This incredible video in Infra Red filter shooted during the daylight show, wave after wave, an huge fleet of unidentified objects, invisible to naked eye, that cover entire sky.

Rods do not exist .
RODS are nothing more than birds or insects captured on camera who's wings are moving faster than the given shutter speed .
Back on topic:
Not all birds fly in formation and the faster moving objects are probably just insects passing closer to the lens .
Logic once again saves the day .

Stars. The stars don't leave the sky when the sun comes up. These are stars. The same ones we see at night.
They are fruit bats

Good Lord. Some of the replies on this thread are just sad.
It's like some of you have no critical thinking and are only able to use occam's razor. Well, sorry but sometimes things are a little more complex than our human brains can comprehend.
IMO, they are not birds or bugs or stars.
They are UFO's.
Also, perhaps he didn't zoom in because he was in bed sleeping while his camera was filming.
Maybe we should ask him? His youtube page seems legit and his comments are rational.
Seriously.... some of you need to get it through your skulls that there is a paranormal phenomenon going on on this planet that involves UFO's in our skies.
....really "Out of the Blue" is a beginner documentary and if you haven't even watched and are commenting on this thread.... your opinion is useless.

They are fruit bats.
I spent the first half of my life living in Melbourne and have seen them many times at dawn and dusk.

Why wouldn't they be visible with the normal lens? I'm just curious, not really saying you're wrong. You have the most logical explanation so far.
Low light conditions make them hard to see with the naked eye.....Unless the camera has an incredibly high ISO value(40k+), it won't be able to detect them without isolating a smaller frequency range of light(in this case infra-red) in the electro-magnetic spectrum.
To the poster above....
The flight patterns are what gave away the fact it was a fruit bat(AKA flying fox).
When the bats do their daily commute to their food source, they will generally fly spread out and maintain one heading/direction. Unlike other bats, flying foxes can see and will not fly erratically like their echo-locating cousins.
Watch them fly across the front of the moon. They don't fly in perfect formation.
They fly in a swarm of frenzy. Unorganized.

If you see them at either end of their commute, you will see a chaotic swarm as mentioned.
But.....If you see them during their commute (the distance they fly to a food source can be many tens of kilometres away) you will find them flying in straight lines(as in the OP's video) though they are spread out and sporadically dispersed.
On a good day(night?), the cloud of bats can be several kilometres wide and last for 20 - 30 mins, stretching from horizon to horizon.
Amazing that you never saw fruit bats in infrared and can recognize them from such a distance from the camera and DURING DAY LIGHT! Last time i check, bats fly at night.

On a dark night, you won't see them.
On a moonlit night.....if you are in the right place at the right time, you can see many tens of thousands(maybe more) of fruit bats flying in exactly the manner shown on the video in the OP without any optical aides.
Can you verify that the footage was taken after sunrise?....because to me....it looks more like pre-dawn light.....exactly the right time for bats to be heading back to roost for the day.
