I've Not Seen This Before

I just posted in the RFB mod thread about an anomaly I encountered yesterday. I had just completed a mission to recon Tarawa & I got two radar contacts. It was night & raining heavily so I decided to stay on the surface, I eventually HIT the radar contact & the rain shrouded ship was obviously a merchant, but it wasn't actually there....the ship was invisible almost as if it had a cloaking device from star trek. You could see it if the rain was hitting it or after the rain stopped I fired my deck gun at it & the shell burst mist/smoke made the area visible (in outline only) for a second until the smoke & mist cleared. You could see the outline of the hull in the water but nothing else unless rain/mist/smoke etc. made the ghostly image visible. I took 7% hull damage when I bumped into it too, so something was there.
