Rod sighting

Most of you have probably heard of those rod things which move too fast for the human eye to see but are caught on camera but have any of you ever seen them?
The other day I saw something that was either a rod or a ghost or something that moves way to fast and slick to be any animal or insect known to science.
I was going up on the escalator in the subway station when I noticed some black thing shooting down from the top of the escalator right down into the subway station. At first I thought it was a big insect or a piece of paper flying in the wind but after I thought about it for a second I realized it was flying way to fast to be an insect or piece of paper and seeing as it flew in a perfect straight line with a slight curve as it went into the station there was no way it could have been something flying in the wind. It was flying in the direction of the wind though. At the top of the escalator were glass doors which turn and let it huge blasts of wind when people are coming in.
My only explanation is it was either one of those rod things or it was a ghost. In about a second flat it shot from the top of the escalator to the bottom. It was only because I happened to be looking in that direction in a daze that I happened to notice it. I looked around to see if anybody else saw it but nobody was looking in the same direction. What it looked like was a small black shadow shooting by. When you see an insect flying by it looks like a tiny black or gray shadow so whatever this thing was it was alot bigger than any fly or bee and flew way to fast to be either of the two.
This thing definately wasnt one of those flashes or hallucinations you get in the corner of your eye sometimes because once I noticed it I followed it with my eyes and it only went out of my view when it flew to the bottom of the escalator and into the station.
I have no idea what the hell this thing was but I thought id share it with the rest of you.

I opened this thread thinking it was about Rod Stewart.
Never heard of these things. What do they do?

In the early autumn of 2005, news bulletins in China and Hong Kong reported on a story which debunked the flying rods. Surveillance cameras in a research facility in Jilin supposedly captured video footage of flying rods identical to those shown in Jose Escamilla's video. The curious research staff of the facility, being scientists, decided that they would attempt to catch one. Huge nets were set up and the same surveillance cameras captured rods flying into the trap. When the nets were inspected, the "rods" were no more than regular moths and other flying insects. Subsequent investigations proved that the appearance of flying rods on video was an optical illusion created by the slower recording speed of the camera (done to save video space).
This discovery has, however, been quietly ignored by those in the business of "researching" the flying rod phenomenon, as their wealth and fame could obviously be shattered with such a revelation. The myth is thus allowed to persist.
