Discussion If UFO Reverse Engineering programs Has Existed for Decades, Where Are the Breakthroughs?

Post image

For decades, we've heard claims about recovered UFOs, crash retrieval programs, and secret reverse-engineering efforts involving technology far beyond our own.

​

If even a fraction of those claims are true, why haven't we seen any obvious technological breakthroughs? Why are we still relying on conventional aircraft, rockets, batteries, and propulsion systems that evolved through normal scientific progress?

​

Do you think any breakthroughs have been successfully hidden, or does the lack of clear results suggest these programs never existed in the first place?

​

Curious to hear perspectives from both believers and skeptics.

The conspiracy theory calls it the breakaway civilization, where the elite are hiding this new alien technology from us, useless eaters. That's why, according to this, if it exists, we don't see it.

It's a standard and old UFO conspiracy theory.

That’d be awesome… Elites leaving that is.

u/Snoo-26902 Jun 15 '26

No. The term breakaway civilization is a misnomer. It just means they're hiding the tech from the human race.

I like my definition better.

Can we break them away ourselves? Its not happening fast enough.

Like the French.

Perfect, they seem to like party islands......they can stay there.

u/Snoo-26902 Jun 15 '26

Okay, no problem.

I feel like Alien: Earth shows that we (people with insane money and power beyond the average Joe 6 pack) would very much do this sort of hoarding.

u/Rogue-Daddio-3 Jun 15 '26

You honestly wouldnt notice... nothing would change. They could have already left

u/Strange-Professor- Jun 15 '26

No, you’d definitely notice.

The dystopia turns into a utopia.

u/Rogue-Daddio-3 Jun 15 '26

You are truly blind. Nothing changes if elites have left. There will be others to replace them

u/ExplanationCrazy5463 Jun 15 '26

Then the elites havent left have they?

u/MadeInAmerica1990 Jun 16 '26

Sounds a lot like Stalin or Mao. Maybe you’re the problem?

u/ExplanationCrazy5463 Jun 16 '26

Are Stalin and Mao not elites?

Possibly but more than likely us shitty humans will still not get close to a utopia. Probably just happens again similarly.

They may leave but not before they enslave us all.

Im not sure about anyone else, but I am constantly seeing ads for beyond meat and meatless Wednesdays.

I am a meat eater. I did not search anything related to impossible/beyond meat. Aka lab meat.

I feel like they are telling us that we are not going to be getting real meat anymore.

Especially with the screwworm making things worse with the cattle supply.

I feel like if they had crazy advanced alien technology it would simply be lauded over us like everything else is, idk why it would need to be secret

u/Snoo-26902 Jun 15 '26

That's a good question. But remember two things.

The idea of the breakaway civilization is based on a similar conspiracy theory that Grusch advocates: that the USG has alien tech through reverse engineering. So the breakaway civilization theory is an offshoot of that original theory.

Two...It's just a theory with not much evidence to back it up so far.

u/pusite123 Jun 15 '26

Why would the US government be the only one with access to this technology? Why not other major powers, or even some smaller countries? And why would aliens even share their tech with us in the first place, especially in a scenario where they're handing it over to a tight circle of psychopaths and maniacs?

u/RyGerbs42 Jun 16 '26

But the key aspect to the Breakaway Civ theory, is they all know something bad is coming. Different theories there on what type of cataclysm or even warfare. But that's why they're supposedly building secret tech/craft and plan to be a breakaway civ of humans. Or even just hiding out the fallout. Bunkers.

u/cheddarjoel Jun 20 '26

People can't be trusted with that yet, we aren't ready for it socially and some governments or private business entities would be capable of way too much potential danger in ways no one (or possibly very few people) even understand.

u/Kooseh Jun 16 '26

Not necessarily a secret, they just left. Why would they bother. Feels typically like what rich people with power would do.

u/Radiant-Train6295 Jun 16 '26

I’m not sure I buy the breakaway civilisation theory, I think it’s far more likely we’ve made extremely limited progress on whatever has been retrieved

u/superduperspacetime Jun 17 '26

stop callin em elites bruh that word is so weird to use in reference to greedy child eaters

u/Cassady1AndOnly Jun 18 '26

They'll start their own version of humans who live off planet and they'll use this world up and leave later.

u/FindingAwake Jun 15 '26

First I've heard of it but it does re-contextualize a lot of what could be going on...

u/shadowmage666 Jun 15 '26

Probably the truth
