Are they unknown insects, camera tricks, hi-tech craft or inter-dimensional beings. My personal view on this is that they are a previously unknown insect. These have been categorized together with objects ranging in size from a foot to hundreds of feet long. The objects I believe are insects are the small ones. I do not believe they are related to the large objects seen darting through the sky. It is also true that known insects can appear to look like rods when close enough to the camera or when shutter speeds or light conditions are right. I think the bigger mystery is why are we just noticing these things. Camcorders have been around for a long time now. Perhaps these creatures were somehow left behind by aliens and are now multiplying. This is theory believed to be a possibility about the Chupacabra as well. Could they have slipped through a doorway from a parallel universe? To many, some of these possibilities may seem absurd. I like to keep an open mind and believe that almost anything is possible. Our civilization is far too young to know much about the universe.
