British defense researchers have invented an invisible tank — or at least a way to make a tank invisible.

London's Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph and Sun all report on tests conducted by the Ministry of Defence last week in which a tank rolled across a field, completely invisible to observers standing at a certain point.

"This technology is incredible," an unnamed soldier was quoted by the Daily Mail and Sun. "If I hadn't been present I wouldn't have believed it. I looked across the fields and just saw grass and trees — but in reality I was staring down the barrel of a tank gun."

I'm guessing Fox picked this up from one of those greatly-respected British newspapers like the Sun... :laugh:

to be honest I don't know why they are wasting their time on this.....if they watched "Predator" they already know that you can target the guy as soon as he moves, because the reflection changes......
