It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it was a top-secret reality: the US military attempting to turn common pigeons into suicide pilots for guided bombs. But how did scientists plan to train birds to take down Nazi warships with pinpoint accuracy?

In this historical investigation, we uncover the bizarre "tech" behind Project Pigeon. We analyze the classified experiments of behaviorist B.F. Skinner, who engineered a way to turn living animals into "organic computers" long before the digital age. We explore the strange training methods, the "crime" of ethical oversight that would never pass today, and why this seemingly insane idea was actually more accurate than the electronic systems of the time. From the Skinner Box to the nose cone of a Pelican missile, this deep dive reveals the forgotten science behind WWII's strangest weapon.

If you are interested in weird history, military secrets, behavioral psychology, and the strange origins of guidance technology, this video reveals how pigeons almost changed the war.
