If my recollection was correct, I believe that is was stated in the opening "Captain's report" that the deflector screens were being used to make the Enterprise "invisible" to the old-style Earth sensors. By-the-way: for those in the D.C. area who were less than thrilled with WTTV taking the 5:00 weekly time slot of ST and replacing it with a single Saturday 10:00 AM showing, take heed. Channel 45 plays ST at 6:00 on weekdays. There really IS a God! LLAP, Barney K.
