Jose Escamilla discovered the RODS phenomenon on March 19, 1994 This timeline is only a brief record of the events that have occurred in Mr. Escamilla's life that have led up to the incredible discovery of the RODS. Most of his childhood was spent growing up in the small community of Midway which is located nine miles southeast of Roswell, New Mexico.
Mr. Escamilla reveals for the first time that he had UFO encounters years before his RODS discovery. This is a compelling story that is still unraveling.

March 19, 1994
On March 5, 1994 Jose Escamilla videotaped 16 minutes of UFO sightings over Midway, New Mexico. On that Saturday afternoon there were no clouds in the skies and until the batteries ran out on the video camera he captured UFOs that hovered and flew at high speeds in the sky.
On March 19, 1994, fourteen days after the March 5th sightings, he captured the very first ROD objects on video. It was on this day that the objects made themselves known to Jose and now ten years of research have led this investigation into what may be the single most significant discovery of life forms that are among us that we have never seen before. RODS have now been documented by RODS researchers worldwide, including sightings in the UK, Japan, Korea, Canada, and Mexico and now footage has emerged from NASA's cameras in space.
The research continues.
RODS Sightings - From THE RODS JOURNAL
These are the most important sightings reported and submitted to us by viewers and researchers from different parts of the world that prove RODS are a "real" phenomenon. Our biggest critics are the skeptics and debunkers that have devised explanations from "blurred insects close to the lens" to ridiculous claims of mass hysteria. Some of the many listings in this report include:
MILITARY FOOTAGE of a ROD flying by as slow as a bird that can be seen in real time. Because most RODS clips require frame by frame and slow motion play-back in order to be able to see them, this footage is perhaps the most significant in RODS research, as this dispels the "blurred insect close to the lens” theories being used by debunkers. The ROD is actually seen with the naked eye!
UNDERWATER FOOTAGE of Rods entering the ocean in this Notional Geographic footage discovered by Jame Peters in 1998.
A ROD captured on video coming “out of the ocean” - Videotaped at Long Island Sound by RODS researchers in 1997. This huge ROD comes out of t he ocean and you can see the water break as it flies out straight up into the sky.
ALSO: RODS captured by NASA SHUTTLE footage and much more evidence!
