    wow dude you should be famous for finding this amazing proof

  2. scrtzn :

    @bezorr your an idiot to use wikipedia as a source of facts. keep in mind where the information on wiki comes from.

  3. barabellum80 :

    its a video effect what can happeend whit fast moveing objects.
    Even Monsterquest in there Creatures from the 4th Dimension episode got it.

  4. viewer821 :

    That’s not from the gun. An empty shell falls into a shaft in the cockpit where it falls down on the ground under the tank. Definitve a rod. That it appears while the gun shoots is just a coincedence.

  5. al3699 :

    flying as slow as the bird it is

  6. jcmegabyte :

    Interesting footage… I saw the shell fly out of the tank as the gun fired, and then what looked a lot like a dragonfly buzz by the camera lens (could have been another kind of fast-flying insect) right near the end… Nice capture! =)

  7. clnmyjts :

    Maybe it was the carbon from the gun blast the rod was seeking?
    You just don`t know what all they might feed on.

  8. angelofpleajdes :

    its an empty shell from the canon its spitted out. open your eyes and watch !

  9. 55758 :

    that is no rod.when you watch exactly you see that thing comes out of the cannon pipe when the tank shoot,than it hits the tank and leave a small dustcloud and goes up.hope you understand my english.lol…sorry,rods dont exist….

  10. bezorr :

    Rods do not exist. Look up in Wikipedia for facts. They don’t exist. That is a fact.

  11. UKNOWTHEIROUTTHEIR :

    Protopterygote

  12. dumbnetworks :

    hmm, but that is an insect, not a rod, you people are paranoid O_o

  13. cptskellern :

    the fat fucker steals peoples work!! the lame ass twat he is!! fukin midget prick!!!

  14. dorotaronnieray :

    So then what your saying is this, it would be impossable to film an insect or anything else that flaps its wings at a particular speed because the mathmatics say that everytime you did it would distort the image you see and produce a rod effect, NTSC explained, now explain the PAL footage

  15. iamspecialtoo :

    Quote “Rods are a videographic artifact based on the frame capture rate of the videocam versus the wingbeat frequency of the insects. Essentially what you see is several wingbeat cycles of the insect on each frame of the video, creating the illusion of a “rod” with bulges along its length. Anyone with a video camera can duplicate the effect, if you shoot enough footage of flying insects from the right distance.”

  16. SpyderMacFly :

    The cameras used to film this video were HIGH SPEED shutter cameras. When they filmed this they wanted clear footage of the shells being fired. So how could they be just blured insects? Debunk that.

  17. chazcov08 :

    A camera with a 1/10,000 shutter speed should be sufficient enough to stop these things in their tracks, and you’d see that they are nothing more than bugs. Cameras slow enough to stop a hummingbird’s wings should suffice.

  18. chazcov08 :

    “what the hell is happening to everyone, can’t they see???”

    Yes, they can see. They can see that people will believe ANYTHING! They are just BUGS. The pattern shows how the wings flap. Close to the body, then out from the body. The images left on film are EXACTLY what you’d expect to see. I can appreciate that people want to believe in some crazy stuff…UFOs, aliens, ESP, God, etc. But this is EASILY debunked, so move onto something with more substance.

  19. oxygenhy :

    science should always be a “pursuit of the truth” rods research should be supported financially by governments—what the hell is happening to everyone, can’t they see??? i am reminded of how the world “looked away” when Hitler was exterminating 6 million+ jews, i am reminded of how the U.S. government ignored the warnings of the 9-11 twin tower attacks…

  20. greeny129 :

    well if anyone is interested these have been caught on the imax cameras – and on a 4000fps shot o tiger woods crystal clear – however to get this footage is v costly – head over to roswellrods for more info on these weird things (i disagree about any ufo mumbo jumbo however do think they’re weird!)

  21. Lindasufos :

    WOW That is cool. Well done for getting this on film. 5 Stars
