Monolith appears at Hightown dunes

A bizarre metal column has appeared embedded in the dunes on Hightown Beach seemingly overnight.

The huge structure was brought to the attention of the public via the Hightown Village Twitter account.

They said: “A mysterious object has arrived in our dunes over night.

“A much needed light distraction in these times.”

OVer 170 monoliths have appeared around the world since November, when biologists discovered a monolith in the middle of the Utah desert.

The origin of both the Hightown monolith, and the worldwide movement, are unknown.

Already the structure is attracting increasing interest with a number of people visiting the bizarre monolith this morning.
