my money is on it being a part of a cicada puzzle but who knows.

Oh man…I really hope these are aliens. I want something good to come of 2020.
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.
- how can I be the first one to make this joke, jeez this place is classy
standing where an ancient Dacian fortress used to be
It’s one thing to do it in the desert but don’t dig into archaeology to do your art stunts.
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”.
You weren’t, bobtato beat you to it.
All hail the mysterious monolith!
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.
