How the massive object got there is still a mystery.
LAS VEGAS — A strange monolith found jutting out of the rocks in a remote mountain range near Las Vegas has been taken down by authorities.“It remains unknown how the item got to its location or who might be responsible,” Las Vegas police said Friday in a series of posts on X announcing the removal of the glimmering, 6-foot-4 prism.
Members of the police department’s search and rescue team found the object near Gass Peak, part of the vast Desert National Wildlife Refuge where bighorn sheep and desert tortoises can be found roaming. The otherworldly structures evoke the object that appears in the Stanley Kubrick movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.” All of them disappeared as quickly as they popped up.
Christa Weise, acting manager of the wildlife refuge, confirmed Friday that the monolith had been removed but said she couldn’t comment on whether federal authorities have opened a criminal investigation.
