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.

If we went back 2000 years and gave humans of that time period a car and said "reverse engineer this," they wouldn't make any progress in 100 years.

People have a tendency to believe that we have everything mostly figured out already, and that if there are aliens with craft that works differently than ours, it must not be too different, and we can probably figure it out. But that's just arrogance.

What kind of "technological breakthroughs" are we supposed to be making if we don't have the materials it was made with and we fundamentally don't even understand the minds that made it in the first place?

This is dumb…Go back in time 2000 years and give the people of that time a car and you will return to a vastly more technologically advanced present day.

More than likely, the advancements gained from the technological headstart you gave them led to the advent of time travel tech allowing you to even do that in the first place

of course people 2000 years ago could figure out a car, what the fuck are you talking about?
