This is frightening! It works exactly like it says, and is one major reason
people in cars can look right at you (when you're on a motorcycle or
bicycle)---AND NOT SEE YOU. From a former Naval Aviator. This is a great
illustration of what we were taught about scanning outside the cockpit when
I went through training back in the '50s. We were told to scan the horizon
for a short distance, stop momentarily, and repeat the process. I can
remember being told why this was the most effective technique to locate
other aircraft. It was emphasized (repeatedly) to NOT fix your gaze for more
than a couple of seconds on any single object. The instructors, some of whom
were WWII veterans with years of experience, instructed us to continually
"keep our eyes moving and our head on a swivel" because this was the best
way to survive, not only in combat, but from peacetime hazards (like a
midair collision) as well. We basically had to take the advice on faith
(until we could experience for ourselves) because the technology to
demonstrate it didn't exist at that time.

Kind of freaks you out....

It shows that all the flourecent jackets and headlights dont make much difference.

Sometimes, it gives 'em something to aim for.



This group of Belgian Royal Escort motorcyclists were parked at the time. Did the driver do it because they were Police or because they were motorcyclists ?

Fortunately, none of the eight casualties are still on the critical list.

"During the War" aircraft hunting submarines used bright lights (yehudi lights) on the underside of the wings to make their planes invisible. I suppose under the right conditions this must happen with motorcycles.

This system is still being used, or at least experimented with...I saw some film of an APC parked on the brow of a hill and clearly silouetted against the skyline...along the side of the vehicle was a light array. A computer analysed the amount of background light and applied exactly that much illumination to the array.
When the system was activated the APC effectively just dissappeared before your eyes..an amazing effect...Ian
