How Reddit Hunted Down The 'Monolith Thieves', Using Google Maps

In November 2020, an alien monolith straight out of Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey appeared in Utah, and the world could not get enough of it. Was it really a piece of space-age alien tech, sent here by mysterious extraterrestrial benefactors? Or is the answer to this mystery a little closer to home? Let’s get into it.

I thought mine was clearly a joke and had no idea why so many people believed it

Romanian here: The monolith outside Piatra Neamt was not designed to look more alien, that's simply how it looks after welders try to smooth it down with an angle grinder.

Human: Boy, you do know pranking authorities is illegal no?
Alien:








As if aliens will get the permission if they ask for it

My theory is that the monolith is a very expensive shitpost

As a person from utah I can say that, yes aliens drop items here all the time and, yes aliens shop at our home depot's all the time!

The monolith In Atascadero was a sad and unfortunate event. My mother went to high school with the guys who made it, his dad had recently died so to keep his friends close he tried to make one. He and his buddies did and it was great, he was so happy when he put it up and was just devastated when those people pushed it down...

Welder here, those “squiggles” are grinder marks. The welder in question most likely tried to grind the surface to try and make it more shiny.

Everyone gangsta till the monoliths spilt into 5 pieces and fly while shooting lasers at everything.
