'Invisibility' Cloak

I was just wondering, we are able to see objects because they reflect light. But the things is, the light we see being reflected (the colour, so to speak) is within the visible light spectrum.

So what happens if scientists develop a kind of cloth that can reflect non-visible light? Something like ultra-violet would be cool, since we can't see it anyway, and it will make us 'invisible'! Actually, we'd look like blobs of darkness because no visible light can be reflected.

If that's the case and we wear the clothes at night, it'll look like our head is floating in the middle of nowhere!

COOL!
