I don't recall an agreement. I recall the challenge and you balked.
Such a 'cloaking' would enable an understanding of why our data suggests that a tenth planet is causing orbital perturbations for Neptune (and others), and yet we have not located it at this time, despite carefully looking for it.
In my humble opinion, logic would seem to suggest that the potential for a 'cloaked Nibiru' is very real.

Let's say that the cloaking device you claim the military is working on is able to cloak a planet. By that we mean we are unable to see that planet regardless of how near or far it is from us. It can't be seen in the UV, optical, infrared, or any other wavelength. Furthermore, we must assume that such a device prevents the planet from obscuring background observations so that we don't detect its presence because it passes in front of other things.

The problem is that there are no unaccounted for orbital perturbations of Neptune or any of the other planets. A retrograde orbit does not mean it is comes from the southern skies. It means that the orbit is in the orientation opposite to the orientations of the other planets. In fact, the orientation of the orbit is not of importance in detecting or not detecting a new planet.

That's a little over the top. I think it is better to say that if there exists a technology that allows for cloaking of an entire planet, then could this object be near without us being able to detect it?
The answer to that is yes. Cloaking cannot cover up that the orbits of the planets would be perturbed by the presence of a new large gravitation source in the solar system.
Today's measurements of the orbits of the known planets make it very clear that there are no large planet sized objects nearby. A cloaked planet still leaves evidence of its presence because it has mass and therefore gravity.

The answer to that is yes.
By the 1970's and 80's modern observation techniques proved that the original perturbations in Uranus' orbit were measurement error and not being caused by a massive planetary body.
To cut a long story short, if a massive planetary body or a small binary sibling of the Sun were close to us, we would notice their gravitational influence in the orbital dynamics of the planets. There may be some indirect indications that a small planetary body might be shaping the Kuiper Cliff, and that a binary partner of the Sun might be disturbing the Oort Cloud every 25 million years or so (relating to the cyclical mass extinctions in Earth's history, possibly caused by comet impacts), but hard astronomical proof has yet to be found.

Man you're late to the party. I for one don't believe that gold mining was their primary intention; it seems to have been a side interest - who knows what uses they may have had for the metal. I'm intrigued by the idea of monatomic gold powder, but haven't had chance to research it properly yet - there are some interesting indications in the following video; however, there's contention regarding the validity of this man's research and his commercial motivations etc:

With all due respect, please don't drop in so late and throw sarcastic assertions around when you obviously haven't thought very deeply about any of the issues involved..?

No, I don't want him to 'not post' - just to try to weigh up additional details in a more objective manner beforehand... Which I guess is perfectly reasonable if we're to prevent the thread from devolving into argument and mud-slinging..? I didn't insult the guy, just pointed out that he hadn't particularly enhanced the debate.
Plus, if I can point out one more thing - you haven't researched the details either..? They don't 'search for slaves'... They allegedly created a hybrid race (us) to do the lion's share of the physical labour (not just gold mining), allowing them a life of repose/luxury.
So anyway - I haven't insulted anyone, and I have done my research (or at least started it). Let's keep it real.
Noah.

Here is the problem with the perturbations. ...... etc ......
Here is an easy to understand article that discusses the issue of detecting something by looking for gravity effects.
In your 4th point you suggest that I am asserting. In fact, I was asking more for a middle ground. You claimed "very real". I think "can't be ruled out" is more of a middle ground. Do you or don't you? Remember that this is based on conjecture piled on top of conjecture.

I'm confused you refer to low-tech people; was that in regards to us and our potential response to them? I did say that they might simply be acting in a diplomatic fashion, trying to avoid creating mass panic.
Plus, I don't think the argument that we were created as a hybrid race is particularly unreasonable; in fact it fits the biological/ paleoanthropological data quite well.
I think their technology would have developed beyond the 'nuts and bolts' stages eons ago; they allegedly used crystals, harmonics and some sort of quantum manipulation (along the lines of Tesla's wireless power source) even back in around 6000BC, possibly before. Fascinating stuff.
Anyway - it's late; I'm tired, and there's a lot to sift through before I can present any reasonable multi-faceted theory. I'll take the "someone like you" statement as a compliment? Thanks - hopefully the exchange can level out onto a peaceful steppe.
