A little different game cam thread

[HoggyCat]

I've been getting some odd and some unexplainable images this year. I'll share them as I get them to proper size. Here's the first.

Has anyone else snapped any?

That's cool. I've always been told those were large winged insects flying through and triggering the camera.

"Rods" (sometimes known as "skyfish" or "solar entities") is a term used in cryptozoology, ufology, and outdoor photography to refer to elongated artifacts in the form of light-rods produced by cameras. Videos of rod-shaped objects moving quickly through the air were claimed by some ufologists and cryptozoologists to be alien life forms, "extradimensional" creatures, or very small UFOs. Subsequent experiments showed that these rods appear in film because of an optical illusion/collusion (especially in interlaced video recording),[1] and are typically traces of a flying insect's wingbeats.[2]

Sounds like you have a big bug in the picture.

I have had game  cameras out for years, never seen this before but the last couple of nights I have gotten a few pictures, don't know what to make of them.

I have those on my cams all the time.  They are flying insects that are blurred from flying across too fast for the camera.

I was just told it's a "flying rod". They're rare and extremely fast.
