Hey, did a bit of research and apparently they're "rods" and are a hot item in the alternative everything crowd! Small creatures are invisible to the eye!
Look familiar?
There's even an episode on history channel about it!

For decades, cameras have been capturing images of a flying, torpedo-like creature so fast it cannot be seen with the naked eye. Some think it is a military weapon; others believe it may be a creature from another dimension known as "Rods." Super high-speed photography, physics and even a wind tunnel experiment will be used to shed light on what these images are. One-part history, one-part science and one part monster, discover the truth behind legendary monsters.

Apparently they do a setup where they film a "rod" with a normal camera and a super high speed one, and of course it looks convincing in one and looks like a bug in the other.
Cool.
