Utah public safety officers were stunned last week when they stumbled on what looked like something out of a sci-fi space film: a chrome monolith standing upright, deep in the remote desert.

The officers were in a helicopter helping wildlife workers count bighorn sheep when they spotted the strange sight.

If you’ve seen the 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” you’ll likely see the resemblance to the monolith at the beginning of the movie.

Pilot Bret Hutchings actually referenced the film when he was commenting on the find.

He guessed that maybe the object was placed by an artist who was a fan of the movie. Hutchings estimated its height at between 10 and 12 feet.

Authorities are investigating the find and aren’t revealing the location of the monolith.

This seems really convenient to found in that location in that condition, seems like an artist's hiding place to finish that prop. Or perhaps this was from another civilatization before us since there's been cases of archeological stuff found in mint or near-mint conditions.
EDIT: People are saying this is fake now because not a lot of people are talking about it?

Damn someone else already posted it.

I liked this article, since it's a PSA that it's also illegal for extraterrestials to do this.
I've bolded the relevant part.


A Towering Metallic Monolith Just Was Discovered in a Remote Area of Utah​

The Utah Department of Public Safety has put itself to the fullest possible use by not only counting bighorn sheep roaming the region but also discovering an unusual fixture jutting out from the rocky landscape. Last week, state employees stumbled upon a nearly 12-foot-tall silver monolith while flying overhead. Mimicking the inexplicable structure in the opening scene of Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the lustrous object appears to be made of metal and is located in an undisclosed area.


In a statement about the discovery, the department offered a reminder to the mysterious entity responsible for the monolith: “It is illegal to install structures or art without authorization on federally managed public lands, no matter what planet you’re from.”


As of Tuesday morning, it’s still unknown who created the structure, although internet sleuths who located the object on Google Earth suggest it may have been in existence for more than five years. The department is urging folks not to attempt to locate the monolith following a California woman’s disappearance for nearly two weeks at Zion National Park.

What's it made out of? It had to be light enough for whoever did it to drag it all the way out there, along with the tools to mount it into the ground. Maybe he helicoptered it out?
 
Isn't the ratio of the sides wrong from the 2001 version?
