Between 1665 and 1680, Flemish Jesuit priest and astronomer Ferdinand Verbiest created plans for a miniature four-wheel unmanned steam “car” for Chinese Emperor Khang Hsi. In 1769, Frenchman Nicholas Cugnot built a steam-powered motor carriage capable of six miles per hour. In 1825, British inventor Goldsworthy Gurney built a steam car that successfully completed an 85 mile round-trip journey in ten hours time. (Steamers dominated the automotive landscape until the late 19th century.)
1888
Immisch & Company built a four-passenger carriage, powered by a one-horsepower motor and 24-cell battery, for the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. In the same year, Magnus Volk in Brighton, England made a three-wheeled electric car.

The point I am trying to make is these inventions were in the works long before they were ever released as real projects. It's not alien technology under our noses.

Umms, all the things you speak of are all advancements that took place over a very long period of time.
Let me explain...

So as you can see, the technology has been in development for over a hundred years now.
The atomic bomb was worked on by the most intelligent minds of our time, Albert Einstein to say the least. The atomic bomb theory was created using math and physics which weren't very much ahead of their time, it was a simple calculation of force.
Windmills are a simple, they work just like a waterwheel, only with air, it's not very hard to understand. The wind turns the mill which in turn makes a turbine go round, which produces electricity.
The Hubble Telescope is outdated today actually because of advances in the field of optics and satellite imaging.
The point I am trying to make is these inventions were in the works long before they were ever released as real projects. It's not alien technology under our noses.
Now the spy planes, those however would be considered something of an anomolie in technology. But these are simple things that humans just grasp the concept and made usefull.
