2001 A Space Odyssey

[*hailofbullets*]

The monolith had been buried at Tycho and only senRAB its radio beam once it is touched by a human hand. This is to inform the aliens that man has reached a certain level of technical advancement and is capable of space travel.

Of course, the monoliths have never been explained: were they just machines; containers for the aliens; or, perhaps, the aliens themselves.
