Air Rods or Sky Fish
Pretty hard to tell what these things are. You can’t see them with the naked eye because they only appear on cameras. One could think they’re invisible, but there is probably more to them. Still, they are fairly interesting considering many do admit that they actually exist.
Studying videos and a few photographs show the Air Rods to be cylinders ranging from 4 inches to 3 feet long. They have no clear head, so you can’t tell the front from the back. Not when they’re zipping around at least, which is the only way you see them. Multiple pairs of either fins, wings, or limbs can be seen along their bodies too. They come up as streaking and squirming 3-dimensional creatures. The 3D part is important because it brings more credence to their existence.
Another aspect of the Air Rods is their behavior. They do not pass through objects like a ghost. Instead, they go around. Some sightings show them following people or animals either solitary or in a group. They may even circle the target who has no idea they are around and does not get harmed. Videos show they can move in groups and might be playing tag in the air. Either way, they appear to have some level of sentience and activity instead of being nothing more than mindless optical illusions.
So, what are they?
Clearly, they’re aliens that escaped from Roswell, New Mexico and have spread across the world. They stay hidden from view, but their technology doesn’t allow them to hide from the cameras that began getting used in the 1990’s. I mean, they crashed here so long ago that what was advanced before has been left behind by us. We might have even adapted their technology to create what we’re using now and improve on it. That makes sense, right?
Being more serious, Air Rods are thought to be (and possibly proven to be) nothing more than insects. These bugs move so fast that they leave motion blur in the video, which will hide their true form. It can also happen with birds, but it’s usually bugs. For example, moths darting around at night will be caught by surveillance cameras that only pick them up as streaks of light. The strange appendages that one might think are fins are created by the animal’s wings moving so quickly. So, it could all be an optical illusion . . . Or that’s what the aliens want you to believe.

Looking at that picture I thought they were water drops on weeping willow branches! The insect explanation resonates!

I can see the water on branches now. Tricks of light and cameras are always interesting.

We get to see these on our TV station weather camera. Glad to know they are insects. (maybe)

Alien insects? Either way, flyswatter would help.

Interesting. I’ve not come across these things before. I prefer the aliens escaped from Roswell to the insects zipping around.
I took a photo in Scotland in which a mosquito was clearly shown, but it was in daylight. (There were so many we beat a hasty retreat.)

Looking again, closely, I can see what might be moths.

I’d retreat from mosquitos too. Hate when they swarm. Poor Roswell is always losing their aliens. Terrible security there.

You’re right, an optical illusion of insects is the most likely thing. That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with them in a story, though.

True. The alien story is more interesting. Also, the insect one sounds like a cover for aliens.
