Another monolith discovered in Texas has joined the growing list of metal structures that have been found around the world.

The metal monolith was found in a car park near a food and shopping complex on the west side in El Paso’s Upper Valley.

Shortly after it appeared, a group of people were filmed removing the monolith and taking it away in a truck.

People flocked to the site of the monolith in El Paso and speculation grew online as to who could have erected the structure.

Footage shows the monolith emitting a hollow sound when struck, suggesting that it is light in weight.

One social media user said it was “not sturdy at all” and could be knocked over “very easily”.

The first metal edifice was found planted in the ground in a remote part of Utah at the end of November.

It disappeared just days later, and two other shining metal towers later appeared in Romania and Southern California, with others turning up in other countries including Spain, Germany and Colombia.

An anonymous collective called The Most Famous Artist has taken credit for the monoliths in Utah and California.

Meanwhile a designer has claimed responsibility for a monolith that was discovered on the Isle of Wight.

Tom Dunford, 29, from Fishbourne told the BBC he created the structure “purely for fun”.

He said: “If the aliens were to come down I think they’d go for the safest place which is the Isle of Wight in Tier 1 (Covid restrictions).

“When I saw the first one pop up (in Utah) I thought it was brilliant, the second one popped up and I had a text from a friend which said ‘You’re the man that can do this on the island’.”
