"Almost looks like a UFO just put it on the ground," said Craig Muir.A mysterious, roughly 10-foot-tall silver metal monolith was discovered on a muddy bluff in Wales by hiker Craig Muir.on a muddy bluff in Wales has reignited wild speculation on its origin after similar obelisks appeared in Utah, California, England and Romania.
He said that when he first discovered the object atop the roadless 2,221-foot Hay Bluff, he found no tire tracks or footprints around it that could explain a human connection. Muir described the statue as appearing to be made of steel, roughly 10-foot-tall by a foot-and-a-half wide, and hollow inside. He also noted it appears quite hefty, adding to the riddle of how it got there.
"We recognize the incredible interest the ‘monolith’ has generated worldwide. Many people have been enjoying the mystery and view it as a welcome distraction from the 2020 news cycle," the Bureau of Land Management said in a Nov. 29, 2020, statement. "Even so, it was installed without authorization on public lands and the site is in a remote area without services for the large number of people who now want to see it.
