Theories abound over mystery metal monolith found in Utah Read moreBut now, almost as mysteriously as it appeared, it has been removed by what local officials called “an unknown party”. “[We] did not remove the structure which is considered private property,” A Bureau of Land Management spokesperson said in a statement. The bureau added it will “not investigate crimes involving private property” as they are “handled by the local sheriff’s office”. “One of the biologists spotted it, and we just happened to fly directly over the top of it,” Hutchings told local KSL. “He was like, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa, turn around, turn around!’ And I was like, ‘What.’ And he’s like, ‘There’s this thing back there – we’ve got to go look at it!’”Some have compared the art to minimalist sculptors, including the late John McCracken.
