In the dry lakebed of Racetrack, Death Valley stones as big as 700 pounds mysteriously slide across the surface of the earth without any notable external forces acting upon them. While some researchers believe a combination of natural events, such as wind and ice, cause these stones to “sail”, others question this theory pointing out that the stones don’t follow a predictable path and change directions abruptly.
It’s not just a stone…. IT’S A ROCK. A great, big, beautiful rock!
well that’s weird
I’m pretty sure this was explained a little while ago. I remember reading something about it. Wind and other type things, and the changing directions was a part of how the sand/salt had dried and cracked. I dont have a link though, so don’t quote me on that.
