Helirods - Otherworldly beings in our midst
A realm of contact for the incredibly few
Otherworldly beings in our skies
| The strange objects accompanying a helicopter shown on this homepage of are presumed to be "rods". I have also heard the term "feathers". These objects were captured, quite by accident, on three frames of B&W 35mm, 400ASA film one day in August or September, 1997. I did not scan these photos until several years later. The term "helirods" merely comes from the filename that I created from the scans of the photos. helicopter + rods = helirods The camera was of the typical 35mm variety, with manual advance. The photos were snapped about five seconds apart, or so. I will never know for sure. The lens was a rather inexpensive zoom lens. I am not a professional photographer, but a somewhat reasonably well versed amateur. The photos were taken in Fairview Heights, Illinois (very near to St. Louis, Missouri). The film was not developed until a few months later in December, 1997. At that time I had not even heard of rods and thought the objects in the photos were just some weird anomaly, so I set them aside and simply ignored them for a time. But, the rods were not on any of the other photos on that filmstrip; It was used primarily for black and white natural light photos of my now long gone cats. Of course, I am calling these anomalies "rods", but that is for lack of a better term. I have been told that they may be close second cousin of rods. Whatever the case may be this is just one in host of phenomena I have imaged over the years. |
The 3rd and final of the set of three "helirods" photos
| It would be later in 1998 that I would first hear about rods on the Coast to Coast AM radio show (with Art Bell at the time). It was then that his guest, Jose Escamilla, revealed the existence of rods and he had produced some videos on the subject. For those who would have the interest, here is his website: http://www.roswellrods.com/pre.html The photo shown here is the third and final photo of the "helirods". There is an inset at the lower right pasted-in showing an enlargement of a rod that is near to the ground. There are other tighter scans and enlargements shown on the photo gallery page. Rods are now merely one aspect of an entire range of things I have captured since these photos were taken in 1997. |
Further explanation of these photos By the time the third photo was taken, the helicopter was too far away to be meaningful...but, take a look at the rods! Are they playing to the camera lens? In my effort at enhancement you will see that I circled the rods in the last photo. Near the bottom right corner of this photo is a rod very near to the ground. The inset is a tighter scan of this particular rod and this gives a hint as to the size of the rods. Frankly, the whole reason for the photographs was that I thought I might try to get the tail number of the helicopter. I was quite irritated at the noise it was making (this was very near to my house). Of course, I did not even come remotely close. I forgot about the incident and did not bother with having the film developed clear until a few months later (December, 1997). I was baffled when I first saw them! It would still be a few months before I would come to hear about rods. I would suggest that these are some form of intelligent beings that seem to know when, and when not, they will appear on film. Could they possibly be some form of "angelic" beings? Just a thought. In recent years, I have come to suspect that there is an entire range of "angelic" types of beings, most of which are etheric in nature. This would be a long discussion by itself.
Over the past few years I have noticed on various paranormal websites that MANY people have been taking photos that have something inexplicable in them that would only be apparent after the photo was developed (or downloaded in the case of digital photos) the imaged phenomena was otherwise not visible to the naked eye. In my opinion, this is not happening by accident!
The skewing that you see in that last photo is due to the inexpensive zoom lens I was using. Upon close inspection you will notice the building on the lower right appears to be "bent" inward toward the center, along with the tall sign on the left also being bent inward toward the center of the photograph. (Yes, I know that problem can be compensated for, but the heck with it).
