A “mysterious monolith” has appeared in a desert north of Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says the shiny, reflective structure – similar to one found in Utah years ago – was spotted by its search and rescue unit near Gass Peak over the weekend.

“We see a lot of weird things when people go hiking like not being prepared for the weather, not bringing enough water… but check this out!” police wrote on X alongside an image of the monolith.

The discovery comes months after a hiker in Wales captured a video of a mysterious “UFO”-like monolith on top of a hillside along the country’s border with England.

  • @60gregma
    Too many people with too much time on their hands.
  • This has been going for years now, it's some artist who wants people to notice them.

    Did you try knocking on the front door to see if anybody was home
  • @ouknow1446
    Question is will the local apes touch it and turn into human beings?
  • @Peter-Du
    At Least they are not spray painting rocks.
  • Here we go again with the weird art dudes trying. Every couple of years. They need to try something new.

    It's a lost culture, indeed, when a news story like this is not put to the music from "2001: A Space Odyssey." EDIT: And, if it had been, most people wouldn't get it anyway.
  • Again with this? Come on folks... At least PRETEND to be a new organization.
  • @NoName-rl3fh
    Here to point out the georgia monument that got destroyed a while back and whatever was under it taken and how no one even questioned that...
  • This one is a lot more interesting than the other's we have seen. I love the reflective surface. It makes it nearly invisible.

    I look forward to someone reporting on this. Lets talk about the information provided for a minute. 1. It's shiny. 2. It's north of Vegas near "Gass Peak". 3. It's in a desert. 4. It was found by Vegas police over the weekend. Stellar reporting. It's as if they want us to know all about it.
