After more research it turns out that there are a lot of indipendant groups who have come to agree with this explanation.
Also, in 2005 a team of researchers from China claim to of debunked the theory of rods all together when they recorded footage of rods being captured in huge nets only to later find that the only things they had captured were regular insects.
At SPI we always believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinions on every paranormal matter. My personal opinion however is that rods are nothing more then speedy insects. The evidence which explains them with logic and science outweighs the evidence that they exist as either living creatures or a new type of flying saucer.
