This is amazing technology whatever it is... Fascinating to see how many people walking around are looking at their phones.

structure in China until 2007, at 1500 feet tall. I would guess that the

(15,235 posts)And some of these military spy-satellites can detect slight variations in heat signatures to virtually "see" through roofs and into basements. Certain types of aircraft have similar technology. Long ago, I had a discussion with a cop, who used heat signature gear, from ground-based equipment to detect suspects. He told me that the US Military had furnished their police department with obsolete technology The detail this kind of equipment is able to obtain is amazing.
