(CNN) — A new metal monolith appeared in a California park just days after another mysterious monument disappeared from a remote spot in the Utah desert.

The silver pillar was reported Wednesday afternoon at the summit of Pine Mountain Loop at Stadium Park in Atascadero, which is nearly halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco

"We don't know how it got there and apparently its already disappeared," Deputy City Manger Terrie Banish told CNN. The Atascadero News reported that a group of men removed it early Thursday.

Banish said the city doesn't plan to investigate the monument, or its disappearance, but they will remove the rebar, or reinforcing rod, that was used to secure it to the ground because they don't want anyone to get hurt.

1. I, for one, welcome our monolith overlords....

I’ve been warning people, you keep messing with those things and Ben is going to turn that damned wheel again.

2. I suspect the engineering students at Cal Poly, who fabricated it with purloined material....

are selling in on eBay; the short sojourn up on Pine Mountain increased its value.

4. I'm expecting we'll soon start seeing them sold on Amazon in kit form...

...so you can have your own "appear" in your front lawn.

Frankly, if they had one now, I'd probably order it today, so I could decorate it with Christmas lights for the season.
