From a helicopter, officers from the Utah Department of Public Safety spotted a large metal monolith — a single block of metal — last week. It was sitting in Utah's Red Rock Country in the southeast. Officials have no idea how or when it got there — or who might have placed it.

it has clearly visible screws or rivets

Why is everyone calling this thing a "monolith" when it has clearly visible screws or rivets and is therefore obviously not a single solid mass?

Looks like a USB drive. Hopefully it's got an update to fix this COVID vulnerability.

If it's a USB drive, then it's got its head in the sand. Which means it may have the potential to protect us against the pandemic, but is unwilling to do anything to help. Which brings me back quite neatly to the Face of Trump.

BTW - I hope I'm not offending anyone by combining imagery of Trump and Alien. I should make it clear that I am in no way suggesting that Trump erupted out of a space egg in the outer reaches of the solar system, and was carried back to Earth by an unwitting Sigourney Weaver, there to wreak untold destruction. Because that's certainly not true.

Haha, you still think space is real? The Earth is flat and stars are just painted on the canopy that NASA put there. Wake up man!

Okay, let's do it. Let's start a thread. You go first, I'll reply. Let's see if we can keep it going for 5 years.

I'll be happy to observe, and have a laugh while reading your thread if this would happen.

Did they touch it already?

They did.

Do you want COVILITH-20? Because that's how you get COVILITH-20.

That's ok, there nothing garlic and bleach can't cure.

Clearly the monolith is in broad daylight which casts its UV rays upon the virus thus eradicating its very nature

This is fast becoming my favourite thread on the forum.
Has anyone yet managed to spot Disgruntled Monkey^TM in suchmoon's original image? Clue: he's nestled coyly atop the Alien.
This is not another oblique reference to Trump. Let me be clear: I am not suggesting that there is something nestled coyly atop the POTUS's head, be it Alien, Disgruntled Monkey^TM or something that is and hopefully shall forever remain beyond human understanding.

The term "UFO" (or "UFOB") was coined in 1953 by the United States Air Force (USAF) to serve as a catch-all for all such reports. In its initial definition, the USAF stated that a "UFOB" was "any airborne object which by performance, aerodynamic characteristics, or unusual features, does not conform to any presently known aircraft or missile type, or which cannot be positively identified as a familiar object". Accordingly, the term was initially restricted to that fraction of cases which remained unidentified after investigation, as the USAF was interested in potential national security reasons and "technical aspects" (see Air Force Regulation 200-2).

During the late 1940s and through the 1950s, UFOs were often referred to popularly as "flying saucers" or "flying discs". The term UFO became more widespread during the 1950s, at first in technical literature, but later in popular use. UFOs garnered considerable interest during the Cold War, an era associated with a heightened concern for national security, and, more recently, in the 2010s, for unexplained reasons.[1][2] Nevertheless, various studies have concluded that the phenomenon does not represent a threat to national security, nor does it contain anything worthy of scientific pursuit (e.g., 1951 Flying Saucer Working Party, 1953 CIA Robertson Panel, USAF Project Blue Book, Condon Committee).

The Oxford English Dictionary defines a UFO as "An unidentified flying object; a 'flying saucer'". The first published book to use the word was authored by Donald E. Keyhoe.[3]

As an acronym, "UFO" was coined by Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, who headed Project Blue Book, then the USAF's official investigation of UFOs. He wrote, "Obviously the term 'flying saucer' is misleading when applied to objects of every conceivable shape and performance. For this reason the military prefers the more general, if less colorful, name: unidentified flying objects. UFO (pronounced Yoo-foe) for short."[4] Other phrases that were used officially and that predate the UFO acronym include "flying flapjack", "flying disc", "unexplained flying discs", and "unidentifiable object".[5][6][7]

The phrase "flying saucer" had gained widespread attention after the summer of 1947. On June 24, a civilian pilot named Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine objects flying in formation near Mount Rainier. Arnold timed the sighting and estimated the speed of discs to be over 1,200 mph (1,931 km/h). At the time, he claimed he described the objects flying in a saucer-like fashion, leading to newspaper accounts of "flying saucers" and "flying discs".[8][9] UFOs were commonly referred to colloquially, as a "Bogey" by military personnel and pilots during the cold war. The term "bogey" was originally used to report anomalies in radar blips, to indicate possible hostile forces that might be roaming in the area.[10]

In popular usage, the term UFO came to be used to refer to claims of alien spacecraft,[3] and because of the public and media ridicule associated with the topic, some ufologists and investigators prefer to use terms such as "unidentified aerial phenomenon" (UAP) or "anomalous phenomena", as in the title of the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP).[11] "Anomalous aerial vehicle" (AAV) or "unidentified aerial system" (UAS) are also sometimes used in a military aviation context to describe unidentified targets.[12]

I still feel guilty about mentioning the five year anniversary (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1009045.msg53909849#msg53909849). I feel like I'm partly responsible for bringing about the end of what is perhaps the finest work of literature in the history of human civilisation.

Batman's final sentence of his final post was the perfect sign off, though.

Its like talking to a kid tbh

So on one was getting the Space Odyssey reference. Are you all that young or am I just old af?!  ;D

the Space Odyssey reference.

Do you want COVILITH-20? Because that's how you get COVILITH-20.

Did they touch it already? Last time humans did, they learned how to craft and use tools ... If they find another one of these monoliths on the moon, they might wanna start a mission to Jupiter very soon ;D

Haha, you still think the sun is real? Wake up, sheeple!

The mysterious monolith that was found in a southern Utah desert has been removed by an “unknown party,” according to officials with the Bureau of Land Management.

Officials said they believe the structure was taken on the night of Nov. 27.

.....

Obviously a flying saucer sucked it up. No other explanation is possible.

There's no need for silly theories ....

I'm sorry Dave, but it's more like playing chess with a pigeon.

I've read terrible conspiracy theories...
....

Seriously?? Why, there are no conspiracy theories around this neck of the woods! What planet are you from?

and yes, pooping in the desert is a misdemeanor. There was a lot of that.

The three-sided obelisk appeared to be made of stainless steel, 10-feet tall and 18 inches wide. The object was welded together at each corner, with rivets attaching the side panels to a likely steel frame inside. The top of the monument did not show any weld marks, and it appears to be hollow at the top, and possibly bottom.

They're multiplying. It's definitely an alien life form.

Hopefully there's a porta-potty nearby...

maybe that is a porta potty but for the aliens. it is open at the top.

I think this work belongs to any artist, nothing like this happened in the past years and it was noticed this year. I know an artist who has made similar works, you can review it from the link I will leave.  " https://www.davidzwirner.com/exhibitions/new-works-bronze-and-steel "

Because the one in Romania looked very different to the one in USA.

Clearly a marketing stunt.

It's been done before. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_the_Skeptic)

These are the times when I can't help but laugh. if that thing looked like it in my country, probably everyone would run from fear and call all healers in my country to explain this event. That's why I wonder why it doesn't appear in Africa? Could it be that the aliens have no interest in Africans? or is it that aliens are afraid of Africans?

I was kinda hoping notbatman (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=244104) would chime in and connect these mysterious monoliths to a flat earth (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1009045.0) so then this thread could go on for another thousand pages or so.
Oh wait, it wasn't started on April 1st....  nevermind....
