It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's the Insectothopter! This bug-carrying bug was the CIA's first insect-size unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This model of CIA's original 1976 Insectothopter – a dragonfly-shaped drone that carried a microphone. It was too small to be remotely controlled & there was no surveillance equipment tiny enough for it to carry. Today, intelligence agencies use similar devices that are fully controllable and can carry out surveillance. And they’re even smaller! Join author, historian, and founding SPY board member H. Keith Melton as he highlights this rare spy gadget and underscores the critical role of intelligence on the world stage. Many of these objects have never been seen by the now. The International Spy Museum features the largest collection of international espionage artifacts ever placed on public display.
