6,700 mi/hr

Lately, my companions and I had a quite serious discussion.

What is your opinion about rods?

Rods, like in the shape of a bacillus or a fishing rod? or Roads, where I drive my car to work everyday? or something else very fast that can go to 6700 miles per hour????

The last one you asked here: something else that can go to 6700 miles per hour called rods. Just lately they were again televised in one of the primetime TV programs here. A Korean national was able to caught them up in his camera.
They were somewhat insect-like or some claims that it is another species of insect never been discovered yet; with somewhat circling wings that propell so fast, and so making them move with such great speed.

Sounds like somebody needs to buy a "fake-o-meter".

[mcar]

However, the existence of these strange things are still on the doubt.

[alextemplet]

Sounds highly doubtful to me.

Wow, that is twice as fast as a cruise missle.

[Draco]

The only thing that I've even heard about that can go that fast is a plane that, was last I heard, under development.

However, those who were able to analyze these organisms are really assuming that they are probably new species of insects or possibly extraterrestrial ones!

What's kind of protein that supports this high speed and still keeps activity under the high temperature produced by this high speed movement?
What's kind of structure of body that endures the inertia and impact caused by this high speed?
What's kind of nervous system that controls its body to move flexibly in this high speed?
Think about Cicindela beetles which keep the highest relative velocity record in creatures.

Afterall, if such creatures, unidentified as they may seem, or another form of organism not related to any earth-kind, as my companion says--"it really scares me alot".
