Watch the Iraqi footage closely as soldiers appear to run from invisibility to visibility as they enter a tank. Conspiricists around the world know that the US military has technology way beyond what is shown in the public arena (wink, wink)! If it's not faked, then what is it?
It was covered on TV (Discovery? Science Channel?) months ago.
......and?
One that was mentioned used nanotechnology that changed color and heat to blend with the background. It was still experimental but due for testing. This might have been a field test in Iraq.
Due to cost it won’t be used by anyone but a few special ops troops.
It appears to be more likely a camera phenomenon. If you look closely the shot was filmed through some sort of glass at an angle to the camera, and the frame rate is very slow.
Perhaps thermal imaging?
of course we have this kind of technology. we had to deploy it due to the limited humint on the ground. and since we couldn’t get guys inside the organization to get the intel, we needed to put people close to the tangos without being detected. that required a new form of nano based camo.
loose lips sink ships...
B-2 stealth bomber, too - it supposedly doesn’t have enough motor to lift its own full-up weight. Some guess a secret anti-grav system is employed.
As I understand it, mpeg reduces the amount of data it has to transmit/store by only occasionally encoding a full video frame (at some relatively low rate). In between, it only encodes the differences from one intermediate frame to the next. In this case, the main difference would be the rapidly moving person. However, add lossy compression and camo that resembles the background, and what you end up with is a rapidly moving "ghost" that is barely discernible from the background due to high compression. Notice how blocky everything is? Notice how the person "pops" out of the background as his motion slows? I think it is poor camera setup and video encoding, sadly not some really cool tech.
That’s probably that new digital camo the Marines are wearing.

You just ruined it for a bunch of wackos.
One of my favorite things to do!
You may be right.
I watched it again a couple times in full screen. It almost looks like a screen within a screen. The upper left of the picture is slightly different than the rest, the person “appears” when entering the lighter shaded square in the upper left. Others seem to fade when leaving that square.
"The pattern is designed to reflect some of the surrounding colors of the environment. It takes on an overall green appearance when under a green forest canopy and an overall tan look when in the open desert. By adapting to varying local lighting conditions, it blends well in many environments, elevations, seasons, weather conditions, and times of the day...MultiCam® relies more on a blending effect than a contrast effect to disguise the wearer. This effect allows it to perform in a wide range of environments, and keeps the pattern effective even at close distances where pixelated or “blocky” patterns often stand out against natural, non-blocky environments."
So post the actual link.
You sure are a slow learner, boy.
Allow me.
