Yes, I have heard of this, and find it fascinating.
Phobos means "fear" in Greek, and it certainly is an odd moon. Not only this monolith, but years ago a Russian probe, also named "Phobos", photographed an anomaly in orbit around Phobos (the moon) that looked a lot like a mile-long cigar shaped Mother Ship. Oddly, perhaps, immediately after photographing that anomaly and sending the photo back to Earth, the Russian Phobos mission went utterly and completely dead, never to be heard from or seen again.
Phobos bears investigation, but that investigation could be a pretty dangerous mission. The place to start would be this monolith, I believe. We really need to know why there is a tall, skinny rock sticking straight up out of the surface of a tiny, misshapen moon... and make no mistake, it IS sticking straight up out of the surface. The shadow it throws clearly shows that, especially when compared with the shadows in the craters around it.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
