The crew did not state that whether or not it felt solid or hollow. They did take a look at the top and might have made a decision about whether it was solid. Solid and steel or iron would mean many tons and would cost considerably more to 'plant' in that location. How it is secured into the stone is also interesting. It looks as if the stone was cut and removed for it to fit. That would mean there should have been signs of debris that was removed. Or maybe it is simply glued with a lot of super glue to the stone? Regardless it looked stationary when the one man climbed on the shoulders of the other to look at the top.
It is interesting and I would like to see more information about it because I am sure somebody will study it.

This thing is pretty large. Even if hollow, it would have taken a lot of money to make it, transport it and install it into the ground in the middle of practically nowhere so it was a pretty good effort sponsored by someone with deep pockets. If it's not hollow, the weight and cost of it would be huge at minimum.

Like I said, if solid it could weigh tons. The hole it sits in is difficult to explain. I wish somebody would study how deep that hole goes. Somebody could have taken back a generator and stone saw and maybe cut that cube half a foot or a foot deep? Then they could have drilled a round hole in the middle of the cubical hole and installed a heavy round pipe to stabilize the monolith?
But I don't know. I am speculating and very curious how they pulled this one off? It looks like it might be stainless steel and that would even be more expensive.
I asked the S/O if he is missing some piece of the stainless steel industrial items he makes.....showed him the picture of the monolith...........but he was in a hurry to leave more ships waiting for their consoles........not sure but it looks like brushed stainless steel.......
IMo, it probably has something securing it to the ground, maybe like Fisheye said, a heavy pipe to anchor it?
I wonder if they noticed if there were any seams or was it solid (seamless) all around...if it has seams (panels), Id say it was someones art project or just something they wanted to place there...if it is seamless though, Im not sure what it is.
Military, or other US Gov. is a possibility. I thought they always put up signs warning people not to stay away, but maybe not.
