Capturing "Rods" Using infrared.

A trusted fellow researcher I know recently caught this "rod" footage while shooting with his infrared camera. I believe this footage is genuine


I knew I had seen this shape and movement before and rechecked the documentary I had seen it in and they were identical.



The purpose of this thread is not to debate the nature of the images captured here but to reach out to any other photographers who have found these sorts of anomalies while filming with infrared.

if the purpose of this thread is to find out if any other photograhers have filmed anomalies in infrared, wouldnt it be better served in a different forum? a scientific one maybe

wow- an insect fillmed in IR

Rods have been proven to be bugs flying close by the camera.
2nd.

"infrared" can refer to many types of imaging captured by many different types of imaging devices. What type of infrared photography are you asking for? Near infrared, Near infrared inclusive visible, short wave thermal, long wave thermal, something else?

I guess what I'm saying is that the IR band encompasses a large piece of the spectrum and portions of it can be as unrelated as the radio spectrum is to the visible spectrum. It would be helpful if you were more specific.

This is a minimalist post please provide your evidence and source.
In actual fact while some anomalies captured on film may be insects the experiment carried out in the second movie demonstrates that this is not the case for rods.
As the researcher in the first provided video admits this may be a bug the fact that you have made your statement so soon after I posted tells me you did not bother to study it before posting.
(Sigh typical rehash programed posts. posts All filler no killer)

For whats its worth I believe 'Rods' are a not yet discovered, non intelligent species possibly feeding from sunlight?

I dont believe they are traditional insect type as rods captured on camera at special frame rates and they all have basically the same look? Is that really hard to believe.

I have a few different photos and videos that seem simalur...

This picture was taken in the middle of the desert during our move from Washington State to Nevada.



Here is one of the strange rod or worm like thing I have caught on camera.




** Also another thing to add is these things love to hang around my children and usually only capture them while they are home...

They have already been captured. They are made of some jelly-like substance, but decompose as soon as they die. Prob the reason why they are so light.

Not really I believe the nature of this post is that the images are "unidentified" flying objects. Rods are an accepted ufo phenomenon for many ufo researchers.

In the doco provided they are demonstrated around the shuttle in IR on NASA cam and moving past a skydiver during his drop footage. Kinda had for bugs to get up there but hey I'm open to possibilities.

This one is a good example of insect becoming rods, i have seen better than this, but couldent find it.

I will agree on bugs.



Here is the better one.

It is possible to pick up bugs using a camera I cannot argue against this however upon closer inspection of shape and movement one finds that the "Rods" Look much different and move differently. The ones captured around the shuttle are my favourite however for the most part the ones I am referring to are upper atmosphere captures. Thanks for sharing a comparison video though it shows the remarkable differences.
Lke comparing a banana with a boomerang and saying its a banana because it shares similarities.

Watch at 3:00

Good find but we would need a closer look at the bugs flying there to check the difference. On the other side some of these ' Rods ' appear far larger than standard insects with the same shape on camera.

I know they have been debunked as being insects, but the 'authentic' videos always seem to have that uncanny corkscrew shape, that doesn't seem the same on the other insect videos.

Yes they are clearly some kind of insect which possibly live in space and our atmosphere feeding off sunlight its not hard to believe when we compare with nature that occurs at other exterme levels.

It doest however reside within ufo/alien phenomenon

Yes clearly they are not an insect, at the speeds they have been clocked in footage would exceed any known living organism. They are unidentified they Fly they are some sort of object = UFO
Any comparison of the two types of footage show the debunk videos to be sloppy explanations Banana does not equal boomerang.
If I had the whit of Charles Hoy Fort I could think of a clever observation of the straw-man bug postulation.

In the monsterquest video (above) "It is impossible to determine what the images are." They come to the same conclusion bugs and birds can be captured however they cannot determine the nature of the upper atmosphere rods.

Who? Jose Escamilla? Many ufo researchers consider him to be a joke.

Well if you're still considering rods as ufo's then you're not doing very much research. They're insects.

If you are using Character assassination as your "evidence" of insects your talking to the wrong researcher try again or don't try at all.

Just to know, what was the insect filmed here?



I'm trying to find 2 other vids where we could see one, gigantic rod, flying over a mountain, and another one, coming out of a tornado, filmed by a journalist in a helicopter. Anyone remembers them and can assure they were debunked?
