Night Lights Puts a Scare Into Texas Couple

[everythingeco]

Rods, insects. Watched a documentary on the a while back. They did a few controlled experiments with moths or something and this is what you get. A wavy looking rod, which is just blurred flight pattern. Surprised AP even put this story out. Slow news I suppose.

[nisher15]

There called "Rods". As previous posters have said it is some kind of insect.

This is old news from the 90s, was on a ton of scifi mystery shows back in the day. New news would be they caught and disected one.

its .....a.....bird. ever taken a picture of something moving?

[frosty92314]

If it is aliens from another planet somewhere, take me with you, please! There is no longer any intelligent life here.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

I give these people a lot of credit for not saying it was Jesus, because you know they thought it for at least a minute before alerting anyone else.

[grendelee]

am i theonly one that knows thats a bird? its a bird, flying.....not that complicated.

[Hunter7977]

This was explained on history channel's show MonsterQuest. It is a rapidly moving bug. They tried to buld a model of it 6 different ways, and based on it structure it would not fly. I agree with the others in that this is a wack ass news story!

[UglyMannheim]

This stuff has been debunked for years already. Google or Yahoo the words Rods or Sky Fish. It is an opitcal illusion caused by insects and cameras of a certain shutter speed. You would think a reporter would have done even a little bit of research.

[LelandReibling]

I filmed them myself also, and did research too. They are comon in winter which rules out insects. They also fly through solid objects, even next to a tornado uneffected so that rules out birds. Got any other debunking to speak of ?

[LogicQandA]

It is the Flying Spaghetti Monster

"I'm uh somewhat confusted, eh...WiilLLBURRRR!"

[arshsingh1984]

Stupid story; "not natural". Ok, then why is it setting off the camera? It's probably just a fast moving bug

[CelticDragon0]

I don't think any bug has an internal temperature of 86 degrees-not even a firefly

[grendelee]

what about a bugBIRD

[CelticDragon0]

That doesn't even make SENSE!

[oalemdemadrid]

undocumented species.

[monalisasmiles4you]

The title of this video is misleading. I thought the couple was scared of night lights...you know, night lights that children use if they're scared of the dark?!? lol

[BobForehead]

Fully agree; that's what made me look.

[sweetseasons1]

Rods- clearest I've ever seen.Mideval, that's the closest thing I can think as well.

[Pananarchist]

Moth + slow shutter speed = SPOOKY STUFF

[BobForehead]

THANK you. Guess most people haven't been told yet, and i was worried for a second that no-one actually knew what it was. Kinda amazing that the Associated Press, with it's many decades of worldwide syndication of video and photographic images, doesn't have anyone on staff saavy enough to at least guess that it's likely a blurred insect in the pictures.

[arshsingh1984]

Apparently, THIS passes for journalism these days

[BobForehead]

*shakes tiny fist at the Ghost Of Mildred Pierce* thank goddess that UPI died before it got a chance to see it's sister syndicate become a bubblegum machine full of 1 minute pap and agitprop.

[midevalcheese]

Genetic BS that they are just letting go.

It's happening all over the world.
