Correct me if I\'m wrong...
But hasn\'t the US had that since the 70\'s?!
I always thought hat the technology behind the Stealth Bomber and Fighter was they were invisible to radar. ???
Then the Ruskies developed a way of seeing Stealth aircraft with ultrasound, and we had to invent something even newer and funkier, which is why they admit to the Stealth tech now; it\'s outdated by 20 years!
Of course, the Russians developed a \'Stealth\' sub before us, you don\'t think Red October was complete work of fiction do you?
Anyway, \'visible\' stealth has been around for some years. If you project whats behind an object in front of an object then you won\'t see it, magicians have been doing this sort of thing for centuries. I had the good fortune to work as the sound-man for a traveling magic Show some years back, and I was amazed by how much is on stage in plain veiw, but no one sees it because it\'s color/texture the same as the backdrop.
Also, the US Gov\'t has been experimenting with cloaking since the 40\'s, that was the whole purpose of the Philadelphia experiment. Except instead of making the ship invisible they accidently teleported it. Omni magazine had an article on the phenomena of strong electro-magnetic fields some years ago.
It seems, in theory, that if you match the eltro-magnetic signiture of a certain place in time and space by surrounding an object with a resonating field , the Univers \'corrects\' itself and shunts the object to where \'it\' thinks the objects belong. Sort of how a Star gate would actually work, but you would first have to travel to the region the old fashioned way and take readings before you could match the field. Sort of a catch 22.
But I digress, it\'s a simple matter of bending... weather it be light, radio waves, or whatever, to make an object invisible, and we can bend just about anything nowadays. Hell, we even make Antimatter in a lab, so this is sort of old school tech.
Oh... and I think a cloak would make me look rather dapper. I could have a Phantom-Stranger thing going on.
