This thought came to me just a few days ago, when I was watching a movie from back in the 50's then later watched a movie from earlier this year. What gave me this thought was the growth in technological evolution from the time when "UFO's and "Aliens" became popular due to the famous Roswell incident.

Below I have posted images of the evolution of both scientific and material items from the point of the Roswell incident in 1947 to the modern technological releases from 2007-2009. Showing that in just 62 years, there has been a quantum leap in technological advancements. Almost Super Human.

Could this be a sign that we have indeed been using and implementing alien technology since the Roswell incident?

]The 1950's:

The Vehicles



The Science



The Material Items

---

2007-2009:

The Vehicles



The Science



LHC, Robotic Prosthetic Limbs and Honda's Robot just scratch sciences breakthroughs...

The Material Items



It doesn't stop there, those were just a few major technological advancements.

So... As you can see, this kind of quantum leap in technology just doesn't come from nowhere. There has to be some form of hyper-intelligent source helping us with this kind of technology (or) at least the helping us lay the foundation to do so.

In my personal opinion - which can be disregarded freely - there has been no technological "quantum leap", but rather a steady advance resulting into what we have today.

There is about 50 years between the images you posted, a lot can happen in fifty years, especially on the fields where there are constant busy research and invention going on. But I can tell you something that hasn't changed much since, that is human psychology.

I agree with the guy four posts above mine, you arent giving our species enough credit.
Just think about all the patents that are filed yearly. Hundreds of Thousands. Sometimes it takes just a small invention, or a small tweak to what already was, and then bam, you have yourself something that you have never seen before. That in and of itself, gives us the drive to want to create more, by knowing that we arent so "dumb". Comparing our technology to ETs technology, yes, we may seem dumb, because they are so superior, but I doubt that the technology that they would benefit us through would be a Tivo(just an analogy). I think its just the fact that we are starting to use the brains that (god or the aliens) have given us.
Ohhh, but that talk is too far off topic and should be used on a seperate thread.
So no, i dont think we have any help with E.T when it comes to our technology. Its our ability to reason and using that reason in order to make such breakthroughs.

Great thread.

Yeah, I really feel like we haven't been accelerating incredibly these past few decades but rather held back incredibly.

The amount of technologies we have access to, and could begin rolling out, that would make the world a better place for everybody, but are not implemented due to price system (not material) limitations are astounding!

Then again, what consumers see in the way of electronic "toys" is at least a decade behind what the military has already. How are we to know what DARPA is working on right now? I don't think we as civilians can know the whole truth of the matter.

I do believe that technology was reverse-engineered from the Roswell crash. Maybe not everything, but I think we got some ideas that lead us in the right direction. That is my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.

But why from a single point in time? You are right when you say it has 'evolved' almost steadily, however, it has all happened within 62 years. Something has happened pre-1950's that has boosted the evolution of technology.

It's called the industrial revolution. If you went 50 years back in time from 1950, i.e 1900-1950 the difference would be even greater. You don't need aliens to redesign the hood of my car.

Nice photos though. Makes you want to live in the fifties rather than today. So much cleaner, and in a way, a lot more 'modern'.

the b2 bomber the f117 , the x15 all were developed and made in the 60 and 70 .. nowadays these so called state of art planes are retired and not in service anymore...
So if our most technological advanced militair craft are not any more in use and they were created in the 60 / 70s .. the militair must have something more radical advanced because I can and will not believe that the F22 is more advanced then the b2 bomber ect we must have something space fairing or something radical because there is technical decline instead of incline.
All technical developement are based on moore's law and if like with CPU , memory ect even for other development this counts and so if the b2 was developed in the 60s and we apply moore's law on it .. you may tell me what we should have got nowadays.

What is lacking, as is the case in many threads like this, are irrefutable examples of technological leaps that cannot otherwise be explained by normal technological progression. With this progression comes the paper trail, the failures, the not-quite-right, and eventually the end product. If there is alien technology abound then it would be easily identifiable as it would have appeared from nowhere, and without any of these processes to prove it's technological geneology. I can think of no such examples.

flagged for your effort.

I hear what you're saying but your argument is flawed concerning the cars. When you posted the 50s models, you posted the common models that everyone was driving. The models that were being pumped out for Joe Smith to drive to work. Then you posted 200,000 $$ to milliom dollar automobiles that nobody drives but rich ppl. I don't know about you but I find a Ford Taurus to be nothing special at all. Post that next to a 54 Chevy
