Monolith Appears in Santa Barbara
By an edhat reader
No town is safe from the mysterious monolith appearances. The mysterious hunk of metal appeared on the roof of Santa Barbara Forge at 626 E. Gutierrez Street. The question remains, who did it?

Dec 08, 2020 02:20 PMVery disappointing if they are not extra-terrestrial. We need some super intelligent beings to come down and show us the way. Otherwise this is not going to end well.

Dec 08, 2020 07:56 AMIt's impossible for most humans not to be creative or active. It's like asking toddlers to stand still, babies not to cry, young people not to (ahem) yearn. Monoliths are what someone with time on their hands dreamed up and made, not a lot different from building garden boxes, sewing masks or aborigines painting on cave walls. It's our nature, a blessing or a curse depending on how its deployed.

A copycat does nothing more than echo an original.
Boring ...
Come up with something new.

Dec 07, 2020 09:10 PMStelae?
Or, in these cases, steelae.

Dec 07, 2020 07:57 PMYes, this is more of an obelisk—but wait, no, those taper toward the top. What do we call these three- or four-sided metal monument-like things?

Dec 07, 2020 02:41 PMThat property owner should properly have it removed before teens start climbing the building for a selfie. A lawsuit waiting to happen.

Dec 07, 2020 01:32 PMDid someone other than Forge employees place the monolith, or, did Forge personnel place the monolith? The Forge business works with steel and metal, could have easily made the monolith and placed it above the business. Who dunnit?

Dec 07, 2020 12:10 PMSame here, but people are having fun so whatever! Live and let live. This one bugs me way less though since it didn't permanently alter the natural landscape.

Dec 07, 2020 09:57 AMLOL! Love that second photo ... supplication to the monolith. It was interesting how they found the GPS location of the first one in Utah. Someone reviewed the flight track of the helicopter doing the Bighorn sheep survey that discovered the monolith then noted the coordinate when the copter landed to inspect. Clever. It was near the east edge of the Needles District of Canyonlands Nat'l Park south of Moab and west of Monticello. On the way to Newspaper Rock.
