lapford34102 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 This made me smile this morning https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55056570 I loved the line "It is illegal to install structures or art without authorisation on federally managed public lands, no matter what planet you're from," the department said."

RMweb Premium Andy Kirkham Posted November 25, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) I wish they wouldn't call it a monolith. A monolith is by definition a stone.

Either that or I couldn't spot it. It's not the "mainstream media" that noticed it, it was Utah state public safety officials counting bighorn sheep who spotted it and published a press release.

Changing to 3D view seems to show a very long shadow, so the sun was quite low and it is lower than the surrounding rocks. I wonder if that is a dirt road or a dried up river bed.....
