Stealth Camouflage Disguise
There is more to stealth, camouflage and disguise than wavelengths of light and shadow. Several distinct factors of physics, biology and psychology make the successful shroud possible. The first way to approach a successful endeavor into non-detection would be to determine what method one will be observed with. For example, a Stealth Bomber, despite its name, would be easily detected visually if it was sitting still on an airfield surrounded by F-16’s. It would stick out like a sore thumb. But if a those planes were in the air, especially at night…the stealth bomber would be challenging to find visually and via radar. So it is important to establish, the setting and detection methods of the observer.
One possible explanation for the reason why most people can see many shades of green is interesting. People say that when early humans spent a great deal of time in forests, snakes were dangerous predators. The snakes were camouflaged by their color and patterns on their scaly skin. So the people that survived hunting and foraging in the forests were the ones that were able to distinguish snakes from the green foliage. Eventually people with better eyesight, especially in seeing differences in many shades of green were able to pass down their genes. And over time green became a color that most people can see great variance in.
So the snakes were technically using two different forms of stealth. First they had their primary color, which in many cases was green. And this helped them to blend in with their environments. The second form was their spots or colored shapes on their skin. These worked as a form of camouflage which works in conjunction with the base color but does something entirely different. The base color is an attempt to compensate for creatures that are scanning a jungle or terrain quickly. If you don’t look closely you won’t be able to notice the snake.
But the pattern camouflage is interesting because it tricks the mind into thinking that one thing is something that it is not. So camouflage is a more active than base color. Many soldiers use camouflage in order to decrease their visibility in the battlefield. But the more complicated the camouflage, the more terrain-specific it becomes.
But stealth is more than simply how things appear. Movement is a huge part of stealth. And usually it is relative. You can always pick a perpetrator out of a crowd when he is being chased by the police, because he is usually running and everyone else is not.
Panhandlers on busy street corners are easily visible because they are the only ones standing still. Someone carrying a sign on a sidewalk while walking in times square would blend into the crowd and probably would be ignored more than if he/she was stationary.
But we have just discussed visual stealth. There is stealth of sound as well. By walking on one’s tip toes, you make less sound. Unless of course if you are on your tip toes because you are wearing high-heels. Then one would probably make a great deal of noise.
Actually there is stealth for all the different senses one can think of. It doesn’t really matter if we are talking about visual or auditory, or even sent based stealth. The main thing to think of is that stealth is related to lowering one’s relative vibration level. It is all about not standing out.
Disguise, on the other hand is entirely different. It implies that one is trying to conceal an identity, by having a different appearance. The important thing to think about is that although appearance may imply that we are only talking about visual appearance. It doesn’t necessarily have to be that way. By simply changing someone’s inflection and using a blocked number, one can sound like an entirely different person on the phone. A change of cologne can make someone think that you feel differently about that person’s company. So disguise is focused on change.
Celebrities wear disguises all the time in order to avoid paparazzi. People grow beards, wear hats, and sometimes even prosthetic limbs.
But there is a special circumstance that combines many of these discussed methods of detection avoidance: Well timed honesty.
Someone being honest with his or her intentions or identity can have catastrophic consequences when they are forced to reveal them, under harsh scrutiny. But if those very same intentions are disseminated over a calculated period of time, people and organizations can become desensitized to them.
Let’s do a thought experiment.
Imagine Walter frequents his local coffee shop quite often. And every other time he goes to get his Latte, he mentions how much he loves gorillas and mentions some kind of interesting fact on gorilla lifestyles or physiology. Over time, the staff will become accustomed to listening to his gorilla info for the day and won’t think twice about it. Maybe even a barista may ask Walter about gorillas when he forgets to bring them up for a few days.
After a year of this behavior, Walter walks into the coffee shop wearing a gorilla suit.
Most of the staff, will probably guess that the person is Walter, playing a joke or going to a party and they will not call the police.
They might even ask Walter in his gorilla suit if he wants a banana smoothie as a joke.
The repetitive honesty of Walter, desensitized the coffee shop staff to the concept of him in conjunction with gorillas.
Now imagine if Walter doesn’t like gorillas and he never talked about them. Actually in this scenario, Walter is a huge fan of Jazz music. So every day he talks about Thelonious Monk and other famous Jazz musicians.
And after a year of constantly bringing up Jazz…Walter walks into the coffee shop wearing a gorilla suit.
You can see that the staff would be very shocked, especially if it wasn’t a holiday like Halloween.
So there is a form of power in honesty. But it is all about the timing and repetition of the information.
The shroud of honesty.
