10-foot mysterious metal monolith appears on remote hill, baffling locals

Mar 14, 2024
A strange and gigantic steel monolith was recently spotted on a hill in Wales — one of several mysterious Toblerone-like structures that have popped up around the globe in recent years.

They have evoked online conspiracy theories of aliens and extraterrestrial beings.

The latest futuristic-looking installation, found in Wales’ Hay-on-Wye region, was noticed over the weekend by area runner Richard Haynes. He didn’t quite know what to make of the unusual sighting.

“I thought it looked a bit bizarre and might be a scientific media research thing collecting rainwater,” he told Wales Online on Monday.
