WASHINGTON -- Scientists are boldly going where only fiction has gone before -- to develop a Cloak of Invisibility. It isn't quite ready to hide a Romulan space ship from Capt. James T. Kirk or to disguise Harry Potter, but it is a significant start and could show the way to more sophisticated designs.
In this first successful experiment, researchers from the United States and England were able to cloak a copper cylinder.
It's like a mirage, where heat causes the bending of light rays and cloaks the road ahead behind an image of the sky.

I'm not sure that we would ever be able to see this technology at a public level, but wow. Here's some links to original postings about 5 months ago.

When I first posted about it 5 months ago I figured it would be something that would never happen in the short term, and maybe never really be a success at any point. If developed fully this would be scary when used in a military function.
