In tests radar operators and observers on the ground were repeatedly heard to say "but I'm sure it was there a minute ago..." to which their commanding officers were obliged to reply "well keep looking it can't be far away...". </p> <p>In addition the team have found that the masking technique works even better in high pressure situations for example if the observer/victim is already running a bit late for an important appointment, which seems well suited to the stress of a battle type scenario.</p> <p>The press conference finished on a bit of a let down as the team were unable to locate the prototype that they had brought long for the demonstration. "I know I put it down right there!" protested Mr Stalwart as journalists and invited dignatories shuffled off awkwardly. </p>
