About flying sticks.

"RODS", a mysterious object, comes and goes without a trace in people's eyes. It is an insect, but it has a flying speed of 16 kilometers per hour; It is said to be an aircraft, but it has flapping wings and amazing intelligence ...

"flying stick", a UFO-like UFO, has recently been "exposed" in major websites and media all over the world, becoming a hot topic for UFO fans.

Is "flying stick" really that mysterious? In fact, everyone can shoot the "flying stick".

The mystery of the flying stick

Before uncovering the mystery of the flying stick, let's review the causes of the mystery of the flying stick.

As early as 1994, American independent television producer Jules Isgar Milla filmed a 16-minute film just south of Roswell, New Mexico, which happened to be the place where UFOs were first discovered in the world.

On the videotape, Jules found something unusual flying across the sky. At first, Zhu Si thought it might be a bird, but as he replayed the film over and over again, he began to doubt his idea. From the appearance, these things found by Zhu Si are very close to the objects photographed by Zhang Hebin and Wang Lin later. They are cylindrical objects and fly very fast. Because this object is shaped like a stick, Zhu Si named it "flying stick".

Zhu Si said that at first I thought it was a bird or a bug, because there were many birds and flying insects flying around.

In order to prove his point of view, Zhu Si began to ask for advice from scientists, who could not come up with any further explanation for this object. Although some scientists can't explain what kind of flying stick is, people can't rule out that flying stick is an unknown insect.

Jules didn't give up. He published his findings in the hope of attracting people's attention. Since then, Zhu Si has received videos from all over the world, which were shot by some UFO enthusiasts. After careful induction and analysis, Zhu Si and others found that the flying stick is almost everywhere, whether it is the sky, the sea or the trees, it has appeared indoors; In addition, the flying stick, a cylindrical object, varies greatly in length. From the pictures taken in various places, its length ranges from 1 cm to more than 3 meters.

In p>1994, Jules received a video from Mexico, which can be said to be a classic shot of flying sticks. The scene was shot in a valley in Mexico. This valley is 15 meters deep, and the hole diameter is 5 meters. The direction of the cave is perpendicular to the ground, and the hole is relatively narrow, and the deeper it goes, the wider it becomes. This is a very special geological phenomenon. Because there are many swallows living in this valley, people also call it Swallow Valley. Every year, some skydiving enthusiasts gather in this valley, and Mark Rich is responsible for photographing the beautiful stunts of those athletes. It was there that he also photographed the flying stick.

Like any photographer who photographed a flying stick, Mark didn't believe that he could photograph a mysterious species at first, but when he browsed all his pictures, he realized that it was impossible for him not to believe. "Later, I photographed them many times. What are they? "

Through the pictures taken by Mark, we can clearly distinguish the difference between flying sticks, swallows and insects. In one of the pictures, we can see that the flying stick is deliberately avoiding the parachutists and avoiding contact with them, which is extremely important because it shows that the flying stick is intelligent.

If the flying stick is a kind of creature in nature, why hasn't anyone found its living body or corpse so far? In addition, the flying stick can fly at a speed as high as 16 kilometers per hour, which no creature in nature can achieve. If this creature really exists in nature, why didn't we find any records about flying sticks in film and photos?

If the flying stick is a kind of flying machine, it can freely avoid the obstacles in front without being manipulated, how will this be explained? Of all the aircrafts invented by human beings, there has never been such a small aircraft with such high intelligence.

what are they? Could it be a highly intelligent aircraft from outer space? So far, no one can give a convincing explanation to the flying stick.

Because the camera equipment itself takes images slowly, they can't actually reflect the captured images faithfully, so this kind of optical illusion will appear. If you add a telephoto lens to take a long shot, the flying stick may become bigger.

Compared with the camera equipment, people's eyes are more sensitive, so in our eyes, those are just ordinary flying insects.

But in relatively insensitive equipment, At the same time, it also explains why people can't see the flying stick.

Cracking evidence 1: Practice

A, capturing the multi-winged "flying stick" at a speed of 1/45 second

B, shooting the "flying stick" with Hou Lian synchronous flash, and its maker-bee. The "flying stick" was shot in 1/45 second. At the end of the shooting, the flash solidified the true shape of the bee in about 1/1 second.

This proves that flying insects (bees) can be exposed to flying stick-like objects at a slow shutter speed, and it is also known that bees can flap their wings six times in 1/45 second.

Cracking Evidence 2: Inference

You can see the "flying stick" in each frame of the picture, and there is almost no overlap with each other. According to the screen display, the aperture when shooting is 2.8, with automatic white balance, zero gain and 1/6th second shutter.

first of all, understand the knowledge of shooting: the camera shoots at 25 frames per second, and each frame of image is shot at a certain shutter speed, the most commonly used one should be 1/5 or 1/6 seconds. That is to say, if a camera shoots at the speed of 1/6th of a second per frame, then in every second, the camera shoots 25 1/6th moments of an object, and there are also 25 blank spaces that are not photographed for about 1/4th of a second. Let's assume that if it is a point object, the trajectory left on the camera when it runs at high speed should be a line (the trajectory moving about 1/6th second) and a space (the distance moving about 1/4th second). We can find the trajectory of table tennis from every frame of the World Table Tennis Championships video. Table tennis has been shot into a long strip, and after a little distance, another strip appears, which is the wingless "flying stick".

look at the winged "flying stick" again. First of all, according to the composite photos, it can be analyzed that the distance between the two flying sticks is about one flying stick, that is to say, the flying stick flies about one flying stick in the 1/4th second camera space, so it can be inferred that how far should it move in the 1/6th exposure time? There are only two conclusions:

A. If the "flying stick" is a multi-winged entity, according to the photos, it has hardly moved during 1/6 of the exposure time, which means that the "flying stick" can only run in such a way: it can fly step by step 25 times per second, and it can also sense the opening/closing time of the camera shutter, and stop moving or move slowly when the camera shutter is opened.

B, during the exposure time of 1/6th second, a small flying insect fluttered its wings twice and drew a trajectory, and its flying speed was almost uniform. If a is established, then there is reason to believe that the camera and the "flying stick" are accomplices.

So conclusion B is the only reasonable explanation of "flying stick". Therefore, it is recommended that friends who have photographed the "flying stick" check the shutter speed at that time. By the way, how did you decide that the person who thought he shot the "flying stick" solidified a high-speed lens in 1/6 second? This is also a problem that is ignored by most "flying stick" enthusiasts.

Looking back at all the pictures of "flying stick", especially every frame of the video, you will find that they are in line with the characteristics of ping-pong trajectory, and the generation of "flying stick" wings can also be seen in an animation (which can be seen on the website nature-eye.com).

Cracking Evidence 3: Explanations

Now explain the ten characteristics of the summarized flying stick one by one:

1. Never seen by the naked eye. There are several possibilities that can't be seen by the naked eye, such as: invisible light-infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, extremely high-speed operation, full transparency, etc., but everyone ignores another possibility, that is, what they see is different from what they have photographed. The human eye can quickly track the flight of objects, and the perception of images is continuous, unlike the camera shooting frame by frame, so the human eye can accurately feel the flying bugs, while the camera shooting may be "flying sticks" and "wingless flying sticks".

2. It appears in a large number of movies and a small number of photos. Movies can only be seen when they are played frame by frame or at a very slow speed. The shooting of "flying stick" needs to be "bumped", so the chances of being "bumped" in film and television are much more than those in photos. In addition, because the general "flying stick" is counted by frames, it is difficult for human eyes to see it clearly when it is normally played on the screen. When playing frame by frame, the "flying stick" appears. In fact, as long as it is played normally, the "flying stick" gives people the feeling of being a bug!

3. Flying at a high speed. It is said that some people have calculated that the flying stick can reach 16 km/h to 1, km/h. For something that has never been seen by the naked eye and how far it is from the lens, how can we count the speed calculated only according to the number of frames taken-a time parameter? So if I shoot a bird and pass the moon and stop in a tree, can I calculate the speed of the bird flying from the moon to the earth?

4. It is intelligent and can avoid obstacles in flight. Insects or birds will certainly avoid obstacles.

5. There are two forms, symmetrical wing "flying stick" and asymmetrical wing "flying stick", and the number of wings is constantly changing from two pairs to countless pairs. If the side of the bug is photographed, it is an asymmetric wing-type "flying stick". If the back or abdomen is photographed, a symmetrical wing-type "flying stick" can appear. With different exposure time or different flapping frequency of the bug, flying sticks with different pairs of wings can be photographed.

6. There is no really clear photo or picture, no image shows that the object has eyes and claws, and no one can see its wings and skin texture. How is it possible to ask a moving track photo to have a texture?

7. The world is everywhere. Insects and birds are of course everywhere.

8. No living body or corpse has ever been found. Insects and birds can't be photographed as "flying sticks" after they die.

9. There is no doubt about the authenticity of photos and single-frame pictures. All the photos and videos are true, but is "an image without forgery is a completely true image"? This is the joke that cameras and cameras play on people. The same real image is the "fire stick"-the trajectory of car lights, and everyone should see more.

1. Never been followed. If it is followed, it will be a bug or a bird. Only when it passes through the lens can it be a "flying stick".
