Recently declassified is the MD Aquiline built for CIA, a large bird-looking stealth UAV from... the 1960s. This thing (it's inverted in the pic) looks like a large bird in flight, albatross or other large soaring bird. It had an 8' wingspan and an operational range of 3000 miles and principally operated as a glider with occasional power assist.
It flew inverted too, so the photos suggest. But would have landed upside-down, if you like.Birds, they haven't been real in 60 years. This thing was under live remote video control too but could go autonomously, it would operate at the 3000-10000 foot levels or so. This project is from the '60s.

Here's a newer one. No name as far as I'm aware. This one parasitically recharges on power lines. Just sits there like a real birb. Thirdies made this in modern times from chink parts.
Note the wingtip canards 40 years before they became fashionable. Canard means duck! hahaha
In light of all this Trump's golden dome for the White House makes perfect sense. If the CIA was making 3000 mile range drones 60 years ago it's safe to assume the Chinese can do it today and provide that tech to say, Cuba. Even after Trump's gone the threat will remain. In the far future, birds will themselves become endangered of course, due to anti-drone systems.
>>546200290>usa>calling anyone a thirdieayy lmao
>>546200251Owls slash hos on the reg
>>546200162>Birds aren't real
>>546200711not often, ask a chinese balloon
>>546200290Explain to me how touching a single suspended cable could create a circuit on which it could charge?
>>546203284The legs are probably insulators and it's likely done by induction. Same way you can wirelessly charge a phone.
>>546200162HOLY SHIT
>>546201030That's brilliant, makes sense
>>546203634Bicameral mindAncient humans as schizosOooh the rabbit hole is deep
>>546200240I had one fly into my palm the other day, super warm, it fell asleep and pooped then woke up and flew awaypretty sure it was real, and thanks for giving me a reason to talk about it because I never felt a bird so warm. Normally they're colder, maybe it was because it fell asleep.That's a wild picture though, I've seen that design in games and concept art before turns out it was copied from some classified stealth drone in the 60's.
