Scientist: Military Working on Cyborg Spy Moths
Wednesday, May 30, 2007

At some point in the not-too-distant future, a moth may take flight in the hills of northern Pakistan, and flap towards a suspected terrorist training camp.

But this will be no ordinary moth.

Inside it will be a computer chip that was implanted when the creature was still a pupa, in the cocoon, meaning that the moth's entire nervous system can be controlled remotely.

Cyborg insects 'born' in DARPA project
DATE:18/03/08

DARPA wants to develop inexpensive micro air vehicles to find weapons and explosives inside buildings or caves. Mechanical and fluidic microsystems would allow remote control, could extend insect life, and provide for gas, audio and even imaging sensors.

That Fly on the Wall Could Be an American Cyborg Spy
Wednesday, April 02, 2008

The newest recruits in the War on Terror are high-tech "flies on the wall." Scientists in the U.S. are fitting insects — and rats, moths, pigeons, bulls and even sharks — with special implants so they can be remote-controlled and deployed for surveillance.

So how long have they been working on this crap? I think it was just a while ago someone here was claiming they could never remote control steer a plane into the WTC. The technology just wasn’t there. That seems like small potatoes compared to this. Well it seems they’ve come a long way since then unless this is just some kind of propaganda. I mean it is FoxNews so who knows?

Now I’m not claiming anything but from the looks of this forget the plane why not RC the hijacker? Or even the President? What was that thing in his back during the debate? Well maybe the technology really isn’t that far along. If the President is a Cyborg it has malfunctioned more then once. Oh well back to the drawing board.

It makes perfect sense to plan on creating technology in 2008 that you plan on using in 2001.

right?

now im no rocket surgeon but i think a human nervous system is just a tad more complex than a moths

and from the looks of the video in your third link, they can barely get a moth (a creature that knows how to fly instinctively) to fly

You're right (dodges moth), I see them all them (dodges fly) all the time, those pesky (dodges another fly). They invade my space (dodges fly), they watch me (dodges moth and fly), they listen to me (dodges moth).

Those pesky (dodges remote controlled, Cyber flees); I hate them (dodges fly).

What can we do LC, pleases (Dodges swam of cyber, remote controlled flees), help, what can we do LC?

Yeah it makes perfect sense they go public with stuff like this as soon as they start working on it.

right?

I don't see why not. The military likes to go public with alot of their latest high tech weaponry while it's still being dreamed up and worked on.

That may very well be just what's wrong with the President. But I'm no rocket surgeon either. In fact I didn't even know they did surgery on rockets.
 
OK, I didn't read the whole article, but what does the moth do when it gets to the Terrorists? Does it just flap around annoying them? Does it explode in a tiny puff of moth dust? does it record their conversations? Pick their pockets?

Call an Exterminator? Maybe a Terminator? Oh wait he's a Cyborg too.

Maybe but I don't think they just figured out how to implant a computer chip in a creature when it's still a pupa, in the cocoon, and control the moth's entire nervous system remotely just a couple months ago. Just a hunch. That and one of the articles was from a year ago.

Or maybe it is just a bunch of bull for our enemies to read about. UBL will now have to exterminate the entire cave before his next taping. If we can’t catch him maybe we can annoy the hell out of him.
 
The articles actually say that they are intending to or developing ways to implant chips in moths while still a pupa. Looking at the photos, the actual moth they have rigged up could not fly further than the longest cable they have at Best Buys.

Not to mention that developing ways to control the minds of moths sometime in the future is very different from controlling aeroplanes remotely in September 2001. Salient points emphasised for ease of comprehension.

If you are going to argue that planes could be controlled remotely, why not bring up the fact that we can already control drone planes. You would still be wrong, but at least you would sound plausible.

it doesnt even look like they are controlling the mind of the moth, just sending electrical impulses directly to its muscles, kinda like that "lose weight and tone your abs while sit on your butt" belt they sold on TV a few years back

I was bringing up the technology and how far along they may or may not be that’s all.

Now you can sit there and claim an amateur pilot can turn around, navigate, and steer a plane into the WTC at breakneck speed no problem, but to RC one into the WTC was just impossible back in 2001. But just a few years later they are going public with remote control live rats and sharks. Is this easier in your mind? Whatever works for you and your story.
