Las Vegas police discovered a mysterious monolith in the Nevada desert, igniting speculation among internet users in the United States about its origin. This rectangular, mirror-covered structure was found this weekend in a popular hiking area, about an hour north of Las Vegas. The police posted on social media on Monday saying, "We see a lot of strange things, but look at this!"
This peculiar installation resembles a number of other monoliths that have appeared mysteriously from time to time since 2020 around the world. A mysterious monolith found in the Utah desert captured significant media attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, and similar structures soon appeared in the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Canada, and the UK. Websites have been created to track these enigmatic objects. The Nevada monolith, like its predecessors, has sparked all kinds of analyses and theories. Some American social media users speculate that it might be an offering to aliens, while others suggest it could be a treasure box, and a third group sees it as nothing more than a prank.
