That's interesting, 2001 A Space Odyssey was just on one of the movie channels last week.
Hadn't seen it in years and watched it all the way through.

I thought we had gotten past smashing bones with bones..

All I have to say is "ancient weapons and hokey religions are no substitute for a good blaster kid".....

Finally - somebody found the darn thing. I bet you - who ever put it there thought it would NEVER be found. Time to turn the monkeys loose ...........

Great quote, but I like this one "Space guns don't kill ya, they just make you stiff!".

P.S. if the "monolith" is made of metal, then it isn't a monolith (big rock).

I've been to specific places in the Rocky Mountains where my imagination will begin to speculate that no man has ever been here. Then I step on a rusty beer can.......

It probably was put there last summer by some extraterrestrial life form. When they decode the writings it will say "Beam me up Scottie, there's no intelligent life down here."

If you check Google Earth and move back in the time function, it was there in 10-2016 and not there in 8-2015.

Heheheheheheh!!!!! My wife and I were just talking about this the other day. So, let's say there is intelligent life in the Universe that has the ability to visit far away Galaxies. Before they get anywhere near us they will "hear" us. They may decide early on that it's better to just leave that one alone and let it ripen a bit more.....

I confess, I left it there by accident. I completely forgot where I set it down. I remembered I had it in Colorado then I got to Nevada and it was gone.

Not quite along the same vein but also not a goofy copycat endeavor... I remember when this happened along the beaches where I was born...

The location has been all over the news today. Somebody or group of somebodies on Reddit claim credit for finding it.

That's a good link. It's an older article and as always this site dropped a zero but it happened in 1946, not 2014.
What I couldn't get from the article; did they ever figure out that it was a hoax, or is this 2006 article the first time that fact was made public?
