This Week: Air Rods and Sky Serpents Have you ever seen something weird in the sky, and then later decided you had seen a horrible beastie? Do you look at large flocks of birds and worry that an aerial serpent was coming to kill you? Do you ever want to just make up some wild bullshit about monsters because an insect got in the way of your perfect photo of the sky?
