Rods/Sky Fish Explained

[güttsfükk]

Rods, sometimes known as Sky Fish or Solar Entities or "Fulgure" in French, are a rather new entry in the field of cryptozoology. They are said to be creatures which flit about in the air at such a high speed as so not be seen by the naked eye. However, rods appear to be observational artifacts produced by rapidly flying animals. Practically all sightings of rods are based on video evidence, due to the propensity of video cameras to produce characteristic stroboscopic artifacts when imaging rapidly flying animals, especially insects, but also including birds. Their recent popularity seems to be a result of media exposure in television and in tabloids.

This is a clip taken from the history channel tv show called Monster Quest

Knowing that Rods/Sky Fish don't really exist makes these videos on how to catch them from 2 years back even better to watch.

such bad acting on the american bit

Capturing rods

On August 8-9 2005, China Central Television (CCTV) aired a two-part documentary about flying rods in China. It reported an incident which happened from May to June of the same year at Tonghua Zhenguo Pharmaceutical Company in Tonghua City, Jilin Province, which debunked the flying rods.[7] 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, the curious research staff of the facility, being scientists, 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 (done to save video space). This is the empirical evidence showing that the "rods" themselves can be captured, and that they do indeed prove to be ordinary animals.

I knew they were bugs from the moment I saw the first video ever put out on the subject. People will believe anything.

I think that was in Mexico if I'm not mistaken. That hole is very deep and goes into a cave. There are tons of birds and bugs flying around that place all the time. Nothing odd or supernatural about any of it.

Isn't it the same hole they went to for the start of Arachnaphobia?

It was just weird how unnatural the rods moved, never thought it was something as simple as birds or bugs since i've made shitloads of videos myself and never seen the "phenomenon"
