    enigma Flying
Click For Summary
Flying rods are phenomena captured on film that appear as elongated shapes moving rapidly, often described as having wave-like appendages. Observers report that these rods seem to exhibit some intelligence, dodging obstacles in their path. While some believe they could be extraterrestrial life forms due to their unique characteristics, others argue they are likely just insects or birds flying close to the camera lens, creating optical illusions. Skeptics point out that many videos of rods lack motion blur, suggesting they may be digitally manipulated or hoaxed. The discussion includes references to various sightings and videos, with some participants expressing a desire for more rigorous investigation into the phenomenon. Overall, the existence and nature of flying rods remain contentious, with calls for more evidence to substantiate claims of their authenticity.

I believe this is the page that I found the link for "roswell rods" sometime ago.

http://www.roswellrods.com/

Made of pure energy? What exactly is "pure energy"? Has there ever been any of this "pure energy" measured or recorded, or are rods God's angels?
"pure energy" is something that has energy but not matter - like light.

BTW, I didn't use any , , , or :wink: , but I assumed by now people would understand I was being sarcastic.

Here we go!, my cousin came over to my house one night, we were listening to some music and he was glancing at the TV guide(so much for my music!), anyway he suddenly aks if he could watch this documentry that had just started:R.O.DOS.

I started watching, and first immpression I was quite amazed! The video clearly shows some entity performing about 8Gs as if it had no connection to this Earthly World.

Anyway I slapped a video into the VP and pressed Record, for further inspection, we watched the video again, and it became quite clear these things were on people's video's, just what they were is another thing, the cross section of people from different parts of the world made the whole thing more plausable, as in each separate video the Rods were identical.

Ok, after my cousin had left,(he left claiming he was going to take up cave diving just so he could perform some major air-obatics), anyway I put the video on again so I could try and find any cool person in the video such as editing glitches and so on, I found none.

The following day my cousin retuned demanding that I play the video again for him(he tends to need little convincing that there is alien life amongst us). This time I started to devulge what I had come to the conclusion what R.O.D.S were as we watched, I started to explain that what all the video's had in common, were VIDEO-TAPE. Then I explained that video cassette manufacturer's could have encoded tapes with the R.O.D.S as part of a 'security trace' trying to trace the video cassettes that 'pirateers', we debated this and conclude highly unlikley.

We then moved on to some aspect of the video camera themselves, as this seems to be a quite recent happenning, I suggested some sort of aspect-ratio-auto-zoom-focus-anti-skip, data immbedded into the film/tape's, as a gauge for the camera's hardware?

Any way, these are just some of the clues that led us to solve the mystery of R.O.D.S!..IF you just take a look at some hand-held camera's from recent years, I am sure you too will see what just the rods are :wink: .

There is a debunking of this somewhere. It must be an off-topic blurb in another thread, but you are correct; they are bugs.

Note that this thread is over three years old. Since then this has all been explained or debunked so I am closing the thread.
