Just a fake?

Sailing away. The wind thrusts contrary to the ice that is against the rocks, making a normal sail which causes rocks in sliding across the ground. Reviewing the sailing. Scientists positioned their own boulders in Death Valley. These rocks were armed with a GPS device.

Solving now the mystery. The rocks were recorded velocity and movement. Scientists used them in studying the movement of the actual stones in Death Valley in proving their theory. There are many proposed explanations that were proven why rocks move, with the help of the scientists and modern instruments. It is easy to determine the things that are connected in this world.
