What a thrill it would be to make yourself invisible! Imagine the possibilities – sneaking out of a boring meeting (naughty), listening to a private conversation (wicked), or leaving a restaurant without paying the bill (positively evil!)
Technology has taken a step closer to making this a reality. The chief scientist of prestigious Birmingham University, Dr. Shaung Zhang, announced his team’s discovery of a cloaking device. According to Dr Zhang, this device is a crystal that can exploit light refraction on demand. Dr. Zhang believes that this technology will be widely used in the future.
No surprise to UFO enthusiasts, they have long suspected that the ability to make themselves invisible is the explanation for many cases of suddenly disappearing UFOs. There have been countless UFO sightings described with this scenario – rapid acceleration, then gone from view in an instant. Cloaking devices are a logical explanation for this disappearing act.
Another group excited, but not surprised by this announcement, are Star Trek fans. One of the first season’s episodes, “Balance of Terror”, was centered on a cloaking device. Captain James Kirk was fighting against an enemy who was able to make their ship invisible. The mechanism used to perform this act was referred to as a “cloaking device.” This episode originally aired in December of 1966 – who would have guessed that less than 50 years later this futuristic technology would be a reality?
At the moment Dr. Zhang has made only small items invisible. This is a work in progress and needs to be perfected. The potential for use as a weapon for evil and criminal purposes is enormous. An anti-cloaking device needs to be invented to prevent misuse. Regulations and international agreements will have to be enacted to safeguard the device. There will be many issues to be addressed before, or if ever, it becomes available to the general public.
For the UFO community, it is another piece of concrete evidence of the existence of UFOs and extra terrestrials who are much further technologically advanced than us. We will all be amazed by what the future will bring and how future discoveries of UFO technology will make believers out of more and more people.
Come on! I am not a skeptical but a follower of this site but... be serious! thats just a linear polarizer lens... any photographer (a good one from the analogic era) can do the same with a vintage linear polarizer filter focused to any translucid object reflecting light in a specific angle. whats next going to be post? a explorer from genoa discovering america?
If you have to carry a big screen in front of you to make you "invisible" I don't see much use for it...
