Could this be a Mysterious Flying Rod?

Also known as Skyfish is a flying organism, flying at speeds up to 1000miles/hour. This speed made skyfish undetectable to the naked human eyes.

They only found out there's this thing in 1994, when some cliff jumpers with parachutes jumped down and filmed their jump. While the jumpers are descending, they still didn't see anything, but when they viewed their film later, they found that there are many white flying things, which they didn't see during their jump

They are just bugs.

Edit-Okay I watched the first video and that is just hilarious. Even that thing looks like a couple dragon flies glued together.

Moved to a more appropriate forum - as amazing as these insects are, they are not in any way a cryptid.

Lol, thats just a load of daddy long legs superglued together.

There is no mystery at all about these rods. I caught one on camera in Ireland, it was an insect that had been caught by a swallow, I took the picture just before it was caught, its simply an effect you get from a small winged inset. Even a bee can look like a rod.

The insect shown is a fake.

Rods are in fact just regular insects, usually moths or fly, they do not fly at 1000 mph and they are not mysterious.

[edit] Flying Rod mystery solved

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 then captured images of 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.
