Posthuman Blues

Our skies are populated by two new species of mythological beings: "orbs" (which tend to show up in digital photographs but remain unseen by human eyes) and "rods" (flying insects imperfectly translated to VHS). Like the orbs, rods aren't visible to the observer; they manifest strictly through our technology.

There's something eerie and profound happening here, even though both of these phenomena are explainable. Will future instruments reveal a hidden dimension of reality? Will technology be our sole interface with new intelligences and, if so, whose technology will be used: ours or theirs?
