CHINESE PHOTOGRAPHER CAPTURES FLYING ROD

At about 8:00pm, on the evening of May 9, a photojournalist employed with Foshan Daily braved heavy rain and a violent lightning storm in order to capture some outdoor atmospheric shots.

Setting an aperture of f/2.8 and shutter speed of 1/10sec, the photographer focused his digital camera on distant buildings and the sky before taking a series of pictures automatically at half second intervals.

When it came time to upload the images to his computer he immediately noticed that in three of the photo's an unidentified object had been captured, apparently while in flight.

There are many in China who are familiar 'flying sticks' and regard them as being somewhat mystical in nature. For us in the West this unexplained phenomenon is more well known by the term RODS.

Invisible to the naked eye, RODS are usually captured on video film and their presence in the air is often only identifiable while reviewing footage frame-by-frame. They appear to possess a remarkable ability enabling them to pass through solid objects with ease.

Are RODS merely speedy insects caught in flight, or could they represent a previously and entirely unknown lifeform that shares the same planet as ourselves?

In the fall of 2002 a film and television company, while recording a documentary at the Beijing Yunju Temple, discovered it had inadvertantly captured a glistening flying object, whose presence in the film was only confirmed during examination of each individual frame. Two years later, a similar object appeared in video footage taken of the Imperial Palace. The ROD, or flying stick, was clearly visible as having three pairs of white, symmetrical, wings.

Approximately two years ago I obtained two nighttime pictures taken from a CCTV camera mounted at a power station in China. In both, RODS were visible in the air.
