"Thought of UFO"

A few years ago, huge, mystical monoliths that appeared seemingly out of nowhere in many remote places around the world caused quite a stir. Now one such metal monster has been discovered in a wasteland in Wales in the UK.

"When I first saw it, I was a bit taken aback because it looked like some kind of UFO," explained Craig Muir, who spotted the structure on a hill near the village of Hay-on-Wye. He told PA Media: "It appeared to be a very fine metallic material, almost like surgical steel. The steel structure was about three meters long and looked perfectly level and stable despite the windy weather."

The discovery site is remote - according to Muir, there is no way to get to the hill by vehicle. The discoverer therefore believes that the monolith was either carried there or flown up by helicopter. "It didn't look like it had just been thrown there," the Welshman continued. "But there were no obvious tracks around it and you would think something like that would cause a lot of chaos," he told the BBC.

So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the action - but it looks very similar to the monoliths that appeared in various countries in 2020. It started with columns in the US states of Utah and California, and later such metal blocks were also discovered in Europe. The anonymous artist collective "The Most Famous Artist" claimed authorship at the time, but an Australian comedy trio also claimed to have placed the monoliths. They allegedly wanted to use them to promote a Netflix series.
