OK, I just watched a documentary on the phenomenon of so called 'Rods' - objects caught on film flying at hundreds of miles an hour, varying from only a few inches up to fifty feet in length.

Now, I'd imagine the Merkins here have prolly heard about this one before, but this is all new to me, and the footage I saw on TV tonight has me very interested. I'm quite convinved that there's something wierd going on out there, though I've yet to call them alien spies or anything... What do you think?

Yeah, but those are crappy shots. Some of the stuff I saw on the slow-mo replays had the little buggers zooming around people, and a huge one (estimated at 33 feet) appearing fomr behind a mountain ridge at over six thousand mph...

They can't possibly be beasties, or dead ones would have turned up by now. I also doubt they're beasties subject to different physical laws then ourselves (other dimensional or whatever), but most of all I doubt they're space beasties or alien critters.

Love to know what the lil' feckers are...

Its impossible not to believe in UFOs!! Unless your saying you have super vision and can identify ever flying object in the sky! There is a Huge Difference between an alien spacecraft and a UFO! Sorry but it really makes me angry when people get this wrong.

Whats wrong with UFOs? DO you have to be so ridgid in your classifications and identifiying that every obejct on, under and above the earth is known and fully understud?
Oh... really...
Well then, you better get classifiying!

Ok. Who, here, has seen one of those rods? Looking at those pics, they're everywhere. So everybody should have seen at least one, right?
Oh, and being angry coz people say UFO is... sorry, but retarded. When people say UFO, they obviously think alien ship or something like that. Not being able to understand that, and getting angry because of it, shows a severe problem of narrowmindness (yeah, a neologism! ).

Well, not really. I mean, there may be thousands of instances caught on tape, but there are over six billion people in the world. Do the maths...

I believe these "rods" are small high-tech satellites used by the Illuminati to spy on us. But you didn't hear this from me.
