Quite interesting indeed!!

I wonder what exacty they are!!

 

Ive seen them. people say its a camera trick, I dont think so, Ive seen 2 of them. RODS.. Like a butterfly with more narrow wings, longer body.. the best I seen it was just like the one in the video at around 2:45 mark, making a turn , the other zipped by me.. havent seen one since.

 

Normal insects close to camera. Trailer flashbacks orison?

 

nope.. I was thinking it was just that.. Stumbled on a magazine with an article about the rods.. i was sort of stunned like wow, lucky me, come to think of it the other I seen with a friend, this was in the city - where the one i seen alone was in the county 60 miles away.. I thought though after seeing it the second time, it was a new species of dragonfly.. and wasnt much to care investigating any further.. sometimes I dont see a mantis for years, then all the sudden ..

 

yes, i remember seeing that.... very interesting... but really, if you look anywhere for the first time, there's a possability you might find something new, so it's not so unbelievable i don't think....

 

I just dont know about this one. They dont really seem like they belong there.

 

I saw a special on this on animal planet a while back, they're called Rods and are apparently all over the world.

 

Everywhere that camera lenses are used.

 

In cryptozoology, ufology, and outdoor photography, rods (sometimes known as "skyfish" or "solar entities") are elongated artifacts produced by cameras that inadvertently capture several of a flying insect's wingbeats. Videos of rod-shaped objects moving quickly through the air were claimed by some to be alien life forms or small UFOs, but subsequent experiments showed that these rods appear in film because of an optical illusion.

 

On August 8-9 2005, China Central Television (CCTV) aired a two-part documentary about flying rods in China. It reported the events from May to June of the same year at Tonghua Zhenguo Pharmaceutical Company in Tonghua City, Jilin Province, which debunked the flying rods. Surveillance cameras in the facility's compound captured video footage of flying rods identical to those shown in Jose Escamilla's video. Getting no satisfactory answer to the phenomenon, curious scientists at the facility decided that they would try to solve the mystery by attempting to catch these airborne creatures. Huge nets were set up and the same surveillance cameras then captured images of rods flying into the trap. When the nets were inspected, the "rods" were no more than regular moths and other ordinary flying insects. Subsequent investigations proved that the appearance of flying rods on video was an optical illusion created by the slower recording speed of the camera.

 

Dope is right, I remember seeing something on TV about them. Just bugs flying passed the camera

 

I've been to Tonghua for a wedding. Nice city

 

theyre just bugs...im more interested in why no one is freaking out at the spots in the video where the air seems to make water ripples

and where the hell is that weird cave music coming from? :willy_nilly:

 

I hate when I can't fast forward videos... All that epic music and the buildup to see a white thing in the corner of the screen DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN! OH THE HORROR!

 

Thats what they want you too believe. It's actually small nuclear bombs which were sent over from............ never mind this isn't the conspiracy section.
