Desert Mystery: New Monolith Appears Near Las Vegas


In the Nevada desert, north of the Las Vegas Valley, a new monolith has surfaced, intriguing locals and law enforcement alike. Spotted by the Las Vegas Police Department during a search and rescue mission, this shiny, rectangular prism mirrors the mystifying monoliths that popped up globally in 2020.

Perched near Gass Peak, this latest installation—whether art, alien, or prank—poses questions rather than answers. Reminiscent of the monoliths from Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey,” it stands silently, reflecting the rugged desert backdrop and the baffled faces of onlookers. Las Vegas Police playfully highlighted the discovery on social media, sparking curiosity and conspiracy theories alike.

The resurgence of these monoliths continues to baffle as no individual or group has claimed responsibility. As the monolith watches over the desert, the local authorities are seizing the moment to remind hikers to gear up against the Nevada heat and stay safe.
