According to the New York Post, the 10-foot-tall steel block, shaped like a big Toblerone, was discovered by locals on Hay Bluff near the Powys town over the weekend.

''I thought it looked a little strange and might be a scientific media research thing collecting rainwater," Richard Haynes told reporters.

"But then I realized it was far too tall and unusual for that. Then I approached it, and it was at least 10-feet tall, triangular, and clearly stainless steel. It was hollow and, I assume, fairly light. "It's light enough for two people to carry up and plant it," Haynes remarked.

Which theories have people come up with after the images went viral?

The images of the monolith that have gone viral have sparked various conspiracy theories online. While some said it was the work of aliens, others believed it was a complex piece of hidden artwork.

Prior to this remarkable occurrence, a spate of monoliths surfaced around the world, sparking great public interest and discussion. Theories regarding their origins ranged from a marketing ploy to extraterrestrial life.

When has it happened before?

According to the New York Times, a mysterious 10-foot-tall metal slab arrived in northeastern Turkey in February 2021 before silently disappearing.

It was engraved with a cryptic inscription in the Gokturk alphabet, an ancient Turkic language: ''Look at the sky, see the moon.''

It was eventually revealed to be a government publicity hoax promoting Turkey's new space program.
