That looks just like mine...

It's a gimmick from Goettl Air Conditioning!
They have now expanded into Utah.

I hope the white dots get painted quickly so visitors can easily find their way from the road and limit SAR use.

I am selfishly hoping the opposite, if enough SAR calls are in the area they will likely have to improve the road infrastructure, making areas of the Hayduke trail far easier to access!

This subject made it on one of the evening news outlets and more importantly mention in " The Onion" which has outdone itself on a profanity laden information page today. Oh, and happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I've been past that area on 191 a few times in the last 5-6 years. It looks about 10 miles east of the road. I didn't suspect its presence or see any aliens, though.

Apparently the structure has already been removed, but nobody has owned up to the removal yet.

It wasn't me. However, when I saw where it was, I had to laugh at its location being described as "remote". The last couple miles look like tough going, but 191 is the most heavily-traveled road in that part of the state.

They just beamed it up because they realized there is no intelligent life here to monitor.

Everyone is a critic of the forum these days.

They don't look prepared for desert travel.

[Alston_Neal]

@big_load
They don't look like tweekers either.

the aliens threw it in the back of a pickup truck and took off

Here is the story of its removal per Instagram so you know. I guess I dont know how to copy and paste from I.G. so I have some screen shots. The guys username is there in case anyone wants to check it out. He has some interesting pictures of "the dudes" and the traffic.

Just shows the wonders of social media... more like the irresponsible use of social media.

And if the Instagram post by rossbernards isn't the absolute height of hypocrisy, I don't know what is.

* taking a 6 hour drive to do what?
do the same stupid thing as everyone else
* cars parked everywhere on delicate desert landscape?
Ok, so where did 'ross' park? Did he levitate his vehicle?
* approaching from every direction to try and reach it, permanently altering the untouched landscape?
Again, how did 'ross' and his buddies get there? Yup, by walking on the same delicate ground he's blaming everyone else for doing.

Along with the irresponsibility of social media (in this case also mainstream media), I fault BLM the most.

Next time BLM personnel encounter something like this, hop out of the chopper, remove it immediately and DON'T post photos & videos anywhere. Or if you must, report it to supervisors for what to do about it, but DO NOT publicize it!

@chumley posted that it had been there for several years. The news media, followed by social media brought about all the extra attention.

[chumley]

Because ultimately it is in the nature of a lot of humans to desire to be like others, thus people follow. And copy. And copy. And copy. And copy.

I hate people.

I love when @friendofthundergod is even more cheerful than usual.

Oh, who cares if these monoliths are vanishing. The bone is in the air people! The bone is in the air!

You know what frightens me? If the Overlords should descend upon us and we should be told that, in fact, this is the Last Generation!
