News of the discovery quickly went viral online, with many noticing similarities between Kubrick’s classic sci-fi film 2001: A Space Odyssey and similar objects with strange alien monoliths that make huge leaps in human progress.
Officials refused to reveal the location of the metal-to-metal obelisk as curious spectators would go into the remote desert, but Internet Suthoths still managed to pinpoint its location. Google Earth images show that it has been there since 2016 or 2015

Officials refused to let the location of the fear budget out of fear that curious spectators would go into the remote desert, but Internet Suthoths still managed to direct its position in a matter of hours.
a Reddit user Said they have managed to find the obelisk geographically using the surrounding rock formations.
Sharing Google Earth location – where a small structure can be seen, about six miles from the nearest road – the user said that the first photo of this structure was taken by Google in the year 2016.
Some satellite images of the monolith are a year old in early 2015.
Lt. Nick Street, a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, said the structure was possible in ’40, 50 years, perhaps longer. ‘
Officials suggest it could have been built by an artist or a huge fan of 2001: Space Odyssey – the structure resembles machines found in Arthur C. Clark’s story (pictured)

‘It’s the type of material that doesn’t rub off with elements. It may be only a few years old, who knows. On Tuesday, he said, there is no real way out based on how much time he has actually been there. ‘
This mystery has spawned many theories as to how the alien invasion eventually led to the artist’s unfamiliar work.
Some drew attention to the resemblance of the resemblance to the relentless work of American artist John M. McCracken, who lived for a while in nearby New Mexico, and died in 2011.
Kraken was known for his freestanding sculptures in the shape of pyramids, cubes or attractive slabs.
In his exhibit at the David Zwinner Art Gallery in New York, he is intrigued by the sculptural bean-like sculptures of the Mercran.
A spokesman for David Zwirner said on Tuesday that it was not the job of a Maracan, but probably. By paying tribute by a fellow artist.
However the next day Zwirner made another statement in which he suggested that the part was actually by McCrane, meaning that it had been found in the desert for almost a decade.
Zwirner said, ‘The gallery is divided on this. ‘I believe this is definitely by John.’
He added: ‘Who would have thought that 2020 was another surprise for us. Just when we thought we saw it all. Let’s see. ‘
On social media, others commented on his discovery during a tumultuous year that has seen the world caught up by the Covid-19 epidemic, and optimistically speculated that its entire function could have been done differently.
This is the ‘reset’ button for 2020. Would someone please press it quickly? Made fun of an Instagram user.

“We were joking that if one of us suddenly disappeared, the rest of us would run for it,” he told local news channel KSLTV.
Utah has a history ‘Land Art,’ Unusual installations that stood away from population centers in the 1960s and 70s.
In 1970, artist Robert Smithson’s 1,500-foot-long coil, the most famous, spiral jetty, was made of mud, salt crystals and basalt.
Located on the north-east shore of Great Salt Lake near Rosel Point, the jetty is visible and disappears depending on the water level.
So far no one was able to send in the perfect solution, which is not strange.
Workers took videos and photos of object objects, but left in place.
So far, it has not disturbed the Byrne sheep living in southern Utah.
Their population once dwindled to less than a thousand in the 1970s, but conservation efforts have made a major comeback in recent decades.
On social media, others commented during the critical year about his discovery that the world has been gripped by the Covid-19 epidemic and said to suggest an alien invasion is not impossible.
The monolith is located inside a red stone cove but workers have kept details about its exact location so as not to endanger others to get a closer look.
