    The crop circle people will talk about it for years. The rest of us will wonder for a short while why somebody would go to all the trouble, just to give the crop circle people something to talk about. Only a short while, mind. We've enough to be getting on with.

    It was on the news tonight... Most likely some artist will come out and say it's a concept piece etc etc.

    Ah. So THAT'S where I left it.





    It's a stunt. My bet is someone in the helicopter that "found" it knows exactly who put it there.

    It’s now known that it has been there between four and five years. Apparently it wasn’t on Google Earth in 2015 but it shows up in 2016 update.

    It’s either the aerial for the underground Alien base or one of the landing legs off the UFO.

    Great that you managed to narrow it down to simply two options....both alien related.

    That's how you do it folks.

    Guardian posts an article about stuff they found on social media.
    Some people tweets about it.
    Guardian adds the tweets about the article to another article making it news that people have read the first article.
    Ask for money at the bottom of the pages.

    Explain the mysterious Utah monolith
    What's your theory on the origin of the mysterious Utah monolith?

    176 Aliens
    210 I don't know but I'm pretty sure it flipped a lot of votes from Trump to Biden
    416 Bill Gates 5G illuminati coronavirus mind control beacon
    660 Someone with too much money and time on their hands
    613 It's probably an ad for something really dull

    And the comments

    Probably an alien device to help the USA achieve civilization


    America had civilisations.

    And then 1492 occurred...





    Given that there is apparently some water running from the rock crevice behind, and the rocks are clearly full of iron, I'm positing that this is a particularly highly-evolved species of cactus.

    Looks like a Banksy-Musk 2001 space oddity inspired desert erection to promote something?

    Man-made polished steel piece of hollow modern art with four visible rivets, certainly not Alien in origin. Would look good in the Tate-Modern.

    An artist collective group calling themselves "The Most Famous Artist" are taking responsibility for these installations. And are now selling replicas at 45K a pop.

    Promo for what,?
    Haven't heard anything since and if it were a promo, they missed their peak timing.

    Looks to be an art project perhaps that spawned copycats?

    At some stage some donkeys arse is going to come out and say he’s an Artist and he did it for Art, and I know right now that I will want to punch him so hard in his pretentious face. So. Badly.

    That donkeys arse gets around, are we sure it's just one person erecting them? I suspect not.
