she caught this when she was playing~
how do you think?
real or illusion?

my friend said may be an illusion,because can't see the trace like spiral
and may be my camera is not fast enought
(she use Canon A80 to take it)

Probably just from a jet.....

Looks like a building in the trees to me, like a train depot.

To me it looks like something on the ground. If it is something in the air it would have to be really low to the ground.

Looks like the top of a building to me also. If you look closely you can see it.

Its something behind the camera in the room, look closely at the faint image to its left.

Rods are bugs that are iluminated by the sun when the reletive area around them is darker. It makes a streak behind it when you don't follow its speed with you eyes or camera.

. just the roof of a building I'm afraid..

It is clearly the reflection of the camra.

It's the roof of another building, sorry.

Yes, I have heard about these mysterious rods, and they turn out to be insects. And tricky small bastards too...

A rather new entry in the field of Cryptozoology, rods are creatures said to flit about in the air at such a high speed as to not be seen by the naked eye. Almost all sightings of rods are based on video evidence.

They appear to be anywhere from 5 inches to 3 feet in length (about 15 to 90 cm),

Imagine having one of those in your appartment...

Read it all here:

en.wikipedia.org...

It is possibly a terrace.

If these 'rods' are real, and go as fast as some claim they do, id hate to get clobbered by one. On the other hand i dont think ive ever heard of this happening to anyone.

It's probably a case of 'in one ear and out the other'

EDIT : when I read the thread title I have to admit I was hoping she had "caught" a rod literally... like in a jam jar or something!

I'ts a reflection of what looks like part of the chrome rim of a coffee table.

Thanks for the blow up....

Now it clearly appears to be a reflection from an object in the room... Chrome trim sounds like the one I'd go with so far....

ic~thanl you so much~
