Researchers have created a working invisibility cloak using one of nature’s common yet bizarre phenomena -- the “mirage effect.”

The new design from the University of Dallas was demoed on YouTube and even has an on and off switch -- and it's best used underwater.

"It is remarkable to see this cloaking device demonstrated in real life and on a workable scale. The array of applications that could arise from this device, besides cloaking, is a testament to the excellent work of the authors,” an Institute of Physics spokesperson said.
