Rods are said to be flying creatures, from a few centimeters to a meter in length, that are invisible to humans, but visible to cameras, both film and digital, both still and video. Their bodies are shaped like long thin rods, and their only appendages are wavy wings, one on each side, stretching the full length of their bodies. They move through the air by undulating these wings, like long, thin, aerial manta rays.

Subsequent experiments showed that these rods appear in film because of an optical illusion/collusion (especially in interlaced video recording) and are typically traces of a flying insect's wingbeats.
