[it] disappeared
I agree with Paula it how she handled the "it." However, I wouldn't turn it into a compound verb unless there is one in the original.

I was about to agree with María Leonor, when I realized that this is how we refer to either objects or persons that "estão sumidos".

[it] has disappeared
if you want to stay faithful to the original, you must say "has" (not "is")

: I agree with how you handled the [it] in brackets, but my suspicion is that the original did not have a compound verb.

My suggestion, keeping the "has".
