I tend to believe that there was some influence in the explosion of technology, but where Col Corso is concerned, I have to wonder about a lot of his book. If we believe him, at a time where Security is paramount in military operations, a guard he bowled with just happened to look inside a case that contained an alien in Kansas, then told his officer buddy about it and showed him. I guess it's possible, but every military crate I opened came with a lot of screws to keep people from just looking in.

But then the Col goes on to tell us that he had a hand in other historical incidents such as knowing that Kennedy was going to be assasinated. Perhaps if I hadn't known guys who thrived on telling "tall tales" as we called them after the fact, then maybe I'd believe easier. By doing it that way, you reduce the chances of being caught in a lie.

One instructor I had, claimed to have knowledge of the F-117. It was unnamed at the time and being promoted by Testors as the F-19. He told me that the F-19 was what was being reported in Area 51 and that it looked exactly like the model. I never got to see and ask him about it after the fact. But in his defense. It's just possible that there is an F-19 out there somewhere. Many times the military with have competing aircraft producers build aircraft and then decide after there performances are evaluate. Then they quietly retire the unpurchased model.

And to those who say, "what do they have to gain by lying?" I say "publicity." Some people just need attention. Not to mention that many families of these whistleblowers families get their attention fix time and time again on various shows. I don't know if any of them get paid, but if there's a chance or a book deal, then that's another motive.

But having seen Sci Fi shows promote the ideas that it was Roswell that gave us diodes, transisiters, NVGs, LEDs and Fiber Optics. I have a tendency to believe it's possible.

Micro-processing / Semi-conductors and the technology that's advanced the engineering and manufacturing of this industry. That's what you've seen, not alien technology.

I believe the seemingly "fast" advances in technology are simply the result of a growing population using technology that exponentially increases R&D. I put "fast" in quotes because it is hard to really say whether we are advancing slow or fast unless we have another species (ET) to compare our advancements to. For all we know, we could be advancing rather slowly in the grand scheme of things.

The more tools we invent, the more tools we have in our arsenal to bring about more inventions. In the modern world, computers are probably the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about state of the art technology. Think of all the ways they speed up data analyzation, record keeping, communication, etc. and all the things we can use them for that scientists and inventors in the pre-20th century world would have killed to have.

IMO, this is simply a natural stage of evolution of an intelligent species. We had the stone age, bronze age, iron age, etc. Each one brought about new technology and new ideas which, at the time, probably seemed just as amazing and "out of this world" to the inhabitants of those time periods as our latest technology does to us.

Im waiting for the day that they invent a way to hook an iPod up to itself. Can you say "implosion followed by a black hole"?

To me the leap in technology from the Roswell case came in the 70-90s. The first home computer was primitive to say the least, and then it seemed to go from there. They had a programme over here in England about a family going from the 70's into the 00's using technology through those periods. The host said that was a technological boom.

It isn't easy to breakdown alien technology, but you just have to go online and see what they are planning for the future. In my lifetime, I have seen primitive technology, which by the way, was faulty and not user-friendly to technology that is accessible to every human being. The internet is one such example.

I am of the belief that they had this technology back in the 60's and held onto it, before they released it to the masses for profit. Also, I know that soon they will have biotechnological computers that have an interface, where the computer can communicate with the user. Similar to KITT and the computers on STAR TREK. Also, I believe that holographic interfacing will be more advanced before the year 2012. Also, I believe that our technology has come from advanced races.

Before and even into the 70's, technology was slow and cumbersome. Our technology now advances month to month rather than through years or decades. This technology and the patents have to have an origin. I think only 9.5% is inspired by people who are given the information from an outside source. For example, in the early 90's, I drew up a rough diagram of a fusion reactor. I had not taken any courses in physics, or quantum mechanics. It just came to me; an image in my mind of the reactor, and I quickly put it down on paper. The original diagram which was hand-written disappeared, but I was able to remember it through my photographic memory and drew the diagram up on computer. I will have to find the disc that I put it on so I can show you. Anyway, while surfing, I came across technology that used the interface which I drew up. I was gob smacked. I still think that I was given the information from an outside source. I think it was not for me to gain; but to show me that there is an outside influence to the advancement of our technology.

I believe our advancement in technology is based on alien technology, as I believe that NASA and other bodies are imparting some technology to the public for monitoring and for other foul uses. Why I say NASA is that there is a reason that the space station is being built and is quite large. They have been monitoring the ships that enter Earth's atmosphere. Also, they are building advance weaponry. It is all over the internet and the advancements in robotics is astounding. I believe within the next 10 years that they will develop fully interactive AI's. I can see them using cloned tissue (i.e. brain cells, or stems) to integrate with an AI's system that communication between man and machine will be as if sci-fi has been a precursor to what is to come.


This is just a few thoughts on my feelings on our technological advances. I don't think that my opinion suits everyone, and I suppose there are others with scenarios that are different to my own.

I find this interesting as well. It would be something if the exponential computer advances that are speeding up as we go is just an impatient reaction to incrimentalism by the powers that be. Of course, they could easily exist in parallel as computers aren't the only example, but our massive boosts in technological advance speed in the 20th Century is a strange enough event in and of itself. Anomalous for recorded history and all that. Perhaps it would be stranger if aliens were not the cause of the technology jumps.

My opinion is that some ET race gave us an injection, boost of technology, that started the cycle from which we managed to work on our own. 1947, 1954...Something like Giza. The pyramids were also built by man, but using alien technology...

we use 10 percent of our brain capacity, if there is alien life they have probably figured out how to tap into full brain potential, however, give us credit, aliens didnt help us invent the wheel, or fire, and back then thats the equivalent of going to mars now. so really technology hasnt had leaps its just been relevent to the era we live in

Ok if you believe we have reversed engineered or somehow recieved ET technology give me one example of such a technology!

...well?

what have we gotten from aliens that were so great?.


my toaster turns into a flame throwing droid demon,

thats what we have goten

We have nothing from them. We have all invented by ourself. I think the human species government or non- government is not in contact with them.

Ok wise guy...how about that white goo they use on your teeth...and harden with a BLUE LIGHT!!

You gonna tell me that ain't right outta sci-fi?

And I subscribe to Lewis Black's anguished cry: "It's 2003! Why can't I teleport?"

Ok besides that stuff then? Watcha got?

Need one ask for more? And don't go telling me it's not easy being green!
(P.S....I had some, but I forgot. Dang...another conspiracy!)
