Monolith Finds New Home On Fremont Street In Downtown Las Vegas

One of the mysterious monoliths that are popping up around the world found its way to Las Vegas' Fremont Street.

The 10-foot-tall shiny metal triangle was first spotted outside of Circa on Friday. Just like the other monoliths that have been found, no one knows how it got there.

The first monolith was found near Moab, Utah, by a Utah Department of Public Safety helicopter pilot counting big horn sheep in November. Satellite images suggest the object first appeared in Utah before 2016 without any attention until recently.

A Utah slackliner said he took down the structure to stop people from visiting the rural area and harming the surrounding environment.

That hasn't stopped the monolith madness, however. The objects have appeared in Romania, California, Pittsburgh, and England.

It's unlikely that all of the metal objects were made or placed by the same group of people. The Pittsburgh monolith was created by the owner of Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop, who placed the object outside the store to draw attention to their small business, according to the store's Facebook page.

Four artists have taken credit for the one placed on Pine Mountain in Atascadero, California, the New York Times reported.

As of Monday, the Vegas monolith still stands, and no one has claimed credit for it yet.
