The mysterious monoliths that surfaced during the Covid-19 pandemic have resurfaced, this time in Nevada desert.
Other versions of the unique 10-foot-tall reflective metal installation were found in places like Utah, California, Wales and Romania in 2020, but can now be seen on Mount Gas, roughly 40 miles north of Las Vegas.
“MYSTERIOUS MONOLITH!” Las Vegas Police said to X. “We see a lot of weird things when people go hiking, like not being prepared for the weather, not carrying enough water…but look at this! Over the weekend @LVMPDSAR spotted this mysterious monolith near Mount Gass north of the valley.’
The origin of the earlier monoliths was never revealed, prompting conspiracy theories involving aliens or that the appearance of the structures was an elaborate, well-coordinated prank.
The first monolith was discovered by accident in 2020 when wildlife officials were counting bighorn sheep from a helicopter in a desert near Moab, Utah. Shortly after it was discovered, this monolith mysteriously disappeared.
“We have received credible reports that an illegally installed structure referred to as a ‘monolith’ has been removed from Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands by an unknown party,” the Utah Bureau of Land Management said at the time. “The BLM did not remove the structure, which is considered private property. We do not investigate crimes involving private property that are handled by the local sheriff.
Since then, many monoliths have appeared and disappeared in other states and countries without any explanation. Others were vandalized and destroyed by private citizens.
The discovery of the Nevada monolith in June marks the first known reappearance of the structure since 2020.
