The artist died in 2011 but apparently the one in Utah likely appeared around 2016

and it’s also been mysteriously removed by an unknown party

Whereas the Utah monolith was probably the work of John McCracken, I’m betting this one is the work of his brother Phil.

Need another one so we can triangulate what’s between them all.

Annnnd no thanks on meeting aliens in 2020. Just our luck we’d get “ACK ACK!”

Maybe it’s the same one and has just moved through time and relative dimension in space.

“Mysteriously vanished” sounds way spookier than “hauled away”.

Who’s the more foolish, the fool or the fool who says something foolish, reflects on it, decides it was foolish, and then deletes it to keep the FBI off my back? Uh, asking for a friend.
