A mysterious monolith that was discovered in the Utah desert, leaving onlookers baffled, has disappeared. The object was originally spotted on November 18 by state officials who were helping to count sheep from a helicopter. There have been a few theories as to what it could mean, but none of them has been confirmed.

The structure believed to be man-made, was approximately 12ft tall, planted deep in the ground and made of a shiny metal, setting it off from the red rock around it. But just as mysteriously as it was found, it has now disappeared. Officials have said its removal had nothing to do with them and could instead be down to an "unknown party".
