Death Valley Sailing Stones and Natural Explanations
The discussion turns to the sailing stones of Death Valley, which are massive rocks weighing up to 180 pounds that appear to move across the desert floor. While theories suggest that heavy rain creates a slick surface allowing high winds to push the stones, no one has ever captured the movement on camera. Scientists remain puzzled by how the stones overcome initial friction to start moving, even with the presence of water and wind.
