Watch out for that household fly!....



I knew this technology was out there I mean they use drone aircraft all the time, but did not know this had indeed become reality until I saw the story on DRUDGE this morning.
Our government is working hard on developing INSECT DRONES..it does feel like the story is something out of a Hollywood movie, but no folks, it is real..just think about it, with these small almost undetectable drones, The initial thinking is a good one: to spy on terrorist, but how long will it be until they are using these little robots to spy on their own people?  Going in to YOUR house, watching YOUR family...all I can say, is keep a fly swatter handy!..

  The fear kicked off in 2007 when reports of bizarre flying objects hovering above anti-war protests sparked accusations that the U.S. government was accused of secretly developing robotic insect spies.
Official denials and suggestions from entomologists that they were actually dragonflies failed to quell speculation, and Tom Ehrhard, a retired Air Force colonel and expert on unmanned aerial craft, told the Daily Telegraph at the time that 'America can be pretty sneaky.'

The following year, the US Air Force unveiled insect-sized spies 'as tiny as bumblebees' that could not be detected and would be able to fly into buildings to 'photograph, record, and even attack insurgents and terrorists.'

Around the same time the Air Force also unveiled what it called 'lethal mini-drones' based on Leonardo da Vinci's blueprints for his Ornithopter flying machine, and claimed they would be ready for roll out by 2015.

That announcement was five years ago and, since the U.S. military is usually pretty cagey about its technological capabilities, it raises the question as to what it is keeping under wraps.

The University of Pennsylvania GRASP Lab recently showed off drones that swarm, a network of 20 nano quadrotors flying in synchronized formations

  1. Heh, I wonder if a bug zapper still attracts them.

  2. It will be easy to find them because they will be flying away from the bug zappers.

    1. well since it is our current government they will spend millions developing them and most likely not think to install some sort of "bug zapper" warning mechanism..

  3. Not only did I write about that spider attacking me yesterday, I now have to fear it was a clone.
