Cobb may have something there. Let's have a discussion about cloaking. My feelings about how the device work is that either it absorbs the outgoing light waves or as B. Cobb states, maybe the light waves are bent in such a way, it appears to render the object invisible. The only thing that we know of that has the power to drastically alter light is a black hole. So from this fact, I believe that it would take considerable power to use such a device. All the Federation wanted to do is to get one and learn how it works, so that they could track a ship that was using the device. Michael N. Washington TRW E&DS Redondo Beach, Ca. 90278 trwrba!mnw
