Just read the front page SD item about “rods.” I have never heard of this phenomenon. Has anyone ever seen this? Anyone know if there are video clips on the 'net of this?

Cheers

Wf, that link you provided does not have any info on video of rods.

Supposedly there’s Rods in the movies [here](http://users.ids.net/~equinox/EQpics1.html) but I ain’t seeing it.

You’re right, I should have used a search engine first. I came up with this page of stills.
