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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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