Las Vegas Police officers discover mysterious monolith on peak near city

Las Vegas Police Officers discovered a mysterious monolith while hiking near Gass Peak, North of the city at the weekend.

They wrote on Facebook: "We see a lot of weird things when people go hiking like: not being prepared for the weather, not bringing enough water... but check this out!

"Over the weekend, Las Vegas Metro Search and Rescue spotted this mysterious monolith near Gass Peak north of the valley. HOW did it get up there??"

The officers asked residents for suggestions as to what the monolith could be on social media - but all were at a loss. Some, however, suggested it could be extraterrestrial in origin.
