Other forms of life, including non-hydrocarbon, are used to looking far beyond our solar system.

It would seem even impossible to imagine that, for example, silicon organisms exist on Earth. Silicon on our planet is much more than carbon, but for some reason life in its various forms has generated only the latter.

Moving Stone Detection

However, a strange find was discovered in 1997 by the American volcanologist Howard Sharp. During his expedition to Alaska, he studied the emissions of one of the volcanoes, when suddenly members of his team showed him something amazing.

One of the thrown stones moved slowly along the ground, leaving a trail. The stone could not move under the influence of gravity, because in that place there was a slight rise: it "crawled" upward. From the "body" of the stone, whose length was about a meter, there was barely noticeable steam, and the boulder was warm to the touch.

Sharpe watched the stone for a while. He moved slowly, only a few centimeters per hour, and gradually stopped and cooled. When the stone completely stopped and steam stopped flowing from it, the scientist broke a piece from it. The stone was surprisingly fragile. For clarity, he took with him other stones thrown by the volcano.

However, studies in the laboratory showed nothing special. There were pores and reddish inclusions in the “living” stone, but otherwise it was no different from the rest of the samples.

What makes the stones move?

Experts agree that this was an unexplored physical phenomenon; perhaps something was boiling in the stone and pushing him forward. Serious science refuses to admit (or rather, even assume) that Sharp discovered a certain silicon form of life that can exist only in conditions of molten magma. In this case, the stone stopped, because the conditions on the surface of the planet were unfavorable for his life: he simply "died".

Where are moving stones found?

This, however, is far from the only example of moving stones. Much more famous are the huge moving boulders in the American Death Valley. These "pebbles" have been moving for several hundred years, not stopping for a minute. The speed of their movement, of course, is very low. There is information about moving stones in our country. And off the coast of South America not so long ago discovered a "floating" stone.

What drives all these objects, official science can not yet determine.
