Robotic Nano Hummingbird designed for the US Defence!

The Nano Hummingbird was developed by AeroVironment for the US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) and may one day be used for rescue and surveillance missions for the military. The hummingbird has a small wireless camera, and can fly for around 10 minuets. It was obviously developed for military and civilian use as a small remote controlled spying device that would go unnoticed and blend naturally into the surrounding environment.

This is crazy, if they are developing this and showing it publicly, just imagine what else they have!

The prototype uses its wings to achieve propulsion and maintain balance, and it is equipped with a small camera that can stream live video.

The hummingbird is really a working prototype to see if the technology would work in the real world — scary spying robotic birds!

In the late 80s I started investigating UFOs and crop circles and joined the CCCS (Centre for Crop Circle Studies) and a local group researching strange sightings and reports along the south coast of Dorset (UK). In the early ’90s I started my own research group called SPS (Strange Phenomena Studies), this was renamed in 2004 to Cryptoworld.
