Monolith discovered Oregon Cascades!

Monolith discovered Oregon Cascades! (AP, Dec 1.)

Fieldwork, applying a computational photography technique, Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), has demonstrated this “object” is composed of a metallic oxide of Aurum (gold), unknown on Earth.  

Meteoritic origin is a presumed, after initial analysis, or perhaps delivered to Earth by asteroid impacts during a heavy bombardment. Conversely, a planetesimal origin is possible, since these solid objects exist in protoplanetary disks and debris disks. Without contacting or removing it, dubbed Mazama Monolith, mass, depth and impact trajectory are not known.

An XREF remote digital scan of the interior revealed rippling and fragmentation that may have occurred as the object entered the Earth’s dense nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. No radioactivity has been recorded, though sensors are monitoring anomalous vibrations in continuous emission.

A second now-popular hypothesis: the object was placed by an alien species, with various intents and purposes, remains highly speculative. Two other “theories" lacking credibility, here so noted: one, the "shamanic” theory, the monolith is a virtual creation, a holographic thought-wave, hence explaining how it changes color and dimension as one shifts position; two, the “marxist” theory, the object is a remnant of 20th century logging debris.

 

This remarkable object, happened upon by intrepid avocational petroglyph researchers is in a remote, nearly inaccessible region of basaltic lava fields located within the ash-fall circumference of Mt. Mazama. These intrepids wish to remain anonymous.

Other artifacts very recently discovered in the vicinity, now sequestered by the U.S. Air Force Unknown Found Objects (U.F.O.) unit from Nevada, indicate all options must remain open at this time. This is not art — it’s just good science. 

What is known is this: the Mazama Monolith is certainly Not a sound-stage studio production as was the faked Utah monument, appearing and disappearing in its fifteen-minute blitz of fame — this is the Real Thing, in place since time immemorial some might say.
