What is with the monolith?

[Moontanman]

For some reason what appears to be a world wide prank of some sort is being reported on. A monolith was found in Utah and now what are though tto be copies have been found around the world from eastern europe to columbia 4 or five have been found. If it's a prank it must be rather expensive to place stainless steel monoliths around the globe. Anyone have any ideas or new reports? 

My fave take!

The UK one is reported here on the BBC's children's channel/site. It was produced by a local man who was amused by the Utah one.

A cruddy commercial?!

That's obviously Wile  E. Coyote who ran into the "monolith" while chasing the road runner.  It even has "ACME" at the bottom!

With this pandemic, and all the lockdowns, people have too much free time on their hands ???

My first thought was that it’s a clever social media marketing ploy to promote the Elon Musk SpaceX global internet network Starlink project.  Just a random guess, though. 
 

Regardless, ‘it’s the season:

It looks like The Most Famous Artist from Santa-Fe is the author of the first one.

I'm not sure I buy that, the one in Utah seemed a lot bigger, two men standing beside it are what I am using to gauge it's size.

They are back.  This one is in Wales.

I liked the one that was inscribed with the words NOT BANKSY on its side.

I wonder if monoliths are what happens when a crop circle maker learns to weld.

A mysterious monolith has suddenly appeared on a hilltop in Powys.

The gleaming, silver structure was spotted by walkers on Hay Bluff, near the town of Hay-on-Wye on the weekend.

Sprouting up out of the mud and measuring about 10ft (3m) tall, its discovery has led many to take to social media to question who put it there and why.

Some have pondered whether or not the object could be of extra-terrestrial origin....
