Did aliens put this weird chunk of metal in a remote area of Utah?


  • A massive chunk of metal was found sitting in a remote area of Utah.
  • Nobody knows how the monolith got there, or its purpose, but theories are running wild.
  • The two leading theories are that it was placed by either aliens… or artists.

Anyone who has seen Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey knows that a large, still object appearing out of nowhere can be a sign of something big. So, when the Utah Department of Public Safety accidentally discovered what appears to be a large, perfectly proportioned chunk of metal sitting in a remote area of the state’s Red Rock Country, they were curious as to its origins.

Unfortunately for state officials, there appears to be no readily-available explanation. The monolith was spotted by helicopter as officials were observing sheep that are native to the region. The shiny glare of the metal caught their eye, and they decided to investigate. What they found was a curious metal beam with a triangular shape sticking 10-or-so feet out of the rocky ground.

The object was easy to spot from the helicopter thanks to its bold sliver sheen against the red rock backdrop. Having absolutely no idea what it was, they decided they had to get a closer look.

“One of the biologists is the one who spotted it and we just happened to fly directly over the top of it,” pilot Bret Hutchings told KSLTV. “He was like, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa, turn around, turn around!’ And I was like, ‘what.’ And he’s like, ‘There’s this thing back there – we’ve got to go look at it!’”

So… what is it? Well, it’s a chunk of metal, that much is clear, but beyond that, it’s impossible to say. There are apparently no markings on the monolith that would indicate its origin or purpose, and it doesn’t appear to have any reason to be there. Because of this, two theories have taken hold as possible explanations: aliens or artists. It’s pretty funny that these are the two most plausible explanations but here we are.

The alien theory is, well, about as wild as it gets. What purpose would aliens have for the object being placed on Earth? Assuming we’re talking about hyper-intelligent beings that have a vast understanding of technologies foreign to us, we’d never have a chance at figuring it out. The artist’s theory? Well, it’s pretty similar to the alien theory. What purpose would artists have for hiding an art installation in a remote area where it was unlikely that anyone would find it? Well, artists have done things like this before, and sometimes it’s a matter of waiting for the art to be found before coming forward to claim it, but thus far, nobody has done so.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
