We are in Baghdad in 1991, and something strange is happening. A hush falls
over the city as a huge shimmering face materialises in the sky. Soldiers and
citizens prostrate themselves as each hears the voice of Allah coming from
within, commanding them to overthrow the evil and treacherous Saddam
Hussein. Within minutes an angry mob is storming the palace as the guards
flee...
This highly imaginative scenario was proposed by US Air Force planners for a
bloodless victory in the Gulf conflict. The idea of putting words in God's
mouth is not new. Back in the second century AD Lucian described a statue
of the god Aesculapius which spoke to believers, aided by a hidden priest
with a speaking tube.
The Baghdad plan involved projecting a giant hologram over Iraq. This kind
of projection requires a mirror behind it, and the scale of the project dictated
a mirror several miles across up in space. Orbital mirrors have to be
extremely lightweight, so the construction is based around a very a thin
sheet of metallised plastic. It is folded for launch; once in orbit it unfurls
itself like a giant umbrella. So far the largest mirror has been 30 metres wide,
but the present versions are too small to produce a convincing image at
ground level.
Another approach would be to make a mirror out of thin air. When warm air
lies on top of cold air, the difference in density is enough to bend light. This
causes the familiar illusory puddles in the road on a hot day. At higher
altitudes, a mirage can make whole landscapes appear in the sky, an effect
known as fata morgana. An artificial mirage could in theory be made by
heating the atmosphere with radio waves or microwaves.
