Residents of Britain’s Isle of Wight, for example, accidentally discovered the slim, mirrored structure while strolling along the beach on the west side of the island, British media reported Tuesday. Britain’s Alexia Fishwick told the PA news agency that acquaintances took photos of the monolith “really quite magical” for a Photoshop collage.
“I’m not sure if they are aliens, a Coldplay PR stunt or a local mirror dealer wanting to boost his business, but he has drawn us all to the beach,” wrote islander DJ Rob da Bank on Twitter. The British newspaper “The Sun” published a video of the monolith:

A metal pillar also appeared in a natural area in the north of the Netherlands. Walkers discovered them on Sunday morning in the De Kiekenberg nature reserve near Oudehorne in the northern province of Friesland. That same night he had disappeared again. Who put the object there and then took it away is a mystery to residents and authorities. Even the otherwise very sober Frisians did not rule out the possibility that the monolith could be a “sign of aliens,” as viewers told the “Leeuwarder Courant.” The first monolith appeared in Germany on Tuesday: it was discovered in Sulzbach.
Social media is hot
Similar structures had already appeared in the United States and Romania in recent days, and some of them disappeared only a few days later. That started a lot of speculation on social media. Observers suspected artist installations or an homage to the science fiction film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” in which a similar object plays a role.
The artist collective The Most Famous Artist, which had claimed responsibility for the monolith in Utah, reportedly rejected the assumption that it might also have been active on the Isle of Wight.
Monoliths are not only hotly debated on the internet, they have already become memes:
Sulzbach !?
