Are flying sticks really insects? Why didn't you find its body?

Does the legend of flying stick monster exist Scientists decrypt all directions.

Its slender body is like a stick, as big as a hundred meters and as small as a few centimeters. It flies fast in the air with a few wings. In the past seven years, people all over the world have taken pictures of it with cameras or camcorders, but no one has ever seen it with the naked eye. This is the "flying stick", a UFO in a mysterious coat.

As more and more "flying stick" photos appear, a global debate has begun. On TV, in newspapers and on the Internet, there is only one focus of debate: Does the "flying stick" exist or not? If it exists, why has it never appeared in kind? If it doesn't exist, what about the "flying stick" photographed in photos and videos?

appear

With the shadow captured in the video, TV producer Isgar Milla announced the discovery of a new species-flying stick. As evidence, he collected a lot of video materials about the flying stick, but never found the entity of the flying stick.

1March, 998 19, Jules, American independent television producer? Isgar Milla came to the place where UFO was filmed four years ago-a small town southeast of Roswell, New Mexico. In order to compare with the previous video, he shot a video in a place where UFOs once appeared. When he returned to the studio and watched the movie, he saw a shadow passing by on the road ahead.

At first he thought it was a bug or a bird, but when he played the video frame by frame, he thought it was "something he had never seen before" Isgar Milla's wife named the flying object "rod" because it is very similar to the rod-shaped microorganisms she saw under the microscope.

Since then, Isgar Milla has announced the discovery of a new species to the public. He said that although it is not certain what kind of creature it is, the video has provided enough evidence. At the same time, he began to collect any information about flying sticks from the public.

This photo taken near a cave in Mexico was regarded by Isgar Milla as the most conclusive evidence of the existence of flying sticks as creatures. The valley is1500m deep and 50m in aperture. The direction of the cave is perpendicular to the ground. There are some skydiving enthusiasts in the valley, Mark? Richie is responsible for filming the beautiful stunts of those athletes. It was there that Li Qi accidentally photographed hundreds of flying sticks.

Isgar Milla said: The video shows that caves are the habitat of flying sticks. In one of the pictures, you can see that the flying stick is deliberately avoiding skydivers and avoiding contact with them, which is extremely important because it shows that the flying stick is intelligent. And it will not attack human beings, nor will it necessarily pose a threat to human beings. In addition, Isgar Milla also said that flying sticks have been found in 28 States in the United States, as well as Canada, Norway, Sweden and Mexico.

Isgar Milla pointed out that the known flying sticks can be divided into three categories: one is an elephant with many wings; The second is "white stick". They don't have that many wings, but they seem to be surrounded by a white belt. There is also a spear flying stick, which is very slender and wingless, but it flies very fast. The colors of flying sticks are yellow, white, reddish brown and dark brown. Its length varies from a few centimeters to several hundred meters. In a photo taken in Maryland, the flying stick's body is covered by a cloud, but its head and tail are exposed, so its length may be between 450 meters and 600 meters.

Since some people think that the flying stick is a creature, why has no one ever seen the immobile flying stick or its body?

For this problem, Isgar Milla explained that flying sticks may be single-celled organisms lighter than air, and they will float to thinner air like hydrogen balloons after death. In addition, flying sticks may also eat the bodies of their companions to obtain valuable life materials.

speed

Among the known insects, the fastest flying moth can reach a top speed of 53.6 kilometers per hour, while the flying stick inferred from the video is more than 240 kilometers, even surpassing the fastest plane on earth.

Isgar Milla also claims that people can see flying sticks with the naked eye. He said, "If you see something flashing in front of you, although many people will think it is a bug, but you can't see anything around you, then you will see a flying stick. They are fast, but they can still be seen. " Isgar Milla also said that in the 1950s, photographer Trevor? Constable photographed the flying stick with infrared technology, and then people accidentally found the flying stick in photos or videos. As early as 1896, people in Croftoville, Indiana, USA saw a 9-meter-long "sky monster" flying in the air for two consecutive days. It flies in the air like a snake. This could also be a flying stick. As a UFO enthusiast, Isgar Milla also quoted many reports that people saw snake-shaped flying objects in ancient times. Isgar Milla also encourages people to observe flying sticks, and once people "eliminate their fears", they can see more real flying sticks.

According to Isgar Milla's guess, the flying speed of the flying stick is as low as 240 kilometers per hour, but in nature, no creature can reach this limit speed. Therefore, some people think that the flying stick is a highly intelligent aircraft from outer space, which can freely avoid obstacles in front without manipulation.

As for the flying speed of the flying stick, Isgar Milla said that although there is no exact figure, from the video, it should be between 240 kilometers per hour and 1600 kilometers. His evidence is that in a video from Norway, the photographer stood on a 900-meter-high seaside cliff to shoot a skydiver, when a flying stick appeared from the left and flew towards the photographer. Its image became bigger and bigger, and finally flew out of the upper right of the screen. Therefore, Isgar Milla thinks that the flying stick flew 900 meters in the 10 frame.

1990, professional photographer Tom took a group of pictures in Sandville, Sweden. These photos were taken by a tank used by the Swedish army, which can fire eight times in three seconds. In the picture, the flying stick flew from one end of the picture to the other before the shell landed. Based on this, Zhu Si speculated that the speed of the flying stick was at least 160 km per hour. Among the known insects, the fastest flying is the moth, with a maximum speed of 53.6 kilometers per hour. And 160 km is three times the speed of moths.

ask about

In most pictures of the flying stick, because the image is blurred, no suitable reference can be found, and the distance between the flying stick and the camera cannot be explained. Without this data, we have to question the amazing flying speed of the flying stick.

So is the flying stick a single-celled organism lighter than air or a highly intelligent aircraft from outer space? Before answering these questions, let's see if all the so-called evidence about flying sticks is reasonable.

First of all, the most striking feature of the flying stick is its amazing speed, which can often fly out of the valley of hundreds of meters or kilometers in just a few seconds. But is hundreds or even thousands of kilometers per hour reasonable?

Because most of the pictures are flying sticks that appear from this end of the picture and disappear from that end, people call the flying sticks that are photographed in the picture flying over a long distance as flying sticks. The flying stick that people see in the picture always flashes by, so it is called flying over several kilometers at high speed. But have people considered the problem of distance?

In the video where the flying stick is faster than the cannonball, the premise is that they are at the same distance from the camera, but there is no evidence to prove this. What if the flying stick only flies a few centimeters in front of the camera? An object flies at the same speed 5 cm and 500 cm in front of the camera, so the running distance seen in the picture should be very different.

In the video of shooting the movement of ground objects, people can calculate the speed of car movement because there are comparable reference objects, such as roads. However, in most pictures of flying sticks, due to the lack of clear images and flying in the air, no suitable reference can be found, so the distance between flying sticks and cameras cannot be explained. Without this important data, we have to question the amazing flying speed of the flying stick.

Similarly, we don't know the distance from the camera and the size of the flying stick.

What is a flying stick? Its discoverer Isgar Milla said that it is a single-celled organism lighter than air. He also said that the size of the flying stick is a few centimeters at the shortest and several hundred meters at the longest. We already know in the biology class of middle school that the largest single-celled organism needs to be observed with a microscope. We have never found a single-celled organism with complex structure and wings like flying sticks. However, all known biological and physical principles can't explain these conditions. For example, as a single-celled organism, it is lighter than air, as small as insects and as large as airplanes, and keeps moving at a high speed of hundreds of miles per hour. Besides, since some people say that the caves in Mexico are the habitat of flying sticks, why has no one ever tried to catch one in this cave where hundreds of flying sticks flew in and out, or found a body, which became a sensational discovery in the world?

After discovering the flying stick for the first time, Isgar Milla also stated in 1998 that according to the unique shape of the flying stick, he has begun to make a model of the flying stick by using the wave film theory, so as to completely dispel people's doubts. But seven years later, he hasn't come up with any model that can fly in the air.

distinguish the true from the false

For wasps and other insects, the short exposure time of the camera is enough for them to flap their wings several times and fly a certain distance, so the images taken by the camera are also their trajectories.

To find the real body of the flying stick, we have to go back to the "initiator"-the camera. Everyone knows that what they see is not necessarily true, so will the images processed by cameras and video cameras be the same as the real images? Will the appearance of flying stick be related to the characteristics of camera imaging?

We may be explained by the photos taken by an American photographer in the suburbs in 2003. When he looked at a group of photos taken with a digital camera, he was surprised to find yellow-brown flying sticks everywhere. Each one has a slender trunk, the length of which is equivalent to the length of leaves, and five pairs of wings are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the body. These creatures are flying around in the sun, but the photographer doesn't remember seeing anything like it. But when he saw all the photos he had taken, the answer was revealed. In the close-up, a wasp was frozen in mid-air, but it still left a track that it had just flown behind, and its body drew two long straight lines, and its flapping wings also left several traces.

Why do flying wasps take the shape of flying sticks? The reason lies in the characteristics of the camera. In fact, no matter the photos taken by the camera or the pictures recorded by the camera, they are all recording images at a certain time period.

For example, the shutter speed of the camera, that is, the exposure time is adjusted to 1/45 seconds, which means that everything that happened in 1/45 seconds was photographed. We know that professional photographers will deliberately extend the exposure time in order to shoot beautiful city night scenes, for example, 10 second, so that we can see the beautiful lines drawn by the headlights of driving vehicles within 10 second. In fact, you can get a similar effect with an ordinary camera. Anyone who has photographed the night scene will have this experience. Even if there is only a slight jitter, the light source in the dark background will draw long lines. This is actually the trajectory of camera jitter.

1/45 seconds is too short for us, but for a wasp flapping its wings at high speed, this time is enough for it to flap its wings five times and fly a certain distance. So the image captured by the camera is also the trajectory of its movement. In this way, as long as the exposure time of the camera is adjusted short enough, the real body of the flying stick will also appear. When the exposure time is adjusted to11000 seconds or even shorter, we can clearly see that wasps or moths are frozen in the air.

The same is true for cameras. Most cameras shoot 25 to 30 frames per second, and each frame of image is shot at a certain shutter speed, the most commonly used is 1/50 or 1/60 seconds.

That is to say, if a camera shoots at the speed of1/60s per frame, then every second, the camera shoots 25 moments of an object with1/60s, and at the same time, there are 25 blank spaces, about1/40s. If the subject is a point-like object, such as raindrops, then the trajectory left by it on the video at high speed should be a line. If it is an insect, the record is naturally a straight line or arc drawn by the insect body within 1/60 seconds, plus the wavy or multi-wing trajectory left by the flapping of wings.

Conversely, we can also prove that the flying stick photographed is not a rod-shaped winged creature. If the flying stick is a multi-wing entity described by Isgar Milla, according to the photos, it hardly moves during the exposure time of 1/60 seconds, otherwise it is impossible to leave such an image. The only way to make it move at a high speed of at least 160 km/h is to fly step by step at a fixed speed of 25 times per second. At the same time, it must observe the opening and closing time of the camera shutter. The camera

So why do flying sticks have all kinds of forms that Isgar Milla said? The answer is naturally that different kinds of flying creatures, such as wasps, moths and dragonflies, have different wing shapes and flapping frequencies, and the exposure time is long or short, leaving a very different flight path. But what they have in common is like a stick with appendages. Because the flight speed is very fast, and it is difficult to distinguish the distance in the air, it has become a speed monster.

As for Isgar Milla's saying that human beings can see flying sticks with the naked eye, why didn't there ever be flying sticks before the camera appeared? It may be insects or birds that fly over people's sight. Because of its small size and extremely irregular trajectory, people can't see it in most cases if they look for it again. Moreover, because the human eye's perception of images is continuous, it is impossible for anyone to see the insects in the shape of rod-shaped flying objects when flying with the naked eye.

In addition, flying sticks appear most often in videos and also in a few photos. Photographers have more opportunities to catch flying sticks than cameras when recording for a long time. In addition, the exposure time of ordinary cameras is shorter than that of photographers, so flying sticks often appear in the exposure interval of1/60s-116s. As far as flying sticks are concerned, most insects in motion can not only avoid obstacles, but also avoid the flapping of people as flexibly as mosquitoes.

It is for these reasons that the bodies of static flying sticks or flying sticks have never been found, because their real bodies are just ordinary insects or birds. Once they stop, the mysterious coat will cease to exist. Like a mirage in nature, it is an optical illusion created by human beings themselves.

In nature, it is inevitable that there are phenomena that we have not yet discovered or can't explain. Einstein once said that imagination is more important than knowledge. But any conjecture needs to be verified with a rigorous scientific attitude, not with whimsy as a conclusion.

Isgar Milla claims to be a "professional and prestigious" documentary photographer. It is impossible for him to come up with the so-called single-cell unknown biological theory without even knowing the principle of camera shooting, which is a bit grandstanding. Isgar Milla encouraged people to "fish in the air" on his website and sent him a video of flying sticks, but said nothing about key requirements such as shutter speed when shooting.

The collected images of flying sticks were published on the internet without any screening, saying that this is another great evidence of the existence of flying sticks. Aside from scientific rigor, the purpose behind this practice itself is very doubtful.

Also on the Internet, flying sticks have a great influence as an anecdote, and many Chinese and English websites regard themselves as pioneers in displaying this mysterious phenomenon. It is undeniable that the strange flying stick at first glance greatly satisfies everyone's curiosity, but the problem is that when doubt can be explained by a scientific theory that is not profound, deliberately keeping its mysterious coat is suspected of bad motives.

The rise of the flying stick monster theory is undoubtedly a typical example of the formation of many mysticism. One of the characteristics of these mysticism is that as long as it is difficult or unexplained with existing knowledge and experience, it is called the masterpiece of aliens or unknown life. For example, UFO refers to any unidentified flying object. It may be a bug, a cloud, a balloon or an airplane, but it is shared by many people.

Draw an equal sign on the flying saucer. Driven by Hollywood science fiction movies, aliens with big heads and green skins have officially become a natural member of human society. Such images have little to do with science, and are made purely to satisfy curiosity. Most serious scientists ignore many mysterious theories because science needs valid evidence. This is why while the scientific community is still debating whether the rods in Martian meteorites are microbial fossils, mysterious theorists are announcing the time and place for Martians to visit humans next time.

But it turns out that the main characters in some "flying sticks" photos are just insects. Can it be said that flying sticks or creatures like flying sticks do not exist? That's not necessarily true. The existence of human beings on the earth is only a blink of an eye in natural history, and it is normal to have some unexplained phenomena or creatures that have not been discovered so far. Einstein once said that imagination is more important than knowledge.

Bold imagination and speculation are necessary, but it is taboo and irresponsible for researchers to draw conclusions with whimsy before there is any scientific conclusive evidence.

In this world, flying sticks or objects like flying sticks may not exist at all; Maybe, but it hasn't been discovered yet. If one day, people discover its entity or prove its existence with scientific theory, we can say that there are flying sticks in this world.
