A mystery for Joe to chew on...

Metal monolith appears in the middle of nowhere...Well maybe not exactly nowhere, but the Utah desert is a good ways from anywhere...

Officers from the Utah Department of Public Safety's Aero Bureau were flying by helicopter last Wednesday, helping the Division of Wildlife Resources count bighorn sheep in southeastern Utah, when they spotted something that seemed right out of "2001: A Space Odyssey."

And since both Wacojoe and Utah have disappeared from the face of the earth in recent times, I suspect collusion and intrigue from the darkest corners...:wary:...Ben

I think that's cool!



I say leave it for the next people that populate the earth to figure out... Kind of like a Stone Hinge type thing.

I have to agree Bo.

I wonder how long it was there before being discovered:confuse:

I heard it was gold and covered in scripture......:duck:

I found it :

38.34307872356567, -109.66618517487495


You can see the thing on google earth
and it wasn't on the map Aug 2015...it came sometime after that
and before Oct 2016

I get it----this is a new art form from Banksy, he is branching out from cities making the entire world his canvas----don't stand still :AHHH::pimpgrin:

As mysteriously as it arrived, a metal monolith that was discovered last week by Utah public safety workers is now gone, officials said on Saturday.

The three-sided metal structure was removed on Friday evening “by an unknown party” from the public land it was found on, the federal Bureau of Land Management’s Utah office said in a statement.

The bureau said it had not removed the monolith, which it considers “private property.”

The Utah Department of Public Safety said on Monday that it had found the object while surveying for bighorn sheep.

“IT’S GONE!” the Department of Public Safety said, reacting to the news in an Instagram post. “Almost as quickly as it appeared it has now disappeared,” the department said, adding, “I can only speculate” that aliens took it back, using the emoji for extraterrestrials.

Someone always “spills the beans”.. we should hear the whole story over time.. (it will be found in a storage locker or sold for recycle)..

Or the Martians (Mars-men to geezers) will tell us (after they kick our collective ass for putzing with their planet) ..

:thinker: I wonder if, just possibly, a precious metal dealer we both know might have some knowledge of this mysterious event :shock::dunno:

As a precious metals industrialist, I disavow all knowledge of what may or may not have become of this 546.3 pound object made of aluminum which wholesales this week for 19.7 cents per pound...I further know nothing of whether this object could be secured and/or shrouded on a nine foot flatbed mounted on a powerful and reliable Dodge/Cummins cab and chassis...:dunno:...Ben

I would not bet that rudy doesn't have another gig in his future :jail::march:

Instead of misdirecting blame for this nefarious caper on an innocent profession such as the precious metals industry, the truth might be found by closely examining the latest clues:

"The thing was filthy from people touching it," he said. "I attempted to wipe it down, but it's like the handprints were frozen to it and from a donut glaze or something."

---

The donut glaze is an important clue as precious metals industrialists are well known for avoiding poor dietary habits such as the sugar coated lardballs known as glazed donuts...However donuts are known to be a diet staple of other professions such as police officers, even those who manage to stay skinny as a rail during their careers...I propose that is far likelier to locate the culprit among recently retired law enforcement officers who now hide behind the façade of being gentleman longhorn ranchers...

Such a monolith could be easily converted into a high-tech watering trough for pet cattle...However care should be exercised when investigating these devious suspects as they are known to have gorgeous doe-eyed daughters on the premises who, although innocent looking, are to be approached with caution because they are consistently armed with Glock pistols, and have no reservations about shooting first then not bothering to ask questions...:rpg:...Ben

Huh? Did someone mention "donuts"?

:drool:

Leave it to a cop :)
