Mystery 10ft monolith appears out of nowhere in Welsh countryside

A mystery steel monolith appeared out of nowhere on a hill in Hay-on-Wye, Wales, baffling locals.

Footage taken by Craig Muir shows the strange structure shaped like a toblerone standing straight up in the muddy ground.

It follows similar sightings of monoliths across the globe - such as when a structure in the remote Utah desert appeared and disappeared in 2020.

“[It was light enough for two people to carrity it up and plant it in the ground,” he said.
