I have doubts.

Why couldn't that have been a fighter jet?

The move wasn't impossible.

And again, it's a light or white object moving in the sky, NOT an alien being with a technologically advanced vehicle.

My signature comes in handy again

Not really very convincing...

Looks like a whole lot of stuff blowing in the wind to me.

Deff got something here. The seemingly intelligent control is what got me.

I actually caught some of this game.

ND is in a big hole...

Clever answer. This is very true.

I guess a bird is out of the question?

You lost me at Notre Dame.

It's an insect or a small bird. Despite that it looks to be far away from the camera, it is in fact much closer than one would think. The rod phenomena is just another hoax among the many.

And in the case you won't take my word for it, here's a video for comparison.

I'd agree with there to a point. If it is an insect or a small bird then it flies faster than the human eye and brain can process. It exists in this dimension.

So which species is it?

Okay first, how can you not see anyone denying UFO's? There will be deniers even if an Alien lands on the white house lawn and takes a dump in the rose bushes.

That said, I am denying this one.

Yep, It looks like, trash blowing in the wind.Could be birds trying to get out of the storm. Could be electrical charges making their way back up into the clouds....

there are so many logical possibilities, there is no reason to think they are Alien flown spacecraft.

There's no doubt here. Can't see anyone denying this.

There's no denying what?
You must present a hypothesis before an argument can be formulated.

There is no doubt in my mind.
This is a youtube video of people watching the news on television concerning a thunderstorm near a football stadium.

I challenge ANYONE to present evidence that suggests otherwise.

Could easily be a bug of some kind. You can see the interlacing of the video frames is causing the rain droplets to look like long streaks so the unidentified object is being made to look like a line instead of a dot as well.

Yes, I'm sure we can agree on that the insect exists in this dimension.

The video in the OP seems to use a relatively long exposure time, and therefore motion blur will occur. You can see this just by looking at the raindrops falling down in front of the camera, they appear to be longer and brighter than the usual raindrop.

In this video, the insects apparent "rod-like" appearance, is due to this motion blur created by the cameras long exposure time. The lighting effect makes it seem somewhat translucent. It's simply a camera trick. I can't explain it much clearer than that.

I am AMAZED how many people KNOW exactly what this object already is on this forum.. flying rod phenomena is something commonly caught by expensive modern cameras, usually caught by the media and spotted by viewers sitting at home.. i don't have the source and i cba to find it.. but i have seen this so many times in thunder storms (light flying rods).. i recommend OP researches this phenomena to find other videos from storms in other places, i know there was one posted a while back from a storm in japan. OP do something to back up your claim because i know for a fact this is a growing trend in phenomena..
Fact is people.. it is an UFO.. because you all don't really know what it is.. but E.T craft.. were all waiting to see!
