That Mysterious Monolith in the Utah Desert? It’s Gone, Officials Say - The New York Times

The metal structure has been removed, Utah officials said on Saturday, adding that they had not taken it down.

As mysteriously as it arrived, a metal monolith that was discovered last week by Utah public safety workers is now gone, officials said on Saturday.

The three-sided metal structure was removed on Friday evening “by an unknown party” from the public land it was found on, the federal Bureau of Land Management’s Utah office said in a statement.

The Utah Department of Public Safety said on Monday that it had found the object while surveying for bighorn sheep.

Nick Street, a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, said the monolith had been embedded into the rock.
