In the photos, the tall, geometric figure reflects the rocky desert and perfectly aligns with the horizon.
Ummmmm, that's the photographer that did that. 🙄
Tells you everything you need to know about those "journalists".
...the department wrote alongside photos of the column. In the photos, the tall, geometric figure reflects the rocky desert and perfectly aligns with the horizon.
Not sure how you would prefer that be phrased? Also, if you can reasonably see the horizon aligned with its reflection, that suggests something to the reader about how it's more or less perpendicular to the ground, rather than slanted (cone/pyramid/etc.).
It is like writing about how my children happened to be in my picture next to the grand canyon.
You don't? Or write, "the photographer perfectly aligned the horizon with reflections of the rocky dessert."
rocky dessert
🤦
Sounds delicious
Rocky road …. Take me home …
I think that's covered by, "in the photos."
The photographer did that because the horizon appears at eye level for every viewer.
If the mirrors weren’t perfectly straight up the photographer wouldn’t have been able to do that.
Also it literally says “in the photos” so yeah, what do you expect???
It strongly reads to me like the writer is trying to make something mystical/mysterious out of a completely mundane "feature" of mirrors.
I hope whoever is doing this never lets us know who they are.
It won't be one person. There are copycats in there; some of the creators are known in the Wikipedia article I linked to.

Las Vegas police have nothing better to do?
It says Las Vegas desert so its probably law enforcement that operates in that part of the Mojave. Hell it could be San Bernardino Sheriff Department depending on how far out you consider by vegas to be, and yeah outside of the cities the cops have fuck all to do 90% of the time.
I think wasting their time is the best they an do.
Yo where do I get the instructions to make one of these? I want to join in.
Make Wooden frame.
Glue mirrors to frame.
fwiw, the article describes it as a "vertical slab of metal". Not a very in-depth article, but I wouldn't expect mirrors to be described as that.

I hope nobody tries to touch it in 120° heat...
Surround the thing with solar panels and then you've got yourself an environmentally friendly peice of space debris.

Looks like Auntie Donna is up to something.
Is this a marker from dead space? Oo
Is that a mirrored surface or an actual crystal like in the book?
Someone knows what are those made from?
Probably paid to report on it for attention.
I mean it would be interesting to know if these are made of some kind of weird material or something, you know, maybe alien stuff..
