The structure, estimated at between 10 feet and 12 feet high, was found by state wildlife employees counting sheep from a helicopter. 

Utah’s highway patrol shared a picture of the finding on Instagram, along with the caption: "Counting big horn sheep with DWR this week. During the counts we came across this, in the middle of nowhere, buried deep in the rock. Inquiring minds want to know, what the heck is it? Anyone?"

Bret Hutchings, the helicopter pilot, said it was "about the strangest thing that I’ve come across out there in all my years of flying," according to Salt Lake City's KSL-TV.

Users on social media were quick to speculate what the object was.  

"It’s the on-off button for the planet," one user wrote. 

"I love this. I imagine it’s an art piece, but what if it isn’t..." another replied.
