ROBERT SCHNECK: Flying snakes go to war

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.

    Nevertheless, I do feel that pterosaurs are more interesting, especially their ability to fly from hatching right up to giant sizes.
