'Mysterious' monolith similar to column seen in 2020 appears in Las Vegas desert: Police
In December 2020, a similar monolith appeared in Downton Las Vegas, standing under the Fremont Street Experience canopy.
In the photos, the tall, geometric figure reflects the rocky desert and perfectly aligns with the horizon.
Ummmmm, that's the photographer that did that. 🙄

Not sure how you would prefer that be phrased? Also, if you can reasonably see the horizon aligned with its reflection, that suggests something to the reader about how it's more or less perpendicular to the ground, rather than slanted (cone/pyramid/etc.).

I think that's covered by, "in the photos."
16 2 ReplyThe photographer did that because the horizon appears at eye level for every viewer.
6 1 ReplyIf the mirrors weren’t perfectly straight up the photographer wouldn’t have been able to do that.
Also it literally says “in the photos” so yeah, what do you expect???
6 5 ReplyIt strongly reads to me like the writer is trying to make something mystical/mysterious out of a completely mundane "feature" of mirrors.

22 1 ReplyIt says Las Vegas desert so its probably law enforcement that operates in that part of the Mojave. Hell it could be San Bernardino Sheriff Department depending on how far out you consider by vegas to be, and yeah outside of the cities the cops have fuck all to do 90% of the time.

Glue mirrors to frame.
17 0 Replyfwiw, the article describes it as a "vertical slab of metal". Not a very in-depth article, but I wouldn't expect mirrors to be described as that.
