(KSAT) – First, a mysterious monolith figure was spotted in Utah, then Romania, then California, and now, San Antonio? Social media images show the Alamo City’s version of the odd figure located on the North Side, tucked on a street in the back of the San Antonio International Airport.
It is situated outside Canopener Labs, a business located in the 1200 block of Safari. The silver monolith first appeared on Thursday night, and by Friday morning, news crews had flocked to the site, according to employees with Canopener Labs. It is made of wood but spraypainted silver to look similar to the metal objects seen elsewhere that have taken social media by storm.
Amid a chaotic and otherwise depressing year, the towering figures have offered a literal bright spot in a sea of gloomy headlines. To get in on the rage, the San Antonio Spurs and the San Antonio Zoo also created their own (fake) sightings of the 3-sided, 10-foot-tall figures. On Tuesday, the Silver and Black posted an image of the Spurs coyote and a Photoshopped figure on the court. Animals at the zoo got in on the fun on Friday when the zoo posted an image with hippos near the towering figure. READ MORE
