It stands about 10-to-12-feet tall according to KSL TV and is seemingly made of a matte silver metal.  > A team of biologists and Utah Department of Safety officers in a helicopter noticed the otherworldly structure because of its stark juxtaposition to the surrounding iconic red rock. After landing to go to take a look at the structure, they realized it was almost certainly planted on purpose. According to reports, it’s firmly placed into the ground and sturdy enough to climb on.
