I feel a writing prompt coming from this one. And if you haven't already read it I whole-heartedly recommend the short story by Alan Dean Foster titled, "With Friends Like These . . . " .

originally, they were blue- but it's so bright it overloads the camera sensors.

If they made lamb look like cauliflower I would be more impressed.

I'm a little slow on catching up. Those were a totally different take on "encounters with other species". Thanks for the links.

That last video was intense. That was some extremely skilled/lucky driving. Obviously not here in America judging by the license plates and mainly the deadly driving. I want to say Russia because they are crazy as we all know, but I couldn't catch any writing to say for sure.

I want one of these...

My desire to drive a combat robot, and my lumberjack heritage have met... and it is good.

I can't help wondering how many Green Party members have seen this video and immediately gone into catatonic shock.

That's a reaction video I'd like to see.

I saw the after effect of those "bollards" in action at FLETC-Glynco back in 2007. An instructor's angry wife tried to go around a line of traffic and the gate guards rightly hit the big red button. The bollards are under high air pressure and blast up out of the ground in 1/10 of a second to provide a solid line of denial spaced approx. 2' apart. One of the posts was under the driver's side of her van as she drove over it. When we drove up, the van was still on its side and she was on an ambulance gurney. It's one of the major federal LEO training centers in the US and they take security seriously.

there was a high ranking officers wife who blew through a checkpoint at the air force base I lived at shortly after 9/11.
cars stop very fast when you shoot them with a belt fed machine gun. fortunately she didn't get hit.

no one blew through a checkpoint again either.
