Cecil,
What do you make of the “rods” phenomenon? If you don’t know already, filmmaker Jose Escamilla claims to have discovered an odd new life form (apparently) that moves
very fast (100+ mph) and can only be seen with a video camera.
His website is http://www.roswellrods.com. He’s tried to recreate the “rod” phenomenon with normal objects like
birds, bugs, even crossbow bolts, but nothing looks quite like a rod.
Channel 8 in San Diego was able to capture a few of these critters on videotape outside their studio.
If you have RealPlayer you can view that news story at:

Later they sent an crew to a cave in Mexico where “rods” had been videotaped in large numbers. They found dozens. You can view that story here:

They also found many more rods on news footage they’d already shot, or broadcasted on other channels. Channel 9 in Oklahoma City captured the same sort of object on a weather camera, reportedly moving against the wind during a storm in 1999 (though it’s hard to tell on streaming media). You can see that video here:

A coworker of mine studied some of his old videotapes and found a rod on one of them.
What do you think?
