Arabia Weather - There is a famous saying that says, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” but this does not apply to what happened over the past week, as social media was abuzz with the appearance of a monolith or a mysterious UFO in the desert north of the city. In this context, the Las Vegas Police Department posted on its social media account:<blockquote style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> “We see a lot of weird things when people go hiking, like not preparing for the weather, not bringing enough water...but check this out! Over the weekend, Las Vegas Metro Search and Rescue spotted this mysterious mass near Gas Peak North Valley. How did you get there?</blockquote> See also: <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A3%D8%AC%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%85-... black objects in Saudi Arabia appear to have fallen from the sky</a><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> MYSTERIOUS MONOLITH!

The first column appeared in downtown Las Vegas near the Golden Nugget restaurant. This shiny column on Fremont Street was one of many columns that appeared around the world in 2020. They were all hollow and made of metal panels ranging from 9 to 12 feet in length. . The mysterious panels gained fame on November 18, 2020, when a group of biologists from the Utah Department of Wildlife Resources spotted the structure while flying over the desert miles from Moab and near Canyonlands National Park, according to the Utah Department of Public Safety. Days later, this structure was mysteriously removed and the next day, another block appeared in Atascadero, California, but was destroyed by activists the next day. Then an artwork appeared in downtown Las Vegas, and another in Joshua Tree National Park in California. <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/%D8%A3%D8%B4%D9%83%D8%A7%D9%84%20%D9%88%D9%87%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%83%D9%84%20%D8%BA%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A8%D8%A9%20%D8%AA%D8%B8%D9%87%D8%B1%20%D9%88%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%AA%D9%81%D9%8A%20%D9%81%D8%AC%D8%A3%D8%A9%20%D9%81%D9%8A%20%D8%A3%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%83%D9%86%20%D8%B9%D8%AF%D8%A9%20%D9%85%D9%86%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85..%20%D9%85%D8%A7%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%B5%D8%A9%D8%9F.jpg" style="width: 663px; height: 600px;" /><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Why and why does this remain a mystery?</h2> In 2020 alone, he counted nine similar monoliths that appeared to be from the same person or group and eight of them were questionable, four were “confirmed fakes,” and two more were considered fakes, but were not confirmed. The monoliths vary slightly in size and shape. The one that appeared in Span was more like a rectangle. There was one golden UFO in Colombia. Four artists claimed to have designed a second, "stronger" monolith that replaced the initial Atascadero statue, and still stands today. Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop admitted to building the pole in front of their store in Pittsburgh as a gimmick and comedic relief during the pandemic and they posted this online after the first pole was stolen, and they had to build another. Another group of artists have also claimed to be the creators of the original Utah pole and Joshua Tree art, but this has not been confirmed. The structure on England's Isle of Wight had a sloping top, was not shiny, and was "high quality and well dug into the ground," according to the Tracking the Monoliths website. A man told a FOX 5 Atlanta reporter that he knows who placed the monolith in Newnan, Georgia, in December 2020, but did not reveal his name. Blocks have also appeared in Canada, New Mexico, the Netherlands, Belgium, Colorado, Germany, Texas, Poland and Russia. <h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></h2><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/%D8%A3%D8%B4%D9%83%D8%A7%D9%84%20%D9%88%D9%87%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%83%D9%84%20%D8%BA%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A8%D8%A9%20%D8%AA%D8%B8%D9%87%D8%B1%20%D9%88%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%AA%D9%81%D9%8A%20%D9%81%D8%AC%D8%A3%D8%A9%20%D9%81%D9%8A%20%D8%A3%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%83%D9%86%20%D8%B9%D8%AF%D8%A9%20%D9%85%D9%86%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85..%20%D9%85%D8%A7%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%B5%D8%A9%D8%9F.png" style="width: 800px; height: 452px;" /><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Spaceflight 2001</h2> If this sounds familiar, you may be a science fiction fan and may have seen it in the book and movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, where aliens placed similar-looking black masses across the solar system and, according to the National Air and Space Museum, Arthur C. Clark's futuristic space travel experience with the real thing.
