Mysterious monolith appears in Utah desert

It is definitely religious.  Likely a Phallus See.

Have the phallus over for a beer and maybe some poker.

How do you know this mysterious metal monolith is not capable of changing shape?

Not a monolith.

Trilith, because of the three sides, right?

I think I'm getting the hang of this.

  It's not a monolith if it has more than one side.

:uh:
no, not at all.  We do not live in a one dimensional world.

Isn't the "mono" part referred to it being carved out of a single piece? Which the first one failed to accomplish since I saw something that looked like screws on it.

That's the joke.

Well, monolith literally means "one stone", after all.

Does the wooden phallus have any stones?

Does the wooden phallus have any stones?

No, the vandals cut its rocks off too.

At least the vandals didn't take the handle.

It's now California's turn... 

New mystery metal monolith appears on a California mountaintop
Not long after a similar structure was discovered in a Utah desert, a silvery column has been found in Atascadero

A new mystery metal monolith has appeared atop a mountain in California, just a week after a similar structure captured the imagination of the world when it was discovered in the deserts of Utah – before being taken down and disappeared.

The local newspaper in the small town of Atascadero, on the central California coast, reported that the silvery column had been found atop Pine mountain where dozens of local hikers made the trip to view it – and post their pictures on the internet.

"The three-sided obelisk appeared to be made of stainless steel, 10-feet tall and 18 inches wide. The object was welded together at each corner, with rivets attaching the side panels to a likely steel frame inside," the Atascadero News reported.

Unlike its Utah sibling – which was firmly mounted in the rocks where it was found – the Atascadero monolith was apparently a little wobbly and the newspaper reported that it might be possible to push it over.

The aliens are getting sloppy.

No way this isn't part of some stupid marketing campaign, right?

If so then they play the long game, as the Utah original was apparently on Google Earth images from years ago, I think?

Nah, this is just the crop circles for the 2020s.  Someone does a thing, gets a bunch of media attention, so copycats start springing up.
