It's a piece of metal. It's someone's "performance art". Drill away on the pop rivets, move the metal, pack the sacred dirt back in place. Whatever.So, HERE IT IS !

And, of course, idiots are already popping rivets out of it to look inside, too !

Looks like the aliens took it back.or it may just get removed...
If they keep screwing with those rivets, there is a very good chance they’re going to let the alien out.
Yes, the local news in northern Utah reported last night that the monolith has been removed by unknown sources.I was thinking more like vengeful sprits like the ones in the ark in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It's been removed by a unknown person or group.

I think it was probably built by one of Westworld’s robotic hosts after they all went berserk. Some became killer robots, and others became rogue artists with no regard for the sanctity of public lands.

I thought you were joking about Westworld, but apparently they were filming in the area at the time the monolith appeared.
Time to watch the 3rd season of the series for any desert scenes. Perhaps the studio hired someone to retrieve the monolith after filming, they didn't, and the studio said "oh crap" when it recently became national news and retrieved it during the night.https://www.cnet.com/news/mysterious-utah-monolith-puzzle-has-been-solved-by-internet-sleuths/

Hey Stealth!
Is the land that this monument sits on in a park or not? If it is, then why shouldn't people be allowed to go look at it? Don't understand how walking on baked, desert earth is going to "tear it up". The thing is not located on the slope of some 10,000 foot high delicate alpine forest. Your post comes across as elitist.
If I ever make it out that way, despite my idiotic douchebag status (apparent), I'll be certain to check it out and encourage anyone else who wants to see it to do the same. Parks are for everyone, not just the self appointed guardians who want it all to themselves.
So, here we are a few days later.
First thing to note: I did not say you weren't allowed to go there. No one has restricted you from doing so. No one has closed the area to you. No one is proposing to do so. You are perfectly free to visit, take a picture, or whatever. Your rights have not been infringed in any way.
You are also perfectly free to choose not to do so. And I was pleading for you to make that decision. Perhaps I did not do so in the best manner, and I will own that. But my reasoning still stands.
(and by the way, this is NOT in the National Park.....which doesn't really change the reasoning in any way).
Second: This area IS fragile. And there is plenty of damage and impact that can occur to this area even though it isn't "on the slope of some 10,000 foot high delicate alpine forest". Perhaps even more so. See that's part of the problem.......too many people (yourself included??) see places like this as desert wastelands and therefore open to whatever sort of "tearing it up" they want to do because it's just lifeless and desolate anyway, right? But if you really looked (actually not all that hard) and saw the ecosystem/geology/history for what it was instead of just a place to rev your toys, you would find that it is indeed at risk from "certain kinds" of use (and mis-use).
Third: As expected, folks are already crawling all over the place, and yes the impact has already begun. See this snippet from an article out today: Hundreds travelled to see the gleaming, almost otherworldly object. Visitors parked vehicles on plants and left behind waste, the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) said, adding that the site does not have a parking lot, bathrooms or cellphone coverage and some cars had to be towed from the remote area after getting stuck. Were you one of them? Are you proud of it? Did you get your jollies? Was it worth it? More importantly, did it really make any difference in your life?
I know some of the people who you've seen mentioned and pictured in the articles that are being posted online. As far as I can see, none of their lives have been significantly improved now that they have their selfies posted next to the monolith. In fact, most of them will largely forget the experience soon enough (or at least the thrill will be gone) as they move on to whatever is the latest cool thing.....but there trash will still be out there, there tire tracks will still have damaged the cryptobiotic soil, the wildlife will still be spooked, their **** and waste will still be doing what it does, and one more pristine, quiet, wild, and "untouched" place will no longer be so. But hey, they checked off that thing on their list, so it's all good right?
Fourth: "Diesel Dave" has already shown up (of course) and posted video/pics of himself standing on top of the thing. And he flew a helicopter and crew in to do so. Wow, ain't he cool? For the record.....he is most certainly an "idiotic douchebag". In the extreme.
I rest my case with that.
Lastly: You are absolutely welcome to come visit this area, and to roam around all you want. Come spend some time here and experience it for what it is (and if you can't find a mindblowing sense of wonder/astonishment/awe in the canyons around here you are definitely missing something inside). You can even "recreate" in MANY ways (including motorized) that are thrilling, challenging, and hugely fun without unnecessary impact. Heck, lots of folks have spiritual/religious awakenings in these places and that's cool too. But slow down, pay attention, turn down the volume, and experience the place itself for cripe's sake. Really - it is unbelievably awesome. Please....HONESTLY....come and enjoy. It IS your right and you ARE welcome.
But if you are doing it just to stamp your cool ticket, or to jump on to the trend of the moment, or especially if you feel the need to "leave your mark" (or would do so unknowingly because you just aren't paying attention).....well you can call me an elitist if you want, but just stay home.
(of course it is also within your rights to be "an idiotic douchebag" if you want and just tear things up, but do you really want to do that? really?)

Finally, yes I did come and take the monument.
A scifi movie in our future ?
Probably copycats.
Or is it?
Remember crop circles?
It was an art installment...it has already been removed after a month.....stay calm.
