The Hummingbird aircraft is something out of science fiction. In fact, I even remember seeing a “Twilight Zone” episode about some kind of a flying object with gigantic cameras that record the moves of everyone on Earth. I am pretty sure we are about to see that fantasy become a reality.

I just learned that the U.S. Army, along with Boeing, is about to deploy a new unmanned aircraft called the Hummingbird. It’s a VTOL-UAS (vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial system). Three Hummingbirds are being deployed for a full year to survey and spy on Afghanistan from an altitude of 20,000 feet with the ability to scan 25 square miles of ground surface.

Wait until this comes to Manhattan. These cameras are so powerful they will be able to spot a great sale at Bloomingdale’s, Donald Trump’s ridiculous tweets, or Anthony’s Weiner. Seriously, the government will be watching us from above in order to avoid further terrorist attacks, street crimes, and wild fires.

Watch the video above to see how the Hummingbird works. This is fascinating stuff.
