‘Mysterious’ monolith appears in Las Vegas desert, baffling locals: ‘We see a lot of weird things’

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.

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.

Question is will the local apes touch it and turn into human beings?

[Peter-Du]

At Least they are not spray painting rocks.

[cartoonraccoon]

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.

This one is a lot more interesting than the other's we have seen. I love the reflective surface. It makes it nearly invisible.

[franklinj]

Havent you seen 2001 A Space Oddesy? Or the Album Presence Sheets happening

That could only have been left by aliens. Today's civilization doesn't have the technology needed to lift something that big.

_“Cannot swords be turned to plowshares? Can we and all nations not live in peace? In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity, ”_ Ronald Reagan said.

_“Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond."_

_“I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?”_

I think Amazon delivered to the wrong address.

Aliens could invade today and honestly I wouldn't blink with an ounce of interest.

The obvious question no one is asking is what is it made out of?
