Utah Monolith just looks like a scene out of The Invaders

ok the monolith is obviously straight out of '2001' but the first thing i thought of when saw the vid was 'Invaders' - the orange rocky setting just looks like from the show, the way the guys are dressed in green 'Invaders' uniforms, even the strange way they are walking around it and the monolith itself is silver more like Invaders tech than the black 2001 monolith.. its like David Vincent is hiding watching them below with binoculars. a S&W .38, and a soon to be destroyed camera (it works better if you put the video on mute and play some Invaders score https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_MjWlqIIi8)

You're right! Those dudes in the khaki overalls did look as odd as the actual monolith.

The theme music for this series is still seriously good. The deep brass(?) two-note progression is simple but evokes a sense of dread. It creeped me out as a kid. I loved that series.

It was a nice touch to see Roy Thinnes pop up in The X-Files as an alien shape-shifter.
