Captured on video for the first time: the mysterious forces that move rocks across the surface of Racetrack Playa in California's Death Valley.

Nobody has ever seen these rocks move, but they leave trails across the dried mud surface often hundreds of yards long. But on this cold winter morning, when the snowmelt covered the playa, we finally saw what nobody before had ever captured on film.

    The trails left by 720 pound boulders indicated they didn't move on a sheet of ice. Science can explan anything, just like religion and myth can explain anything. Maybe it was gremlins??? Huh,

    we actually know why they moved (yes, moved, not move), but keep it a secret to bedazzle the stupid and hopefully attract tourism and make business!
