I don't know a really good solution, only a semi-decent kluge. Turn off fogging on the ghosted objects. Now, based on the distance from the camera, retexture the ghosted objects at several different states/frames making the object progressively darker and more close in hue to the fog color. It will make the object kind of fade into the background at various steps. I did this for the ring explosions in my game SkyCars as they fade out and get larger.

there is a fade object command as well that might be the ticket.

Don't think fade object would do it. That just changes (scales) the face normal sensitivity to light.
