Mysterious steel monolith appears in Wales, baffling locals

[LAUREN TAYLOR]

IT’S A BAFFLING STORY OUT OF WALES…

A MYSTERIOUS STEEL MONOLITH HAS APPEARED SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOWHERE – LEAVING LOCALS SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS. 

THE TOWERING STRUCTURE, NEARLY THE SIZE OF A SEMI-TRUCK, WAS DISCOVERED BY A WITNESS WHO STUMBLED UPON IT WHILE OUT FOR A RUN – ON A HILL IN HAY-ON-WYE – AND DESCRIBED IT AS “BIZARRE” AND “DEFINITELY STAINLESS STEEL.”

ANOTHER WITNESS SAID HE INITIALLY MISTOOK IT FOR A UFO – SUGGESTING IT MIGHT BE AN ART INSTALLATION OR EVEN OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL ORIGIN – DESCRIBING IT AS BEING MADE OF SURGICAL STEEL WITH IMPECCABLE CRAFTSMANSHIP – HIGHLIGHTING THE INTRIGUE SURROUNDING ITS SUDDEN APPEARANCE.

THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME SUCH A MONOLITH HAS MYSTIFIED THE WORLD. SIMILAR STRUCTURES EMERGED IN THE U.K. AND GLOBALLY IN 2020, DRAWING COMPARISONS TO THE ICONIC MONOLITH FROM THE 1968 MOVIE: “2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY.” 

AS SPECULATION SWIRLS, THE ORIGIN AND PURPOSE OF THIS LATEST MYSTERIOUS ADDITION TO WALES REMAINS UNKNOWN. IT IS CURRENTLY SITUATED WITHIN BRECON BEACONS NATIONAL PARK WHERE UNAUTHORIZED INSTALLATIONS COULD BE TAKEN DOWN IF they don’t HAVE PERMISSION TO BE THERE.
