Gee, I go play a video game for a few hours and what happens? Colorado finally gets its very own monolith. And apparently I’m about the last one to hear about it.
Anyway, it’s out in a field somewhere up near Fort Collins and one story is that somebody local put it up to mess with a neighbor who believes in aliens, conspiracies, and all that. The believer may or may not be amused. Same might be said for the landowner now hosting the monolith, unless of course, that owner built the thing.
Oh well, at least I’m not hearing about it a week after it happened.
Below, a photo from Fox 31 Denver reveals human (?) involvement. That, or aliens who litter and drive terrestrial vehicles. I notice they set the thing on four spindly legs anchored in concrete. Open on top is bad, letting in all kinds of weather. And it’s rectangular, like the ones in “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Earth-based monoliths are usually triangular. But maybe there is method in their madness, something we’ve yet to comprehend.

Hard to take a bad picture in Colorado! 🙂
It could be aliens, but I don’t know of many aliens that use wooden crates to haul things around in. But it could be very smart aliens trying to make this look like humans did it …
Ohhh, I get it. Avert suspicion. Lull us into complacency, etc. I think you’re on to something…
Oh Andrew, I do so like your thinking ! [grin]
He’s clever. Got to keep an eye on that guy.
I wish they’d removed their junk – it would’ve looked terrific without all the detritus.
No doubt the aliens did that just to make it look more like a human project.
I think you and Andrew are spending too much time together … :\
ROFL! 🤫
so interesting
Well it certainly got my attention. But then, I’m easily amused.
And then there’s this: “The Bellvue monolith is on private property owned by Rob and Lori Graves, who also own the adjacent Howling Cow Cafe and Morning Fresh Dairy Farm.” Could the monolith have been erected to create publicity and draw customers to the Howling Cow Cafe?
(Bellvue is a small community 8 miles northwest of Fort Collins.)
I think those wooden pallets have been there awhile judging from the height of the grass/weeds growing up through some of them . . . Maybe the aliens, er, installers should have hauled them away or stacked them neatly somewhere nearby to beautify the monolith’s environs a bit more artistically.
You’re very sharp-eyed. I hadn’t noticed the grass. I did read somewhere that the monolith actually appeared last Sunday, 4 days ago. Either the grass grew up fairly fast or, being out in the middle of a field, it might have been pretty long to begin with.
