Skyfish: Russia

Skyfish caught on tape in Russia 1

These strange, fast moving things in the air these day from time to time appear in media. It has been said that they were caught on film for the first time 10 years ago and since then many more films and tapes of “skyfish” are available. Some say “This may very well be the single greatest biological discovery of our age”. And it seems they live in Russia too.

      Смотрит очень подобно к штангам были сняты в южной америке

        Don’t use a translating program, please. The result is awful. No Russian (or any one else) could understand your comment.

        • Guav says:

          I took what he posted and used a translator to convert it to English and it made perfect sense even after being translated twice:

          “It looks are very are similarly to the rods of byli taken in South America”

          :)

          • Alex_AW says:

            I’ve done the same. Here is my exercisers :

            a. Looks very like to the barbells were taken off in south amerike

            b. Looks very much similarly to to bars have been removed in southern America

            I’m afraid the sense isn’t perfect enough for my weak brain to understand.

      just a bug on the lens….

      could be a fake. i think you need a really high speed camera to capture one on screen and that’s if you’re lucky enough to aim it at one. if these things can be caught by a regular security camera, i think we would be able to see it with our naked eye.

      You can find out more about them by googling ‘roswell rods’

    5. asdf says:

      Hahaha :) These are usual bugs or mosquitos flying in the low-light conditions. Don’t believe any bullshit about any aliens or devices called rods that float around in an Internet shit ocean.

      If you know a smallest bit about photography then you know why flying bugs look like these on pictures taken with low- or medium-quality hardware.

      I can explain:
      To take ANY picture (both photo and video) you have two main parameters: exposure and aperture. When you take picture in a low light condition you must have a longer exposure (1/30, 1/15, 1/8, 1/4 sec etc). If there are moving objects on the picture then they will have “tails” because they moved from one place to another during this period of time. Think of pictures about fast moving cars.

      So if usual mosquito flies from left to right and makes 50 hits per second and you take picture of him with exposure 1/15 sec then you will get on a picture a long mosquito with 3-4 pairs of wings (50/15=3,xx) because that’s how many times they were able to move their wings up and down during this small period.

      You can take this lesson the other way: you took some digital photos next to the fireplace and found these things with “many wings” on your photos although you don’t remember seeing them. You take an exposure value from EXIF-data of your picture, count pairs of wings on a picture and get an answer to the question “how many hits this or that bug made in one second”.

      This is exactly how scientsist can tell you how many hits per second can usual fly or mosquito or a hummingbird do.

      • Don’t forget also that fluorescent (and many other) bulbs flicker at 50 (in Russia) or 60 (in N. America) Hz. So, if the camera shoots 16 frames per second and a big moth is flying across the field of view, in any given frame it will appear as a 6-winged creature (more or less). It’s like opening your shutter and then firing your flash three times in a row.

        • exactly. makes perfect sense. that and some insects lock in flight during mating so that makes up to 12 winged or more insects possible depending on conditions…

        • Trevor says:

          Conventional fluorescent tubes flicker at twice the mains frequency: 100Hz flicker in Europe (inc Russia) and most of the rest of the world; 120Hz in the USA (now that Edison’s idiotic DC supply system is extinct). Draw a graph of voltage against time for AC mains and you’ll see why flicker is at twice the mains frequency.

          Compact fluorescents with electronic starters tend to have high frequency inverters, giving flicker at tens of kilohertz. This apparently produces ultrasound at various harmonic frequencies which can sometimes disturb dogs and cats.

          Rowland.

          • Good point, the sine wave crosses zero twice in each cycle. So it’s a 100 Hz, not 50. Given that I pulled number of frames figure out of my ass, makes no difference whatsoever.

      It is airborn bugs and stuff

      Everybody knows that!

      Or it could be the curse of janet jacksons former penis from a former life, and it is floting about the air.

      Id go with the airborn bugs

      I read about these 10 years ago, and this is the first time I’ve heard about them since then. Still skeptical.

    8. On 8th and 9th August 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. ([3]) 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 captured 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.

      They are very delicious served with white wine and asparagus, somewhere I have a recipe for a particular white sauce with mushrooms I use with the fillets.

      You can catch them using a bait of one hard boiled griffin’s egg, attached to a hook suspended in air. It is important that you release the younger ones (shorter than 15cm) so that they can mature and spawn. Also, gravid females should be released (although the skyfish roe is quite delicious, comparable to the best caspian beluga caviar).

      I have a skyfish in my pants, better described as “an alien rod.”

      Look, it moves!

      I would have guessed they were dragonflies, but the irregular flight pattern of moths makes sense to me.

      they are insects, like said, an america has filmed for example wasps and beas (for high numbers of possible hits) with exactly the same result…
