More Developments for an Invisibility Cloak

06/07/2013 5:59 PM

I realize there has been discussion about cloaking and invisibility cloaks. I did a quick search here on CR4 to see if I'm not regurgitating articles,.... And it seems this has not been covered.

This development uses time and light, it's an interesting read, but still seems to be comprised of a lot of conjecture.

Here's the link:

Governments should monitor this activity as it possess a security threat to state as well as to the public.

What's the big deal? The photo supplied looks rather similar to my home shop. Things disappear there quite regularly. They usually reappear after I no longer need them. Not only things, but a lot of time has disappeared there too. I'm still waiting for some of that to reappear!

Reading it, it's almost like the phase, "If a tree falls in the wood, and no one is around, does it make a sound?"

That's why I mentioned it sounds like a lot of conjecture. :/

Try this one. It seems that what you are saying is perhaps misleading, seeing that the cloaks have been used for some time in war zones. Specifically, watch the tank. Interesting what you will notice.

Can't get on you tube at work.

But I believe I saw that about a year or so ago. if it's with what the Iraqis filmed with the US soldier that appears (Fade in) as he's running to the Abrams tanks and climbs aboard.

Don't know what to make of that, whether its real or not.

Yep, that's the one! I cant deny it but, if you look at computer generated camouflage used by the Swedes and several other NATO countries, you can stand next to the lad and not see him. Look up the UK tank that becomes invisible, it is clever technology and it seems factual.

If you see that clip, watch around the base of the wall on the right, and try not to use the one with the red ring, it distracts the eye. You will see the lad standing there in the grass area.

Look up some of the latest guns the military use too. You hide behind a wall or solid object the bullet simply blows your head off. It is self propelled, just an electronic signal sends it down the barrel. No triggers. 15 Rounds in a split second. I looked at one that fires 250000 rounds per second, unmanned works on a laptop. No personnel to operate it or feed it, four barrels, it is a beast. It exists so why not the cloaking.

I simply know this, if you have a feeling of being watched close by, you are being watched, even if you cannot see the person. Trust your instincts, they are rarely wrong. We don't know what is going on with technology, We like to think we do, but honestly, we have no idea. If a simple sound wave can generate a barrier at 15Hz, enough to make you run away and become ill, then I believe the cloaking is real.

I am talking to a computer which talks to electronics, a microwave transmitter, a satellite, back to earth and more gizmos and gadgets and to your computer, you read the words and we say we are talking to each other. Who would believe that? But it is real. Makes you think beyond the front door! It is our job to stay in the dark, it is the job of others to BS us to develop more 'stuff of make believe".
