Inventor plans 'invisible walls'

"The inventor of an 'invisibility' cloak has said that his next project will be to develop the technology to allow people to see through walls."

The potential for technologies like this makes me giddy. If we can make things like this now, what could a civilization a few million years ahead of us be capable of? "They" could be here and we'd never know. Unless they wanted us to; I suspect the theatric behavior exhibited by UFOs is a deliberate ploy to get our attention without overloading us.

I'm reasonably certain we're being visited by an intelligence so thoroughly mated with its technology that we lack the syntax to accurately describe it.

(I hope to write a book along these lines . . .)
