Rods

This is a new stupid thing I'm going to get into. 

Where do the rods come from? Are they indigeneous [sic] to the planet Earth? I dont [sic] believe they are. The fact that they are so different from any other indigeneous [sic] lifeforms on the Earth lead me to believe that they may well be extraterrestrial. We are use [sic] to seeing aliens as being portrayed as two legged, two armed, two eyed human like beings. But the truth of the matter is, and again this is only my opinion, truly alien life should in my estimation be, well.... alien!

Well said. 

Maybe someone can do this as their Syndicate Science Fair project.  Maybe we should capture one for study.

Oh, wait turns out someone already caught some:

On August 8-9 2005, China Central Television (CCTV) aired a two-part documentary about flying rods in China. It reported an incident which happened from May to June of the same year at Tonghua Zhenguo Pharmaceutical Company in Tonghua City, Jilin Province, which debunked the flying rods.^[9] Surveillance cameras in the facility's compound captured video footage of flying rods identical to those shown in Jose Escamilla's video. Getting no satisfactory answer to the phenomenon, the curious research staff of the facility, being scientists, decided that they would try to solve the mystery by attempting to catch these airborne creatures. Huge nets were set up and the same surveillance cameras then captured images of rods flying into the trap. When the nets were inspected, the "rods" were no more than regular moths and other ordinary flying insects. Subsequent investigations proved that the appearance of flying rods on video was an optical illusion created by the slower recording speed of the camera (done to save video space). This is the empirical evidence showing that the "rods" themselves can be captured, and that they do indeed prove to be ordinary animals.

Wikipedia says so.

Well, who do you believe?  The Rods or wikipedia?
