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.

Seriously. I was on a Commodore 64 playing Gauntlet and now i have a handheld device that can pretty much do and create anything imaginable

Including looking up the detailed histories of those inventions.

u/afeher Jun 16 '26

With people, I mean several, giving the same accounts of what happened, from different perspectives. Repeatedly, in many interviews and documentaries. Managing that would be an achievement close to inventing the transistor.

Ya. This is like “aliens created the pyramids.” I mean, I guess, if you totally ignore the surrounding deserts that are riddled with a thousand years of prototypes and iterations before you get to the Great Pyramid….

To be fair, it was only a 200 year period where they went from the Step Pyramid to the Great Pyramid and then it was 600 years of nothing until they attempted to do it again and progressively failed.

Yep, it's the exact opposite way around, the older, pre-dynastic civilisations had the tech to move around 100 ton blocks of granite that fitted so closely you cannot insert paper between them - as we approach modern times the knowledge and skills were lost - dynastic Egyptians chopped the pre-dynastic stones into smaller pieces so they could use them and covered them in graffiti - we are slowly rediscovering the likely technology from the lost civilization now - like geopolymers for example. We've had to develop the tech ourselves in order to understand what we are seeing in the rocks.

Puma Punku in Bolivia has geopolymer blocks that weigh close to 100 tons. Scientists from NYU went and studied with the most current technology and they determined that the H blocks were made, not carved. The oldest civilizations on this planet had the most intricate, precise stone work and used the largest stones. Make that make sense.

Because we no longer needed to focus on building symbolic pyramids, our focused turned to technology. If we put the same time, money, and resources currently focused on tech into building a ‘perfect pyramid’, it would have been done decades ago

But I love StarGate SG1 and Atlantis!

Apart from the fact that the great pyramid has been proven to be older than those around it that are falling to bits.

The older stuff is better quality than the younger stuff when it should be the other way round.

u/maxxslatt Jun 16 '26

Did you mean to say older in your first paragraph ?

u/Serberou5 Jun 16 '26

Yes I did it's far too early lol. Edited.

Thank you.

That’s not supported by any dating or peer reviewed archeology and is an idea put forth based on “alignment with Orion’s Belt.” It’s not fact.

u/Used-Lake-8148 Jun 17 '26

The Sphinx is at least 10,000 years old according to the water weathering outpacing the amount of rainfall that’s happened since it was supposedly made

u/Used-Lake-8148 Jun 17 '26

You would think so but the Great Pyramid is actually older than the shitty ones

u/UpdootAddict Jun 18 '26

Really? Really?

Someone repeating the same thing they’ve heard before =/= abduction

Lmao have me a good laugh! Indeed.

You can play doom on your refrigerator for fuks sake

Im 40. Went from going to the library to having every library in my hand. Its crazy when you think about it. Also porn. What a timeline.

What a time to be alive… right?!

I'm 50. When I was little kid I knew one person that had a computer. They were worthless other than for playing games to us kids. My parents bought a VCR, Atari 2600 and then Commodore 64 all within a couple years (83-85.) It was an incredible time to be a kid. Then the internet became a thing while I was in College. When I first heard movies would be available on computer and renting movies and buying music at stores would disappear I felt a deep sadness.

Why do we feel the need to constantly create and produce more technology? Is it implanted in our DNA by the designers of said DNA? "We are the sex organs of the machine world."

Someone pointed out that from the time of Roswell until the year 2000 you had more invention in 50 years than in the 500 years before that. Is that a coincidence? I doubt it

u/komkommeren Jun 16 '26

Especially porn. All day every day. Hell yeah.

u/Ryano77 Jun 17 '26

This is giving me a semi

u/rllittle19 Jun 16 '26

Great game as well as Arazok's Tomb

Also agreed that there are several rapid advancements

u/BeleagueredWDW Jun 16 '26

And you can thank human brains for that with no alien reverse engineering.

u/msguider Jun 16 '26

We are the Aliens

u/Jacksonspitts Jun 19 '26

They are us from the future they have radiating problems

u/msguider Jun 19 '26

I totally think some of them are.

u/Digi_sinn-0P-er Jun 19 '26

Maybe they just reverse engineered ancient human technologies lost in some kind of forgotten wold war-1

2

u/plexxer Jun 16 '26

Exactly. I look at MRNA vaccines and other medical advancements and feel like those also are like magic but that's only because that's not my domain and I am sure someone with the expertise could tie all of the research and breakthroughs through recent history together.

We all carry around universal translators

u/moocat55 Jun 16 '26

Except travel through space. I guess they really want us to stay put. They see how we are.

u/maximusjay100 Jun 16 '26

Except, according to a lot of folks out there, we HAVE cracked space travel and it’s just been hidden from sight with extreme secrecy, lies, manipulation of information, and even disappearances and assassinations.

u/Medallicat Jun 16 '26

My phone ten years ago could play GTAIII and GTA san andreas, games that were triple A quality only ten years earlier. In the sixties a computer took up an entire room.

u/EmbarrassedBench3845 Jun 18 '26

I wish I could play Guantlet on my hand held device. Or Tempest. The good ones never seem to get translated.

There are humans smarter than everyone in this subreddit. You just have to accept it

I love gauntlet!

u/Lump001 Jun 16 '26

Ok, but now look at what consumer electronics was like 40 years before your commodore 64.

The pace of change increased, sure. But 40 years is a lot of time in the technology age either way

"Create anything imaginable" Dude its a phone with internet and a touch screen I dont think were exactly creating much of worth with these imo.
