If I (human) have wings and fly over to, for example, the USA, will the radars see me? Or will I be able to go unseen?
Why or Why not?

Yes, this is serious, umm-m...if humans have wings... would RADAR see us if we flew over the USA.
No. Radar would not see you. You would go unseen. The reason is that you have no metal on you to reflect the RADAR signals back to the RADAR Receiver. Now if you wore a metal tank of pressurized air on your back, RADAR would
see the tank very easily. Or, if you had a great big belt buckle, or a neat AK-47 on your back, RADAR would see the Belt Buckle and the AK-47 because they are metal and reflect the RADAR signals. The fillings in your teeth are not enough metal to cause a major problem.

Are there radars capable of detecting a single human body in the air at a distance?
Yes. Sub-millimeter radars can detect single birds.
However, will the system (or the operator) recognize what it is -- i.e., a human and not a giant eagle? Difficult to say. Especially if you are the only one, then there is no past data to compare with.
If it becomes common, then yes; we will have learned how to distinguish humans from birds.

If u you happend to fly at very low level you will be undetected bcoz of ground clutter..i mean the radars cannot spot u bcoz of the buildings or trees
If you happend to fly at very high altitude u need have some materials which F-117 had..the Us aircraft which goes undetected by Radars developed during Cold War with USSR

What altitude would you fly? Radars are typically set at higher altitude usually at least above 1000 ft. Otherwise, your body mass WILL be able to be detected on radar.

Just to fly over the USA... nobody would really care!
But there is many restricted areas (military installations, the White house etc,,) that even if you are a house fly you will be detected at any altitude.

You'd be detected right away. Radar can detect a flock of birds. We have radar that can detect space junk (like an astronaut's wrench) measuring 6 inches. So yes, you'd be seen.

If you went high enough you would be spotted. Radar on planes tend to pick up bird flocks and such so, they should easily be able to pick up a fluying human.
