      Well, I am not an expert in Aliens or Monoliths, but it is highly unlikely that Aliens have placed them. There is currently very little evidence for life on other planets and even if there is, it is unlikely they will have the same intelligence. Life is a very complicated thing and the chance of it ever occurring on earth was due to a lot of different factors. So maybe there is life on other planets, but they aren’t placing these monoliths!

      With COVID this year, many people have had a lot more time – so maybe someone’s idea of a cool project?

      The other thing to think about is how long it would take to travel to other planets. The nearest planet in a “goldilocks zone” most suitable to life is 12 light years away, so that would take us about half a million years to reach using the Discovery shuttle. There aren’t many of these goldilocks planets less than 1 million years flight time. There’s a good chance that even if there was alien life capable of space travel, we’d miss each other in time.

      I like to think Aliens could exist but I think it is much more likely that humans made them
