The Pentagon is funding research at Lockheed to develop a tiny rocket-based spy camera that's MODELED AFTER A MAPLE SEED.

The idea has been in the works for two years, Lockheed Vice President Frank Mauro said at a briefing yesterday. He provided few details but said the plane could be built as an interchangeable hybrid -- manned by a pilot for some missions and operated remotely for others.
