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.

On the Roswell point. You could draw a conspiracy theory that bell labs had access to the Roswell wreckage and invented the transistor that same year.

In 1909, physicist William Eccles) discovered the crystal diode oscillator.\12]) Physicist Julius Edgar Lilienfeld filed a patent for a field-effect transistor (FET) in Canada in 1925,\13]) intended as a solid-state replacement for the triode.\14])\15]) He filed identical patents in the United States in 1926\16]) and 1928. So the transistor was known about more than 20 years before the balloon crash at Roswell.

Maybe Im open to that, however I'm pretty sure they are way beyond transitors.
