'Is Land' was a £9,000 helium-filled sculpture of a desert island which floated above the heads of revellers at the Secret Garden Party festival recently.

However, the art project drifted off somewhere without anyone seeing it and may now be floating in the troposphere, the lowest portion of Earth's atmosphere.

Sarah Cockings and Laurence Symonds, Royal College of Art graduates, who created the seven-metre wide airborne islet have asked that any sightings be reported via the website is-land.co.uk.

'Is Land' is made of durable polyurethane with foliage décor and was built over six months.

It was last seen at approximately 3am on Sunday 24 July hanging over a lake at the Cambridgeshire festival by security guards who witnessed two unidentified youths in a dinghy cutting all five of its tether ropes, releasing the island into the sky.
