I remember watching a show that suggested that fiber optics and night vision goggles were created by reverse engineering items recovered from a UFO site.
Velcro! That I may believe.

I came across a few theories that suggested that the transistor had been scavenged from the wreckage at Roswell, and reverse engineered.

Has anyone ever wondered if some of the more amazing (probably not the right word to use) technologies that exist today were based on artifacts found in ancient civilizations, which themselves may have been influenced by other-worldly visitors?
I’m not talking about the wheel or the introduction of metal but like the alleged batteries found in Iraq.
There are even some stories from various ancient civilizations that describe items that appear to be some sort of electrical device.
I think it is possible that some of our technologies are of ‘extraterrestrial’ origin. I remember watching a show that suggested that fiber optics and night vision goggles were created by reverse engineering items recovered from a UFO site.

The "it's ATLANTEAN/it's UFO-ian!!!" explaination for our technology relies on you not looking up the patent for the device or bothering to look up the associated technologies that supported it and made the development of the device possible... and relies on your not being smart enough to look at the math and science research going on in the world then and now to see if there's a theoretical basis for the device.
