The mysterious Utah monolith: beings from another world?

Mystery Monolith: It's in Romania now, dammisiech!

End of November. A mysterious monolith appears in Utah. Then it disappears again. Then it reappears. Days later, in Romania. Aliens, is 2020 the year of first contact?
The mystery surrounding the mysterious monolith continues. On 23 November, the Utah Department of Public Safety discovers it during a sheep-counting expedition (no joke) in the mountainous Utah desert. Then he disappears again. Without a trace.
Function? Origin? Nobody knows. Except the government, perhaps.
Now the sensation: on 27 November, the monolith is said to have reappeared. In Romania, this time near an ancient Dacian fortress in the Kreis Neamt. This is because - like the monolith in Utah - it disappeared again without a trace shortly after its discovery.
Something is going on.
Utah, Romania... Greenland?
The question of the culprit remains. The Romanian authorities only told Euro Weekly that the site where the body was found was a private property. A culturally protected one at that.
"Official permission should have been obtained from the Ministry of Culture before the installation," said Rocsana Josanu from the authorities.
Why Josanu expects extraterrestrials to deal with terrestrial bureaucracy is not clear. The research of Twitter user Mothra P.I is far more revealing.
He seems to know where the monolith will be found next:
«The monolith from Utah disappears and then reappears in Romania. So if the aliens like equilateral triangles, we should go looking in Greenland next...»
A bold claim. However, Mothra P.I. doesn't seem to have fallen on his head and backs up his prediction with a picture of a sophisticated map that he meticulously crafted himself.
Explanation: The monolith, which is around three metres tall, has the shape of an equilateral triangle. If you connect the two previous locations to form a line, you get the base of a triangle. If you now run two lines of equal length, angled at 45 degrees, upwards, they meet in Greenland.
In all probability, the closest place where they were found.
And what about unknown flying object 2020 SO?
While we were racking our brains over the disappearance and reappearance of the monolith, an unknown flying object appeared near the Earth on the night of 1 to 2 December. So close, in fact, that it could be seen with ordinary telescopes.
Object "2020 SO". Aliens, perhaps?
NASA denies. Of course it does. It's part of the government. In any case, America's space agency says that 2020 SO was discovered on 17 September by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii. About two months before the discovery of the first monolith. NASA is pretty quick to rule out the possibility that 2020 SO could be an asteroid.
My suspicion: Still aliens.
NASA, however, speaks of a presumably man-made object because, according to its calculations, it orbits the sun in a similar orbit to the Earth. Presumably a part of the carrier rocket that carried the unmanned NASA mission "Surveyor 2" towards the moon in September 1966. While Surveyor 2 crash-landed on the moon, its carrier rocket flew past the moon as planned and into an orbit around the sun.
Sounds plausible. But last October, the agency calculated that 2020 SO would have caught up with Earth around the end of November and would be orbiting around us for a few months due to the planet's gravity.
The end of November. Monolith. Utah. Romania. Yeah, right. That's clear.
And then, in its latest announcement, NASA suddenly stops talking about gravity and orbits - orbits - and instead talks about solar winds and uncontrolled trajectories. Sounds to me more like something that is simply pursuing its own goals. Aliens, for example. Aliens with a monolith on board. A monolith that, like the one in Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", is supposed to help humanity reach the next stage of evolution.
Stay tuned, friends. I'm staying on top of this sensational story. <p
