Monoliths in California, Utah and Romania aren't gifts real aliens might send to Earth
Millions of people gawked at the recent discovery of a triangular prism , fabricated in shiny metal and as tall as an elephant, erected in a remote Utah canyon. Careful scrutiny of imagery on Google Earth indicated that the monolith has been sitting unnoticed in the Beehive State for about five years.
Many commentators have suggested that well-known installation artists are the perpetrators, although no one has come forth to accept either praise or blame.

"Our dives were filmed in a privately-owned cave called a 'cenote' that is not open to the public, but it has an exceptionally abundant fauna for reasons that are still not understood," Iliffe said. "The entrance pool even has a crocodile. Once we jump in the water from a 10-foot-high ledge, there is no quick way to get out, but fortunately the crocodile tends to be more shy than it is aggressive."
Iliffe said that cenotes from the northwestern corner of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula are laid out in a large, well-defined semicircle about 110 miles in diameter called the Ring of Cenotes. This ring marks the edge of the impact crater formed when a six-mile-wide meteor struck the area.

China spacecraft is returning to Earth with moon samples in a first
GUANGZHOU, China — A Chinese spacecraft carrying lunar samples has blasted off from the moon and is preparing to come back to Earth.
It's the first time China has launched a spacecraft from an extraterrestrial body and the first time it has collected moon samples. If the moon samples make it back to Earth, China will be only the third country in the world to retrieve lunar samples after the efforts by the U.S. in the 1960s and the Soviet Union in the 1970s.

The deteriorating telescope's 900-ton instrument platform, suspended by cables 450 feet (137 meters) above a 1,000-foot-wide (305 meters) bowl-shaped reflector dish, fell on Tuesday morning, the U.S. National Science Foundation said. No injuries were reported, it added.

How can a simple column of metal capture the world's imagination? Easy: Put it in Utah's Red Rock Country and suggest it's the work of extraterrestrial beings.

In a single week, a metal obelisk in a remote part of southeastern Utah was discovered, rose to international fame, turned regular people into art tourists and was then removed with extreme prejudice. The obelisk offered a pleasing distraction during trying times. It also displayed the power of art to provoke reactions and jumpstart conversations. We'll explore the mystery of the obelisk this Friday at 11 a.m. MST.
