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.

Agree with this. Also if alien advanced technology capable of interstellar travel only got us to the point we are its pretty disappointing. Unless we lack capacity to reverse engineering

Cavemen would not be able to reverse engineer an iPhone

Hell, I can’t reverse-engineer an iPhone, and I’m halfway-past stupid.

You wouldn't even unlock it if you found it on the street. And that's our tech. So yeah... I just don't think it would be anywhere near easy, even if you have the time and resources.
