That's an awfully big missile for no nearby Airport towers to pick it up. BTW, it also looks kind of fake.

Lets call BarBRA Streisand, I'm sure she has a theory.

OK, so what's a ROD?

[Slicksadick]

It looks like the usual "rod" type of ufo. A goggle search of "Rods ufo" turns up all kinds of images similar to this one.

[dark_lord]

Standard UFO shot. Note that size is much larger than a "missle", and no exhaust.

Doesn't mean it is a bunch of little green/gray guys - but it is a UFO (by definition.)

It's a frigging insect zipping by near the camera, fer crying out loud!

You are correct! They are milking this for all it's worth!

[Karsus]

If it is an insect, what type of insect is it? And why couldn't the FBI id it as such?

[Karsus]

Yes, it is an insect that the FBI could not identify and had to send to Military Intel?

What type of insect looks like that?

Here is an image of ordinary bees taken from a "rods" webiste:

You can plainly see that these bees are magically turned into mysterious "rods" when filmed with a video camera moving across the field of view at a high rate of speed.

sorry, my link was bad.

[wireman]

I live just outside of Albany (Niskayuna), and this is no big thing here.

In my tavern, no one has even mentioned it - of course most of the guys here see stuff flying around all the time anyway.

[ABE]

It could be any kind of insect.

Typical video is 30 frames/second. Most insects beating wings can far outpace that, so what your seeing is the distance the bug flew in 1/30th sec (the striaght line) and the two sets of "fins" are two strokes of the wings.

At least that's my guess.

[Jened]

heard about this on the news awhile ago and was wondering what became of it.

[adaven]

Here is a jpg of your average Bee, rod-style! This really is a Bee. This pic was taken with a video camera to prove that rods are just insects flying close to the camera. It looks a lot like the "missle".

[adaven]

"missle" = "missile"

[verity]

Utter nonsense!

See thchronic's posts. Look, there are no space aliens, ancient astronauts, psychics, dimensional doorways, or Easter Bunnies. The X-Files was not a documentary.
