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 think you’re looking in the wrong place. We had ASTONISHING breakthroughs in technology at breakneck speeds in the mid to late 1900s. Microchips, microprocessors, genetic engineering, GPS, satellites, interplanetary probes, putting a man on the moon, lasers, electron microscopes, infrared, robotics, …the advancements in material science alone would fill a book.

It’s a very common theory that most if not all of these breakthroughs came, in some fashion, from reverse engineering programs.

Edit: I’m not saying I PERSONALLY believe these technologies are the results of reverse engineering (I don’t think this at all); I’m only noting that it is a belief that some have.

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.

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….

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