I've experienced something like this back in 2008. I was renting an apartment with a roommate and I had a little tv/vhs combo plugged into my room. One day my tiny tv was acting funny so I kept pressing the 'input' button on my controller to try and get it back to my cable tv, but after cycling through the inputs on my TV something weird happened. For two whole seconds I saw myself watching myself on the TV. It was from a view located near the ceiling and towards my back-left side. I spent the rest of the night trying to find where it was coming from and I was never able to replicate the experiment ever again. For some reason I completely forgot about the experience a few days later and didn't even remember it until another 5+ years later.

[@LazyIRanch]

My dad worked on covert projects for the NSA, specializing in communication and listening devices used in countries we had strained relationships. During my childhood he was often in Saudi, Australia (at Pine Gap, joint government base used for monitoring Russia through satellite), Egypt, etc working on projects he couldn't tell us much about. He did sometimes talk about the ones that failed that were no longer classified. One of the kind of funny ones was sometime in the 1960s, when the USA gave a nice gift to some government office in an African country (he wouldn't say which). This gift was a beautifully carved stone, gilded seal of their government, meant to hang in a board room where generals might be chatting. As the installers brought in this fancy heavy plaque to hang near the table, they accidently dropped the thing. It broke, revealing it was carved from plaster, not stone, and had listening "bugs" embedded inside. Oops! (edit) I wrote this before hearing the "Theramin" story, sounds like the US operatives just stole his idea! In the 1970s, he worked on a project in Saudi to relay covert messages to our spy operatives in Iran. They figured out a way to "piggyback" an ordinary broadcast TV program to send coded messages. To anyone who didn't have the descrambler, it just looked like a very thin line on the screen, and typical of analog broadcasts then. What I love was the program they chose to use, it was brilliant because it was a show beloved all around the world so it was above suspicion. It was "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood"! Can you spell, "sneaky"?

there actually are specific devices for finding hidden camera lenses. I think they shine a specific wavelength of light, and then you look through a filter and any camera lense is going to show up as a glowing dot. or maybe it works without a filter, or specifically combined with use of a camera on your end as a light sensor. something like that, but I think they're very effective and affordable, so if you're worried about hidden cameras, try to google around for it.

The bird drone is scarily similar to a story I heard that happened somewhere here in the midwest states. I don't know if it's true or when , but someone witnessed two crows attacking something on the ground and went to see what it was. The crows flew off, but not far (They're nosy and love to watch humans, it's a crow thing). What they were assaulting turned out to be a glider, painted black and it had the Batman call symbol on it! No, it wasn't a drone, just balsa or something. Heheh. Whew. My takeaway was that the crows thought it was an invader, and weren't having any of it.

[@noname2427]

The Bird thing does not for sure mean it was some kind of government drone I don't know anything about birds but the type of bird could be a clue as to what it was for what I mean is some nature shows that air on PBS and NAT GEO use those exact same drones to get close to groups of animals I have seen them used to get a close look into the lives of everything from elephants to rare monkey's and birds Africa is home to many exotic birds some of these birds use the hot air rising over populated areas to get huge boosts in altitude that would explain why it was flying over a big city I wouldn't be surprised if that's what the bird drone was for is spying on birds not humans even though it's not impossible it was ment to watch a person or group of people I just don't think so

You don't have to even have a clear view of a light bulb in the room. An infrared laser pointed at a window and a camera/sensor pointed at it's reflection will detect audio vibrations in the window caused by sounds within the room.. If you can hear sound within a room on the other side of a wall, door or window, it's because those surfaces are retransmitting (vibrating) the sound within the room. This is 1980s technology

So being a kid I picked up a big sturdy stick and started whacking them hard and they didn't get knocked off the tree so I struck them repeatedly for about a half an hour and had no success removing them from the tree or harming them. I was shocked and very frightened. My dad witnessed me hitting them and was shocked too. I went back to tree the next day and they were both gone. We both will never forget that. It haunts us.
