great show cfz ,whats your take on flying rods?

[cfztv]

I have always been fascinated by them. Jose Escamilla is an old friend of mine, and he convinced me 10 years back..

[norseleague]

He looks like "giant haystacks"!!!

[BobMonkfish]

My hunch is that the main island or continental Australia are better bets. Simply a bigger habit, which would mean less inbreeding and more food (the ones in Tasmania were apparently very inbred according to genetic studies). If they eat shellfish or fish (do they?) then that might broaden the possibilities.

[EoceneRoxton]

or on any of the isolated islands near tasmania.

i know what u mean, but why say anything?

[BobMonkfish]

@41312111, I have been using cameras since I left my pram... Most of the things which get called orbs, rods etc are fairly obviously due to bad photography. I'm not saying that they all are, but the vast majority are. Fast objects blur/distort/elongate on slow exposure film.

[41312111]

@BobMonkfish you have to understand the technologies and how to differenciate the real from fake, go study it if u want to be the almighty 1 who proves or disproves this

[blancouitgouda]

keep up the great work guys

i love the unknown

[BobMonkfish]

Most rods are insects. That's been pretty successfully proven. I'm not saying that they all are, but I think the majority are. Just like orbs. Haven't folk heard of lens flares, problems with film etc?

[BobMonkfish]

I hope the CFZ will do this. After all, it's their logo, and pretty likely to exist IMHO. But in Tasmania, or somewhere in remote Continental Australia? That's the question.

[BobMonkfish]

If "conventional science" had explained the phenomena, then it would cease to exist. Science's proper aim (when not abused) is to expand the boundaries of human knowledge.
