Unless its dimensions have the ratio of 1:4:9 . . . it’s a fake. And not from a real fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Space Oddity? Possible. ---

From some of the pictures it looks like it’s actually a triangular prism shape. You are right that the dimensions are way off if they were going for a 2001 thing. ---

Sleuths found that it was placed some time between Aug 2015 and Oct 2016 according to review of satellite images. And it isn’t a “Monolith” since it wasn’t a single piece of rock. Didn’t take long for people to find it either. The Diesel brothers visited it with quite a group of people. And one of my friends posted a link to Google Earth for it. > **[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/flx/warn/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fearth.google.com%2Fweb%2Fsearch%2F38.343083%2C%2B-109.666194%2F%4038.34302799%2C-109.66619558%2C1314.96674397a%2C175.7735827d%2C35y%2C43.7676749h%2C28.47747321t%2C0.00000121r%2Fdata%3DCigiJgokCSGKp3KoQjFAER-Kp3KoQjHAGWIwxVteeDJAIYZPajjRjlPAMicKJQojCiExZDJyck9ZWGkydzdHTlE3Z0RNU0R3VGpWM3g5UEdEWmk%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0kmdsZvqOTMUrtcA4XYkdPkJ1NCsHdk8yUEN7h28koqapogYHsoooxJOY&h=AUAPCDXCN1kEo1UrSMDjugGxu4DIAG-r-aUr_AzZBp_fEZ_b0uYQjCX14LhRpcGjSjBBitFG2S5ElKwf8f07m1D18nQNOkKON_WjncDmTX-4KplW2M3IzSYlMyNJf96eeA9CkSMFwsj8nVHzWG9uv42svPQk5seBC8NuBpdxTfL1L7SkOsO_5EFeFr7PhGFVqvpOkPpl-t49oJsshT_zlwRCPzAmH-qPOmHZP-Yg19faHYYfM1xlwTDx3Q)** ---

Not sure why media want to get pranked like this. The lack of investigative journalism is clearly a cause of this. And eye-ball business models. “Hey, let’s make a dozen of these monoliths, then (tee-hee) just erect them, see what happens.” “OK, the first one has finally been found. Now, let’s put one in,… Romania!!” “OK, now Atascadero!!” ---
