trails etched behind them as if they have traveled across the sand. “Some trails are only a
few feet. Some trails are over a half a mile long. Each trail is as baffling as the next.

as they move forward. Some take unexplainable routes. 10Large ones have traveled past
small ones that have stayed still. 11Some scientists suggest that the rocks are pushed by
wind. 12Others believe they slide on small amounts of ice or mud. 13So far, research has not
confirmed any theory.
