Scientists are developing technology that can actually make people and objects invisible. Here's a very brief article about it:

I would like to tell the scientists developing this new cloaking technology some things.
1.) It's already been done. I make myself invisible every day, and I've even got a neat little toy that renders any electronic device I attach it to completely inactive, and after a while it will even destroy the electronics. Also I have a friend that has developed a device that can transport people long distances instantly. Are you going to "invent" that and take credit for it, too? Or are you so oblivious that you don't even realize this thing you're spending billions of dollars on has already been created? What sort of science guys are you employing over there anyway?
2.) You must plan on making some improvements to this invisibility cloak. Mine currently has some issues. Unfortunately when I use it I am still made of solid matter, and since it is not an interphase cloaking device, I cannot pass through other solid objects. You should try to incorporate interphase technology into your cloak.
3.) My cloak uses a lot of energy. No no, more than that. I mean A LOT. Yeah, that's more like it. While I do have some batteries that are so tiny that I can apparently conceal them in my pocket or shoe or someplace else on my person that no one can see, they take like half an hour to charge up in order to deliver a 10 second cloak. Maybe you could develop a new suit for me, with solar panels built in to supplement whatever means of charging this current cloaking device uses, which is apparently very primitive. Also, something machine washable would be nice, this dry clean only crap is a pain in the butt. The cleaners are making so much money off of me that they're talking about moving to a new high rise apartment on the east side of town. THEN who's gonna get this blood off my suit?
4.) If you intend on sending your cloaked, covert soldiers - let's call them "spies" I guess - behind enemy lines during combat, make sure to equip them appropriately. Suppressing fire is a common battlefield tactic, and if your spies are hit by this incessant, nonstop, extremely random yet somehow very accurate and deadly barrage of bullets and flames and rockets and more flames and MORE FLAMES, they will be dead regardless of how invisible they are. I suggest outfitting them with some good armor to help them stay alive. Like some really high end armor. You know, the stuff you save for when the pudding really hits the fan. That way they can avoid being killed, at least for a little while. That way they can do something useful once every few spawn-...er...every few missions.
Well, scientists, I hope you found my letter both informative and thought provoking, please get back to me with any comments or questions you may have.
