Same here (Keyhole)

Funny story: Back then I was running keyhole with my son who was about five years old. Naturally you want to fly in over your house, so we did that. He saw the house and said "Dad, go run outside!"

Is your son now a scriptwriter for 'NCIS'?
There are systems deployed by the U.S. military because some general or colonel saw Enemy of the State and said "I want that surveillance tech." Look up Gorgon Stare.
Or... we could save people time and link to exactly what you're talking about. And even explain it!

Tldr; The 1998 movie "Enemy of the State" had a fancy eye-in-the-sky drone that inspired military drone surveillance tech developed through DARPA funding and deployed in various systems. One such is known as Gorgon Stare, used on Reaper drones.
