DENVER (KDVR) — People across the Front Range and beyond have been searching for answers after a mysterious monolith of unknown origins popped up without warning in northern Colorado.

A Reddit user posted in the Fort Collins subreddit saying they went to the structure. According to the user, people nearby claimed the structure was put upto mess with someone who lives in the area. This has not been confirmed.

Lori Graves, the owner of the Howling Cow Cafe nearthe monument, said people have been coming into the shop asking about it.

“It was Sunday morning,” she said, “when someone came into the cafe and said, ‘Where is the monolith? Where is the alien monolith?'”

Graves also owns the land that the monolith is on, but doesn’t know who or what might be behind it.

“l have ideas, but I almost don’t want to ruin the mystery around it,” she said. “I’m not going to ask people.”

This is not the first time a mysterious and 

mirrored monolith has popped up unexpectedly 

this month.

A somewhat similar structure was found north of the

Las Vegas Valley over the weekend of June 15 and 16, 

according to KDVR’s Nexstar partner station in Las 

Vegas. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department

took it down on June 21.

No confirmed connections have been made between 

the monolith in northern Colorado and the one near 

Las Vegas.

A similar phenomenon happened in late 2020 when 

several monoliths were found across the world after 

one appeared at random in a rural part of Utah.
