Where Does Reality Start Anymore?

Has it gotten to where life imitates art?? Or,does science never learn from past mistakes??

On the first part that employees from the tech firm Freescale Semiconductor and their development of a new generation of radar cloaking technology.The idea going round is that an unknown power wanting these individuals for their expertise were kidnapped.With possible pre-existing access to or separate use of radar cloaking tech to hide the plane,along with the faked engine transponder signals to mislead any search.

Now for this to be even possible takes the world into the spy realms of Robert Ludlum,or the secret global organisations of sci-fi such as HYDRA.Even i am having trouble rationalising that!!

Now for the second part.Supposedly in 1943 the American government was investigating new technologies for making warships radar invisible.And that this new tech was tested on the U.S.S.Eldridge to most unexpected and unwanted results being that of material,temporal,or dimensional displacement through the use of electromagnetic field generators.
Was that it?? Someone at the DoD dig this out looking for a name for himself at appropriations time? And went to Freescale Semiconductor to develop it?
You made a new prototype and decided to test it out an a 777 passenger jet full of people.

It didn't go so well,did it??

Or maybe reality is this.We've been taught to believe a lie as fact and that fact is fiction.
Oh,this could be good....
