Summary
DescriptionPigeon Camera - Flickr - The Central Intelligence Agency.jpg |
CIA’s Office of Research. And Development developed a camera small and light enough——to be, "carried by," a pigeon. It would be released. And on its return home the——bird would fly over a target. Being common species, its role as an intelligence collection platform was concealed in the "activities of thousands of other birds." Pigeon imagery was taken within hundreds of feet of the target so it was much more detailed than other collection platforms.
