Still Waters Posted September 14, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The CIA has declassified details of its secret Cold War spy-pigeon missions. The files reveal how pigeons were trained for clandestine missions photographing sensitive sites inside the Soviet Union. The release also reveals how ravens were used to drop bugging devices on window sills and dolphins were trained for underwater missions. The CIA believed animals could fulfil "unique" tasks for the agency's clandestine operations. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49692534 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
