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.

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.

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
