopefully the Von Neumann monolith won't hyperspace-transition the work crew to a distant planet or transform them into the next higher step in evolution: Star Children.

No doubt this will be solid evidence of ...... well let’s just say we better keep an eye on that helicopter crew

Perhaps the artist/pranksters picked-out that very spot themselves from satellite imaging, just as the news people pinpointed it by that means. Scary that the location of anything a certain size can't be kept hidden anymore if it's outside. Erecting monoliths and other other "alien objects" on private and restricted property may eventually become the trend that replaces crop-circles (if it hasn't already -- the latter was getting pretty old and boring a decade ago).

UPDATE: The monolith has disappeared.
https://mashable.com/article/monolith-ut...isappears/ Whoever is behind it sure knows how to milk it for all it's worth. They possibly waited four years for that thing to be discovered, before enacting stage-2. Maybe it transmitted a signal to the area of Jupiter like the lunar one that was excavated in "2001". A trigger for the rest of the Apocalypse to unfold, following the opening events of the bizarre year of 2020.

I like the Cotton-eyed Joe reference. "Where did it come from, where did it go?"

Seems like monolith provoking same kind of reaction of our ancestors portrayed in the movie, curious.

Was Utah monolith just the beginning? Second mystery slab spotted in Romania https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/utah-monol...ed-romania EXCERPT: Only days after the now-famous first metal monolith was discovered hiding out in the Utah desert, another gleaming slab has now been spotted lurking near an ancient archaeological site in Romania. Early reports don’t reveal much, but British tabloid Daily Mail led the charge today in revealing an early look at the newly-discovered 13-foot obelisk, which reportedly was found on Nov. 26 near an ancient Dacian fortress. The news of a second monolith comes only one day after its Utah predecessor quietly vanished — seemingly in the dark of night, just as mysteriously as it first appeared. Meanwhile, Romanian officials sound like they’re in the same predicament as their U.S. counterparts when it comes to explaining — or permitting — their landscape’s shiny new guest. “‘We have started looking into the strange appearance of the monolith,” local Culture and Heritage official Rocsana Josanu told EuroWeekly. “It is on private property, but we still don’t know who the monolith’s owner is yet. It is in a protected area on an archaeological site.” Like her BLM counterparts in Utah, Josanu also stressed that whomever is responsible for installing the monolith would have needed a permit from the Ministry of Culture...
