It’s steeling the limelight.
A wierd and gigantic steel monolith was recently spotted on a hill in Wales — one among several mysterious Toblerone-like structures which have popped up across the globe in recent times.
They’ve evoked online conspiracy theories of aliens and aliens.
The most recent futuristic-looking installation, present 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 bizarre sighting.
“I assumed it looked a bit bizarre and may be a scientific media research thing collecting rainwater,” he told Wales Online on Monday.
“But then realized it was way too tall and strange for that. Then I went as much as it and it was about 10-foot-tall not less than and triangular, definitely chrome steel,” Haynes continued. “It was hole and I imagine pretty light. Light enough for 2 people to hold it up and plant it in the bottom.”
Although the Welsh obelisk’s origin is unclear, two similar structures present in Utah and California in 2020 were the works of an artist group based in Latest Mexico called The Most Famous Artist.
After speculation and E.T.-like tall tales swirled, the group owned as much as the art installations.
One other monolith, that perplexingly appeared in Turkey in 2021, was a government stunt launched ahead of an area program announcement.
Others were seen in Romania and Ukraine late in 2020.
Not removed from Wales, one appeared on the Isle of Wight and one other in a famous stone circle called the Merry Maidens in Cornwall, England.
One other one, discovered in Somerset, England, even featured the words “not Banksy,” a reference to the artist of mystery who could also be forced to disclose his identity soon.
