A mysterious metallic monolith discovered deep in a Utah desert has suddenly vanished just days after it was first spotted by biologists from the air .

The 12-foot-tall structure apparently disappeared Friday night, according to credible reports , the Utah Bureau of Land Management said in a statement.

The illegally installed structure was removed by an unknown party, and not by department personnel, according to the BLM. There will be no investigation into its disappearance by the BLM because the monolith is private property and not part of the public lands, the statement added.
