Builder stunned to see 'UFO monolith' on top of hill but there's an explanation
A stunned builder has explained how he was left floored when he spotted what he assumed was “some sort of a UFO” at the summit of a hill.
Craig Muir came across the alien structure but it turned out to be a shiny, silver monolith – a large single upright block of stone – during his regular hike up Hay Bluff, in Powys, Wales. He says was was left lost for words when he first saw it, and automaticall assumed it was
“When I first saw it, I was a bit taken aback as it looked like some sort of a UFO,” Mr Muir, who lives in Hay-on-Wye, said. “It seemed like a very fine metallic almost like a surgical steel. The steel structure was almost 10 feet long and looked perfectly levelled and steady, despite the weather being windy.”
Since there is no way to drive up to the top of the hill, Mr Muir suggested it could have been taken by a group of people or dropped off by the helicopter on its spot. “It didn’t seem like it was chucked in there, instead it has been accurately put in the ground,” he said. “However, there were no obvious tracks around it and one would think that there would be a lot of mess around it, but there wasn’t," he told the PA news agency.
This is not the first sighting of the mystery monolith as it was previously seen across the UK and Europe in recent years. Social media users including TikTokers and Instagrammers have previously captured the giant structure in the Isle of Wight, the Merry Maidens stone circle in Cornwall and a few isolated parts of Europe.

But there was a simple explanation - a monolith (Media Wales)Last summer, a UFO hunter has claimed aliens butchered a number of sheep in Wales. Helena Worth, a self-described “amateur scientist”, became obsessed with aliens after she claimed to have spotted one flying over her home several years ago. The 41-year-old who works for Ceredigion County Council has now claimed that extra-terrestrial life is responsible for recent mutilations of sheep close to her home.
The cause of the sheep deaths in the Cambrian mountains, which often sees multiple carcasses spread miles apart, has previously been attributed to big cats. But Helena claims that UFOs are a more likely explanation. She said: "With cattle and sheep mutilations it’s always very precise cut marks or something an animal couldn’t do.
“And there often aren’t any footprints up to the animal, so there is no evidence humans are responsible so maybe it could have come from above.” For years, farmers in and around the Cambrian Mountains have feared a large cat is responsible for the brutal killings of livestock Cambrian News reported.
Rumours of a large feline lurking in the Ceredigion area emerged as far back as the 1970s when a series of sheep were found eaten. There have been numerous cases since including the killing of 12 sheep in 1981 in the village of 'Bont' - giving name to the Beast of Bont - and the slaughter of 20 in 2012.
