    If you’ve seen Steve Carell’s hilarious version of Get Smart, you know that the two geeky scientists, Lloyd and Bruce, come up with a very technologically-advanced version of a spy device: a robot fly designed to act like a real insect while gathering knowledge.

    It turns out that Bruce and Lloyd weren’t onto something new.

    Military scientists are currently developing insect cyborgs, or “cybugs,” to work as mini robot spies. So far, they have been successful controlling flying moths with actual tiny implants. Though they haven’t yet been able to attach miniature cameras to these tiny spies, they’re definitely working on it.

A total of 231 so far in the first 6 months of the year rivals every end of year total thus far, which have been steadily increasing. In 2008, 285 total sightings supported with video or photos were submitted to the MoD.

    In reporting on a spring 2009 Atlantis mission, Fox News shows some clear footage of "space debris" flying alongside and just below the space shuttle as it attempts to return to Earth. Clearly, the debris appears to be three UFOs flying close enough for cameras to record their observation of the space shuttle. The following attempts of NASA personnel to dismiss the footage as inconsequential are trite and unconvincing.
