Discovery follows spate of monoliths around the world in 2020, which conspiracy theorists speculated could have been the work of aliens

When Craig Muir spotted an object while hiking the summit of a hill, he thought he was having a close encounter of the third kind. However, while not a UFO, the shiny, silver monolith in a muddy patch of Powys uplands was strikingly mysterious.

Following a spate of monoliths appearing around the world in 2020 – in the Isle of Wight, Romania and the Utah desert – conspiracy theorists speculated that aliens could be behind the structures. No one has yet come forward to claim responsibility for the Welsh monolith, which bears a resemblance to the one that features in Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
