America's Department of Defense has become interested in flying snakes. Are they developing planes that slither? Serpentine gliders? If so, expect some interesting UFO reports in the near future. Maybe it's a project with a cool name like 'Operation Draco'; the development of flying kraits for battlefield use. The possibilities are nightmarish and I can't wait to see what they come up with.
I think it is the peculiarly of the aerodynamics of a flying snake which intrigues them, particularly when this can be applied to drone aircraft. The current drones flying over Afghanistan are really very conservative designs; they work but could be so much better.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless, I do feel that pterosaurs are more interesting, especially their ability to fly from hatching right up to giant sizes.
