Someone got my 11 year old son some of those kiddie night vision goggles, and they are pretty cool!

Hah even I have fun with these!

We have some Russian made NV goggles at work. They are gen I but they work great. Just don't let a car headlight or other bright light come at ya or you'll be blind. We also have a hand held flir unit. I haven't used it much since I don't want to be the one to break the $20K toy but what I have noticed is I can follow vehicle tracks and see where a vehicle was. Humans turn up yellow,red and white which is great. Again, I agree with the rest as the battery doesn't last too long.

I like this one. Waiting for the price to come down on FLIR before I get one.
Ebay has some.

I just have two little pieces of info to add.

A.) Don't put it off too long to buy them because I heard that D.H.S. may put the kibosh on sales of NV equipment to citizens.

B.) When you do get them, Take a little time looking into the nighttime sky with them. Supposedly you can see all sorts of "stuff" in outer space flying around.

I'l expand on what I mean later if you want me to.

He's a Fed, so he would likely be exempt from the "citizen" tag.

I wrote down "citizen", but I'm not sure if it's for everybody or what.

Supposedly you can see things flying around and "shooting" at each "other". You can find out more by looking up a guy named Ed Grimes. There's also a NASA SDS space shuttle video that shows something.
