So after spending two straight days at my computer trying to find a video that shows something similar to what I saw a couple of months ago, I am somewhat satisfied. What I'm tallking about is the eel-like thing I saw flying down my street & then up into a neighbor's tree scaring the birds.

I actually considered that it could have been a rod already, but what stopped me from commiting to the rod theory was the speed in which it moved. Rods generally move pretty fast, & the thing I saw moved fast but not exceedingly fast.Also the other reason was that I always thought all rods to have the typical rod shaped body, where as the rod in this specific timeframe of the video seems to have more of an oval base/body, which is closer to what I saw. But tonight I figured what the hell & decided to look it up anyway. Now I feel like a complete idiot for not looking here first. In the video in this link you will see various rods but I want you to focus particularly on the rod at the time of 3:22 & again in slow-mo at 3:27. I can't say that 'this' was exactly what I saw that afternoon, but I can say that if I had to bet money on it being 'this' as opposed to anything already known to man in our animal kingdom, I would go w/'this' every day of the week & twice on Sundays!

Now for the differences. First thing first, what I saw was longer than the rod in question. I would say at leasst double the length, if not tripple. It's hard to tell because I can't really get a dead-on judgement of how big this rod in the video actually is. But to just put a point on what I saw I would say it was about 2-3 feet in length.

Next as I said earlier, the creature I saw didn't move as fast as a typical rod, but it did move rappidly. Let's just say it wasn't exactly doddeling along, I can almost be sure that it didn't want to be seen.

Now couple those two reasons with how low it was flying, which was about 4-5 feet off the sidewalk & that is why I disreguarded rods in the first place. But the one thing that I couldn't get over was the movement! Both the thing I saw & the Rod in this video have the exact same movement!!! A wavey type of flowing movement.

Now take that & add it to the same body shape & we're getting somewhere. The thing that I saw didn't really seem to have a body of gerth. Much in the same way a centipede is long & slender. Only this creature seemed to have almost an ovall shape but longer, stretched in a way. It very much resembles the rod in this video, just think 'longer' & 'slower'.

Even considering the differences, I still have to weigh the similarities, & that being done I'm left with nothing but the simplest answer. Musta been a rod!!! Or at least some species similar to a rod. All I know is that it definately wasn't anything that I've ever seen before in my whole 32...oops 33 years of life on this planet. And just when I thopught I had finally put it out of my mind, I see a strange orb/ball of light a couple of nights ago & presto I'm obsessing over the wavey creature again!!! Only this time I have at least found something to use as a point of refference when trying to describe it. Check it out for yourself, tell me if you have ever seen anything like this flying around before!

Remember pay close attention to timestamps 3:22 & 3:27.
