Did you see this video section comparing the Albany video to others sightings? And here's a site in Japan as well with similar clips

This is the best video I found of the rods though along with an interview. What's strange is the WTC "missile" doesn't look like a rod or anything else I can figure out. Not that I can really figure out the rods either, but at least they can be grouped together in a single category.
