This topic has been bouncing around various on-line news sites and such, and I still don’t know whether it’s a hoax or a real phenomenon. To wit: monoliths, these seemingly transparent things that have been spotted, indeed they’ve been photographed (around the U.S., western states in particular, and yet in Europe, too), and then the stories ended with most of them “torn down”.
Does anyone know what this means? Is it that the photographs have been proved false or that these office building-like towers have been literally razed? The pictures are there, and so far as I can gather there’s been no controversy about this topic. as to the truth of it, but could somewhere on these wonderful boards explain all this to me, to the extent that it’s explicable?
If the aforementioned phenomenon a hoax or joke or some kind, or are there real monoliths popping up here and there that need to be demolished? They’ve been spotted a good deal in the American Southwest, one outside Las Vegas in particular. I’m not, I don’t believe, a naive person, but I would like to know WTF is going on regarded these (co-called) monoliths. If it’s a Web “in joke”, that’s fine by me. The Bigfoot Of The Internet? I wouldn’t be surprised.
Please offer reasonable answers, not ad hominem attacks on me and my presumed delusional disorder. I have no such thing. If there’s a humorous explanation, I can deal with it. Humorous responses are okay. I’m somewhat serious, not solemn, regarding these supposedly giant things being spotted all over the place.
BTW, thanks for what polite and intelligent answers I receive; and I wish all and sundry here a happy and healthy Independence Day
I’m not good with links, however I just did a google search with the subject line mysterious monoliths, and I got an embarrassment of riches, from news sites, blogs and the like, complete with pictures. So there it is!
Standing at six feet, five inches tall and 13” wide on each of its three faces, the monolith was made of folded sheet metal and held together with rebar and concrete, authorities said.
Steel, shmeel, I want to see a real monolith. That shit is heavy, however. I know a stonemason who didn’t put a nice stone table in his own apartment, because he did not want to haul it up a couple of flights of stairs.
There are allegedly 246 monoliths that have been observed since the initial finding in Utah. Many of them have been anonymously removed, which is also kind of awesome.
