Imagine being so bored you haul a shiny block out into the middle of the desert just because.

Actually there's a group of YouTubers putting those up all over the world in different locations

A monolith? Is it a single thing or was it built with things like nuts, bolts, welding, etc.?

If you find a building size structure then we talk.

Instead of a silly jokey segment, why didnt you do some real journalism and ask the gentleman to expound on exactly WHY he thought it was quote "definitely manmade".

[taradoran]

Funny how all the craziest distractions (events and catastrophes )seem to happen during election time .

Its already been proved to be an art project by someone back in like 2020 i thought.

[alexlianarosalin]

They already found the artist behind all those monoliths

Just a test by the government, the governments all work together...anything to take our mind off of what is truly going on.

The Monolith Monsters in 2024.
Remember the classic movie folks?

Why is this guy not getting arrested for littering, and why do the media say they don't know...

[SixStringHarmonies]

How about someone testing the metal? Doing an actual investigation?

A bit bizarre to leave an object at considerable expense in places where almost no people travel?

Shame on anyone perpetrating a hoax of this nature, if that's what it is.

[Taylor-qygp]

You know what boredom is? If it’s actually valuable they either take it with them or bury/hide valuable items like a squirrel.

[aceanalysis]

Why dont you test that thing to see if that man made.

[truckeejp]

Not as defined, this is something a carpenter made from plexiglass and set in the desert, nothing special, hey let's all make one'

[dave]

Crop circles are so 20th century. Aliens gotta be hip, too. 🤘👽

[rerun]

It's not a monolith. I know everyone loves to say that word. This is just a humble pillar.

[gsutton]

Now, if one of these is ever found silently hovering just above the Earth in apparent defiance of gravity, THAT would be awesome!
