Where have you heard about this new detection method?  I do not recall
any knowledgable person on stealth technology claiming the aircraft was
invisiable to radar, rather it was difficult to detect.  The implication
of being able to detect a stealth aircraft at 250 miles woufd be that
it could detect a "normal" aircraft at several times that distance.  I 
find this very interesting and would like to know more about it.
