The hunt is on after mystery monolith reappears near Las Vegas

A shiny mystery seems to have reappeared after Las Vegas Metro Police posted a picture on social media saying they found a mysterious monolith near Gass Peak over the weekend.

I wake up to a monolith every morning then it disappears

It could be foldable and hollow. Depending on the design and materials, it might weigh little enough for one or two people to carry, hidden in backpacks.

I think they are probably something used in the petroleum industry for oil or natural gas testing. The first three were all in petroleum rich basins, the paradox basin in utah, the basin in Romania in the Carpathian mountains, and the paradox basin again in Colorado (the basin is where the two states border each other). They are made from metal which would deflect the suns light and heat from whatever is inside.

Monolith A large block of stone, especially one used in architecture or sculpture. Something, such as a column or monument, made from one large block of stone. Something suggestive of a large block of stone, as in immovability, massiveness, or uniformity.

Monolith means huge stone structure. Wrong word but cool thing.
