  • All things in motion can achieve the same effect.

    The crossing of the woman's head is an optical illusion already explained.

    In space are likely to be space debris (there are thousands).

    Speed​is only apparent and depends on the distance of the object with a video camera (distance unverifiable).

    The most logical explanation, usually, is that true.

  • who plugs thier ears for a paintball gun what a pussy

  • The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Occam's Razor. I'm comfortable with the moth answer.

    Case closed Escamilla.

  • @tintin777ful u dum dum

  • they move like squid

  • they go through walls and stuff too,even through peoples heads plus can be huge in size.

  • moth in outer space?? haha fucking idea..

  • Recently released Nasa footage shows the same "rods" in space. Space travelling moths?? These rods are moving at thousands of miles per hour. Maybe they're just weather balloons or swamp gas? Open your eyes and realize it is a real phenomenon...

  • @SuperTrustFall link to this vid pls or bullshit

  • Is he really called Dr. Who?

  • @GlowWorm1962 Who ?

  • The problem is that they RODS (skyfish) are also filming in winter in cold weather. Insects are usually killed by cold weather. proof, this is amateur video. See from 27 seconds (on Youtube) /watch?v=vNg2yeol0t4

  • If everybody had the same cameras as the Monday Night Football crews have, there would be no "ROD PHENOMENON"... If you people would just spend the, several thousand dollars, for one of those REAL cameras, you will never record another "ROD" again... By the way, those cameras are also very light weight. They only weigh a couple hundred pounds...

  • I saw a video before of Rods under water. what kind moth can do that?

  • yea they are moth like things

  • how about the ufo?

  • Case closed-Finally! Now; what ppl ought to know is that the only "rod" that has ever been described is exactly that-a rod or cigar-shaped object sometimes hundreds of ft. &up to a mile in length. Seemingly rare contrasted w/traditional UFO sightings of disc shaped objects or 'craft', not rarer than the 'flying boxcar' &which itself may be the same sort of thing depending on perspective viewed. This videographic age has ppl wanting to see everything cameras see as UFOs &otherowrld objects.

  • Just a thought... Have there been any sightings without the use of a camera? You know, with the human eye, which has no shutter speed or frames per second to confuse things... I mean, if several people witnessed these things at the same time, just using their eyes, then that would instantly prove or disprove their existence.

  • @torino390 The effective 'shutter-speed' equivalent of the human eye has been established to be around 1/30th of a second (1/10th in the dark). In cinematography, the human brain (minus some integration over time) will no longer perceive frame flicker at around 50hz, or 1/50th of a second, therefore you are unable to discern detail beyond that range once the phenomenon of 'motion blur' comes into effect.

  • @radionactive In rod photography, rods themselves usually begin to appear at speeds of around 1/60th of a second and higher, which is above the average threshold of human sight. Even though the brain is sensitive enough to have a 'sense' or awareness of objects moving at this speed, they will mostly appear like a brief blur or sudden streak across one's field of vision. At this speed any rod, or insect, would only be noticed once it had passed into one's peripheral vision.

  • no a low shutter speed makes everything like ten times as bright thats how i managed to capture a ufo go on my page to check it out

  • Finally someone showed it.. I couldn't watch this rod sillyness allaround youtube

  • please man..explain this video: 8sDE1Z7h7xA but this will give you hard time because its not close to the camera, its behind a couple of ppl :)

  • OMFG just set up a massive net and catch 1 ffs RETARDS

  • @jellyadult they dismiss that plan by saying they can defy physics and move through solid objects. :-P

  • hey guys??what is a rod ??^^

  • lol....Dr who!!!

  • moths were like hey lets only breed the FASTEST BITCHES in our species okay? and they came up with these beasts

  • yeah well science cannot explain what messed with me on a deck in Philly 2 years ago- this "thing" was soooo tiny- had great intelligence- was encapsulated in it's shell- freaked us all out before it shot away so I believe rods must be real

  • Ohmygosh I love you. XD

    See? They are bugs! What was with the guy that said that they were real and could move through the 4th dimension?

  • Looks like a spiral nt a rod..

  • ...

    Why was a bug near a plane? :/

    It works for some accounts, but certainly not all.

  • aww, i wanted them to be real :(

  • wow the ending to this video was so convincing im not sure if i believe there real anymore haha!

  • i don't say they are real because i think they are not.. but with all those tests, was that video with the moth the best they can do?? This video does not explain rods.

  • Yes it does. Evidence is evidence.

  • 1:19 Does that guy really think a paintball gun is going to be that loud...

  • not all rods are bugs and shutter speed, even if 99% are, wth is the other 1%.

  • I fuggin love it! a moth! ^.^

  • I took a photo a few years ago at night on film and when i got the photo back i saw someting i couldnt explain. After thinking about things i realised it was a pigeon that got spooked and flew infront of the lens and basicly it was shutter open for to long.

  • Yes, this solves the sightings of the average rods caught on camera, but I watched the video this clip was taken from, and they told a story of how a man filmed a rod flying at the same height and speed of an airplane, and the CIA "confiscated" it from him.

  • 3:16

  • I like that the title of video is "Myth of Rods exposed" when the video has a doctor who says he doesn't believe the flight pattern of these "things" is anything like an insect...

    Too bad that last piece really looked rather irrefutible

  • BULLSHIT !!!!!!!

  • would be interesting to know if any rods have been caught on a high speed camera

  • that was an excellent demonstration at the end, problem is what are the rods that are a few feet long? birds perhaps? also the odd number of wings? cant be explained as being a moth. this video should be entitled explanation for rods in one case lol

  • that explains it alright. so simple.

  • now wait a minute... a moth? really? when's the last time you saw a moth at the speeds these things have been filmed at? that's one fast moth... now, i don't know what they are, and frankly, i don't really care, we don't know everything and that's cool with me, but a moth??? surely not. more research needed me thinks...

  • @torino390 A moth moving close to a camera lens can look like another thing going very fast a lot further away. 12 inches from the lens it passes in a frame or two. If you assume it was several feet further away you will calculate these amazing speeds that a "Rod" was supposed to be travelling.

  • @torino390 You don't know what they are and frankly you don't care? Is that a way of saying you want you have your two-penn'orth but you don't want hear what anybody else has to say? The 'rod' at the end was shown beyond any doubt to be a moth because it was synchronised on both the high-speed and standard-speed cameras. On the standard-speed camera you can see it's a moth. Quite apart from which the bush was shaken prior to the experiment. Was the bush full of rods?

  • @torino390 I had a moth fly around in my room and let me tell you it's wings were flapping so fast that you can barely see it. So a high speed camera would make a moth appear to be a slow as a butterfly. Rods explained. :)

  • @torino390 hi there, take a look at my recent videos I have posted, a rod event I have captured in my back yard, I cant explain what it is either.

  • Nice theory and it might make sense. The only problem is what about cameras that record at 60p or high speed cameras? Not all cameras shoot interlaced. As this becomes more prominent in cameras it will be interesting to see what the future holds.

  • people panic over the dumbest things

  • well, sorry for being a believer... nah i won´t sorry just because u think they don´t exist FUCKING BASTARD the one who is retarded is you because it seems that you haven´t learned that u have to respect the opinions of other people. And please, a FUCKING(like you!!!) moth? you have to be retarded if u think moths can fly at that speed stupid IDIOT. So suck my dick!!!!!! STUPID GAY BASTARD!!!!!

  • Oh my God, grow up. You just said yourself that you should respect other peoples opinions, right? By the sounds of things you're not doing just that at all, are you?

  • sup people

  • wow...bummer. I always wondered wtf they were and I never saw this. Got to admit I'm disappointed. But there is no argument, they are just insects.

    Christ I hope Sasquatch is real...

  • sasquatch is real since my friend is one and he always says "i'm not a sasquatch" i know what to believe.

  • Funny, the phenomenon is so simple, but apparently many just don't get it. Is the concept of long exposures really so difficult to understand?

    The interlacing is probably not relevant with these videocamera shots.

  • 1. if they are moths, explain the lenght

    2. if they are moths, etc..., explain the number of wings

    3. TELL ME IF YOU HAVE SEEN A THIN CYLINDRIC CREATURE OF MORE THAN 6M LONG THAT FLIES AT THAT INCREADIBLE SPEED!!!!!

    do you know one? no? i knew it!

  • Wow the facts have been just presented to you in this video and you still refused to understand the true ,are u retarded??? really are you ?? so i can stop bother you.

  • i can't tell.....i'm no scientist.......but sorry, i am not buying it.....with this i am not saying they do exist.....but a moth ???? mmmmmmm

  • rods are just optical illusions created by motion blur from any ordinary fast flying insects like moths. the camera is unable to capture it relatively with its speed, thus the insect's body ends up to be even more lengthened due to motion blur as when the video is captured from a bad camera.

  • this does not explain rods, they need to go to a different place because all that guy did was stir up moths not rods. they dont just lay in the bushes. they fly around constantly

  • This DOES explain ''ROD's''.

    A Rod is a moth, which can fly at very high speed.

    As they said, at almost every camera, (except for the 1000 FPS camera), the ROD is a long blurry thing.

    The moth moves fastly in front of the camera, and depending on the fps of the camera, it decides how long the seen creature on the camera is.

    The speed makes the moth make more Frames in one second, so you see a long thing.

    And how would you know they fly constantly?

    Do you have prove?

    Regards

  • no there are a few vidoes that you can plainly tell that they are not moths. look up photos of rods, or stirling rods 2 and you will see..

  • Play stirling rods in 1000 FPS and you'll see that i'm right..

    Photo's of rods, it doesn't plainly tell me it isn't a moth.

    In this vid they clearly showed it are moths.

    Closed.

  • Did you not see the end of the video? Watch the end of the video again.

  • Dr Who?

  • So, if someone was shooting with a video camera in progressive mode (not interlaced), the doubling of the image shouldn't happen, although a long shutter speed would cause motion blur. Therefore if a rod is caught on a bright day with short shutter speeds, in p mode, it's hard to explain?

  • You can expose my rod

    Hahaha

  • wtf? lol

  • Complete BS. Video a bird you dont see a rod split frame only applies to certain shots. There are old photos of rods taken with box cameras. Someone needs to spend the money for an expedition and catch one, I feel they live in trees, been seen around caves so they can see in the dark. They eat something and must sleep somewhere. A strange creature indeed....

  • yap still not solve? they have to catch some to prouve it...even tho we cant see them naked eyes just put a net weres thers some!

  • A few months back, someone mentioned neutrinos. We can't film them, but we can passively detect them. Why haven't any experiments of that sort been applied to rods? If they exist, other animals with faster eyes than humans must interact with them. I'm not convinced either way, but trying to film something that supposedly moves so fast seems pointless, no?

  • great video. i hope they will catch one and research it. its amazing. i am speachless

  • Still doesn't solve it! Stupid! The Documentary is not even complete.

  • Based on what I seen and heard here, I highly recommend the Doctor take a look at my site.

  • haha awesome.. 10 seconds of truth at the end making all the rod believers look like retards... or as in the movie hangover "retárds"

  • I dont know what goes in space. But in our lower atmosphere, Insects. Its not rocket science. There are probibly different creatures that hace amazing speed. Imagine, The SCALE speed would be equal to a thousand or more MPH. Next, We discuss Sasquatch. I dont have one of those in my grill.

  • wow, docter who regenerated into a chinese bloke lol.

    now to be serios, at 3:20 that is the most strange, it could be a bird, but thats a wierd bird.

    but now knowing there just moths or other bug, ive gone off of this rod thing, dam you science

  • Comment removed

  • Sometimes the Rods will rotate for safety. This makes it very difficult for a preditor to eat the Rod.  The Rod is actually an insect. I have a dead one I found in my car grill. Very interesting bug!!

  • a dead one in your car grill eh...

    uh-huh

    and how come this wasnt on the news?

  • wow it's confirmed. it was a cool phenomena anyhow.

  • they look like spiral wings

  • RY:

    A moth? Are you shitting me? Okay, maybe I don't know what these things are.

  • i'm sorry.....did he say Dr Who? lmao

  • Only need to watch the last 25 seconds of this.

  • wait if the rods are bugs then how are they in space? Are they just debree moving so fast the shutter speed makes it look like that?

  • The word "rod" is never mentioned in any discussion of objects in space.

  • By the way, if you're trying to find the footage I'm talking about, good luck. Really. It was broadcast in 73, 74, 75, something like that. Which, by the way, was about 20 years before the web even existed. I'm actively looking for it, but franky, I have little hope. I know. You'll say "because it doesn't exist." You're half right. It does exist, but I doubt it's on the web. By the way, why is there not a single reputable scientist looking for them? MIT? The government? Seems important, no?

  • Whatever, dude. I saw the whole "rod" thing "discovered" back in the mid 70's. Then debunked with stroboscopic videography. What's Escamilla using? 800 frames a second? A thousand? Big deal...

  • JFK was killed by a rod, you know. Oh, yeah. Damn thing flew right through his head. Splattered his brains all over the trunk of the convertible. Real mess. And you know, theyre still looking for that rod? Yep. After all these years, no one has seen it, heard it, found it, caught it, nothing. Sure is an elusive little bugger, isnt it? Just like the tens of thousands of other rods that are constantly flying around all over the place. And are never seen. Or heard. Or caught. :-/

  • oooh sarcasm, the skeptics best weapon! we havent seen them because the human eye has limits on speed that a video camera doesnt have and they are seemingly translucent. you cant hear them for the same reason you dont hear most of the other insects (which im sure they probably are) flying by. people havent caught them for the same reasons we cant see or hear them... have you ever seen, heard or caught a neutrino? no. just because science doesnt have the answer for this yet, doesnt make it fake.

  • Science has found an answer. It's explained in great detail in the above video. It's not fake. Insects are real.

  • 30 frames a second? people actually believe this trash? the footage from the canyon where birds chase them was taken by a profession news camera... has no one seen a moth flying in real life? any news camera on a standard setting will easily show a moth as a moth. the history channel is a known source of misinformation... once again people are fooled by a simulation, these guys are camera and effects experts folks, they can simulate anything.

  • oh and btw jose escamilla, the guy who made rods famous uses high speed cameras... so there goes that whole explanation down the drain.

  • Dr. Hu? Oh boy where do the jokes begin? Did he escape from a James Bond set? Cause his theory is a little off. They came here with the other visitors a moth with alot of extra go power.

  • High speed insects?! Motoring moths?!

  • haha the sources revealed...a moth

  • Roads are real ! I've got one right in front of my house !

    Come with your high speed cams. I'm not afraid !

  • okay, obviously not an effect of the interlaced video. so they're suggesting that the moth traveled all that distance in ONE second? i understand interlacing and high speed cameras very well and this makes no sence

  • Most of rods could be probably some insects, but I think that some are not. You can see on some Escamilla's videos that some of the rods are really big and that they are flying BEHIND some objects that are very far in the sky. Everything that moves so fast will probably have same effect while filming. IMO most of those little fast flying rods are simply moths and flies, but some of rods are simply too big. Big fast creatures? Big fast birds? Fast UFO's? I don't know!

  • moth?? ha .. thats the lousiest ATTEMPT at covering up! f*** this biased mainstream media

  • a fucking moth lol

  • the rod we seemed to capture was ugh.. just a flying moth lol what idiots

  • shutterspeed? no...can't explain the footages that show the rods changing directions.

    moth? no...can't explain the footage of the rod that wen't behind a tree (that's one gigantic moth if that's the case!)

  • at 4:05, it looked like a bacon...haha

  • DRAGON FLYS HAVE 4 WIN GS

  • 4 wings, 2 pairs :]

  • Dr Who? lol

  • I knew all my weeks of watching MonsterQuest and all the goose chases would pay off. No conspiracy, just a video optics effect. makes you wonder about all the other conspiracies, doesn't it?

  • mynameislort & sami2987... "plausable and believable science" Yeah... what a lame way to debunk a myth that people with nothing better to do with their time desperately want to believe. Science shmience! DUH...looks different from DAYTIME "rods" because they shot at NIGHT for clearer image and thus used LONGER SHUTTER SPEED than would be used in daytime. The night time with BLACK BACKGROUND makes it easier to SEE CLEARLY. But by all means hold on to your pathetic fantasy if you need it so badly.

  • how disappointing

  • loooool

  • I saw that whole show about rods on tv and it was so weird. If they're really organisms then they're my favorite animal lol. That part of the show did not explain it. There was much more said about it as well.

  • I saw that show, this doesn't debunk Rods in any way.

  • dipshit

  • hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhah­ahahahahahah

  • Debunking protocol...Sandwich disinformation between plausable and believable science....The easiest way to keep a secret is to make people believe they know the answer.

  • mistaken them as ufo

  • lol nothing has been debunked, u dumbasses must be stupid, what they caught at the end doesnt even look like a rod, a rod doesnt have that many side things on it, so FAIL as usual u dumb ass shmucks.

  • Ha ha. very very good debunking. Bravo!

  • Dr. Who?

  • one of the blurred images of a "rod" flying, it's "wings" reminds me a lot of those sea slugs that glide through water, of course, now we know "rods" are just moths and bugs.

  • Dr. Who... lol

  • I actually watched this episode a few months ago, they couldn't explain all of the rods, it was still unknown what exactally rods were. That was just a small clip of it where they tried to do some tests, the whole episode is pretty interesting.

  • If you v'e ever had a deja vu, even a mild one, then you must know that we haven't a clue what reality is.

  • yup, they're moths. absolutely. the effect is due to the normal speed cameras we use. that's it. I am amazed. Towards the end, you can clearly see how the moth would have created that elongated effect. Wow.

  • CRACK THIS RODS UNDERWATER /watch?v=amnNgXRK_vo @ 2.38

  • What discovery , called a rod is NOT a typical rod.

    They filmed a moth that looked like a Rod .

    Rods are real people

  • 5:09 01253328

    5:12 01253408<--- next frame , oeps discovery

    1000 frames a second , nice frames to show us .

    Oooh thats right you have a paid out come , there was no really test here .

    RODS A REAL PEOPLE DO YOUR RESEARCH

    Why mas with the counter? It's to obvious ,..

    5:29

  • Nice work on the counter btw , look how it's being tampered !

  • watch?v=amnNgXRK_vo 2:40 watch this video and see that rods are mots lol , how can a insect make the same underwater , bs

  • Look closely at 5:00 You see several rods fly , but they take the "rod" they doesn't look like the normal shorter rods on film,

    Rods are filmed underwater CAN any one explain that?

  • modern consumer products - they truly are a mystery... for those that don't understand them. Dont worry, I wont steal your excitement. I can see you need to believe this stuff...maybe its the kid in you.

  • Its true , that's why they don't try to explain , why we see the same thing swimming in the sea ,... that can't be a moth .

    Discovery channel terrible failed to debucke this

  • omg so many of those were contrast issues. puaha. so gulible you are. obviously these rod conspiracy theorist dont use cameras =/.

  • and fly under water this shit is bullshit

  • Lol this is a bs video

  • LOL a moth

  • lol no wonder americans are dumb..

    they haft to sit down and watch this piece of crap!

  • History channel is completely owned don't believe the channel for a second

  • wow, true denial. even when the evidence is presented to you in a scientific fashion (with a control and experimetal) you still prove resilient. you are completely owned

  • No you have the true denial .

    Your the one who is brainwashed here , I agree with King777tut.

    Everything that discovery does is smelly , and paid.

    And some who is paid , will give the one who paid them there result ;)

  • I'm disapointed.

  • What is the title of the program from which this clip was taken from?

  • 'The flying wooden dildo's of Barbara Streisand'

  • hah

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA

  • what's the name of this documentary?

  • booger mountain rods

  • ow, now you made me cry ;_;, every single mystery bout them was a lie =,O

  • The moth at 5:05 didn't move like the traditional "rod" that I saw on other videos. It certainly WAS a moth

  • How disappointing! Another mystery explained, and the world is a little more boring.

  • Ditto. The school of Science has to reason the unreasonable, or it cannot sleep at night. I too delight in these mysteries, but I also suspect that there is a hell of lot more out there than meets the eye, so to speak. So hold on to your thinking caps 'cause there's something coming, and it's gonna blow mankind away. No exaggeration.

  • what are you getting at there hartistry?

  • This is just a part of the whole show. It hasent been solved yet, at least thats what i think.

  • ..."No more than a bug flying through our field of view.".....well, so much for Rods in Space. NEXT!

  • Explains the small "rods", but doesn't explain the videos of rods that happen to fly past airplanes and through clouds. The airplanes give a sense of the scale of the rods.

  • All the big rods are is moth's but they are close to the camera so it makes them look big

  • That explains the "small rods" that are obviously close to the viewer, but not the "big rods" that zoom through clouds and past airplanes, as clearly seen on some good video footage.

  • This is kind of BS cause the rods in videos dont have anything behind them or sometimes near them.

  • oh wait a bit didnt watch hole vid :)

  • It's about time somebody shut Jose Escamilla up, and forced him to get a real job. Dr. Who saves the day again, but this time from a real charlatan!

  • are u think we're stupids?

    open this video on 2 windows pause one at 5:21

    and the other at 5:09 the rod has not the same position
