The 2020 Monolith Phenomenon

Beginning November 2020, identical metallic triangular prisms — roughly 10 feet tall, polished metal — began appearing and disappearing in remote locations worldwide. The first was discovered in a Utah sandstone canyon by wildlife officials. It had been placed there between July-October 2016 and stood unnoticed for four years. Within days of its discovery and removal, identical monoliths appeared in Romania, California, UK, Colombia, and dozens of other locations. Over 200 appeared worldwide. An art collective called The Most Famous Artist claimed credit for some and sold replicas for $45,000, but many remained unclaimed. The story dominated news for a week then was buried. The monoliths were dismissed as art, but the original Utah monolith was planted in 2016 — four years before it was 'discovered.' The precision, global coordination, and the question of who planted the original (which no one has claimed) makes this either the most sophisticated art installation in history or something else entirely. The pattern mirrors UAP behavior: appear, attract attention, disappear, get explained away.
