Skyfish: new lifeforms?

Skyfish: new lifeforms?

By Gemma Brittle

You’re going to love this. A report in the Null’s favourite Russian newspaper Pravda says that more recordings have been captured of airborne fish-like creatures ranging from just a couple of inches to hundreds of feet in length. These piscine peculiarities fly around in the air around us and yet we never see or feel their presence.

For now they have been named skyfish, but often are referred to as solar entities or rods. They were first caught on film by a film director Jose Escamilla in 1994, when trying to capture a UFO. His suspicions of their being UFOs themselves was dampened when he realised that they were actually creatures moving at unusually high speeds. Analysis of videos of the ‘fish’ from around the world indicates that they could be travelling at speeds ranging from 150 – 1000 mph: faster than the speed of sound!

As they travel so fast, it is almost impossible to catch one with the present technology. It was once claimed by a correspondent of Jose Escamilla that he caught one and kept it in a jar, but on coming back to it it had dissolved into a gel-like substance that quickly evaporated.



Further investigations have unveiled that are multiplying at faster rates as a result of global warming, are not necessarily even living creatures and they are very poisonous during the fall season! Skyfish have also been found to be comfortable either in water or on land. It remains unknown as to where they come from and exactly what they are but the Japanese are working on it!

Here’s an absolutely convincing US news report about the little blighters.

Capturing a skyfish

Getting your own images of skyfish is easy. Set up a video camera on a tripod on its maximum telephoto setting, aimed towards but not at the sum for about 15 – 30 minutes. Playback the recording in slow motion and if you’re lucky enough, by looking closely you may see one, if not try again another time.

Have you managed to film these funny fish?  Got any good ideas about what these could actually be?  Let us know.
