We should not believe whatever appears on the youtube!

We have hoax-slayer to find out the truth!!

Here it is:



''Detailed Analysis

This image, which supposedly depicts a miraculous floating rock found in a village in Saudi Arabia, has been circulating via

email, blogs and online forums for several years. According to the message, the rock began floating back in April 1989 after a

terrorist who was hiding behind the rock was shot dead. The message claims that every April since, the rock has again floated

above the ground for around 30 minutes and that apparent blood stains on the rocks surface become "darker, fresher and wet"

during the annual flotation.


However, this so called "surprising rock" is not actually very surprising at all. The "astounding" floating rock is in fact the result

of some fairly rudimentary digital manipulation rather than any sort of miracle or supernatural event.


In real life, the large rock featured in the altered picture is held up by several natural rock supports, the result of the natural

process of erosion. The rock perches atop these supports, rather than sitting flush to the ground. Thus, to make it appear that

the rock is floating, all the canny prankster needed to do was remove the stone supports from the photograph, a relatively

simple procedure when using an image editing program such as Adobe Photoshop. According to an
article about the fake

picture
on the alhabib website, the original rock can be found in the Al Ahsa (or Al Hasa) area in Saudi Arabia, a region noted

for its
eroded and strangely shaped rock outcrops.

Other shots of the same rock taken from different angles, clearly show how the rock is really held up. Although, at first glance,

the rock in the photograph below may look a little different than the "floating" rock above because it is taken from a different

angle, a closer examination reveals that it is one and the same. The rougher textured cleft area is clearly the same in both

images, as is the round stain or indentation at the base of the cleft along with the supposed "blood stain"on the rock surface.''
