Mystery Of The Reflective Monolith In Las Vegas: Police Removal Unveils Bizarre Global Phenomenon

By -

 The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department announced in a series of tweets Friday it removed a mysterious monolith from a mountain range north of the city, marking the latest monolith to pop up in the U.S. and raise further questions about who or what is behind the appearances.


Las Vegas police said it helped with the removal of the monolith Thursday afternoon, citing public safety and environmental concerns as the structure was found near Gass Peak—a mountain peak about 20 miles north of Las Vegas that is part of Nevada’s Desert National Wildlife Refuge.

Police photos of the three-sided, 6-foot-4 mirrored object show it was placed into the ground using rebar and concrete, with authorities noting the monolith was made out of reflective sheet metal folded into a triangle.

The monolith has been transported to an undisclosed location as authorities figure out how to properly dispose of it, LVMPD tweeted, adding there is no investigation into the monolith or how it appeared near Gass Peak.

The Las Vegas monolith’s dimensions are smaller than a monolith that was spotted in Wales more than three months ago, as that structure measured 10 feet tall.

It is possible the monolith has been in the mountain range for years, as Monolith Tracker, an unofficial website allowing users to report the strange structures, says the Las Vegas object was first spotted in December 2020.

The tracking website links to a 2020 YouTube video showing aerial views of what appears to be the same monolith confiscated by police Thursday.

245. That’s how many monoliths the tracking site has identified since 2020, though it is unclear how many of those objects have been verified by law enforcement.


The Las Vegas monolith is one object in a long line of strange, mirrored structures that began appearing around the world since 2020. The first notable monolith that captured viral attention was first spotted in Utah in November 2020. That object was nearly 10 feet tall and was dismantled just 10 days after it was spotted. One of the most recent monolith sightings this year came in March, when Welsh builder Craig Muir discovered a monolith while on a hike. The monolith was located on a muddy hill inaccessible to cars, which provoked Muir to believe the object was placed by people or a helicopter. Online speculation has theorized that aliens, pranksters or artists are behind the objects. The Most Famous Artist, a conceptual art group, has taken credit for monoliths that appeared in the U.K., Romania and Utah, though followers of the monolith phenomena believe the group is capitalizing off the interest around monolith appearances. The collective once sold $45,000 “authentic” alien monoliths on its website.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league."

"Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file
