Eyewitness accounts of ET technology are now emerging in government research and in the marketplace.

Let's say an alien craft was recovered at Roswell . . . what could we have gained technologically from that? Certainly, we could have gained a lot of design ideas for advanced aircraft and we could have figured out what structural metals were used in its' construction.

The evidence is pretty strong that that's exactly what happened within the next decade or so. The avionics and propulsion system for an interstellar vehicle? That's something that would take awhile.

I think this is just the tip of the iceburg....

There is so much out there that the US Goverment has that we have not and will not ever see.

All thanks to our TAXES!

I feel that earth is the equivalent of a zoo for the universe. We are an experiment and side show for entities trillions and trillions of years beyond us. We matter not, but merely out of sheer curiosity.

The OP put many random inventions together from different time periods. Also just because a technology exists does not mean it will be perfected or put into use until the right economic conditions or technological environment comes into play. The internet is basically a network of linked up computers, it could have been invented many years previously (in fact was in the 1970s as military/university networks) but computers and phone lines were slow, graphics and video was almost impossible, just wouldn't have been very useful to world at large also unless most people had computers so they could read e-mails. So when enough people had computer skills and telephone networks and satellites became commonplace and cheaper the internet was bound to just naturally evolve as an efficient communication tool. It didn't come out of nowhere, the technology existed for decades previously but simply wasn't good emough of cheap enough or ubiquitous enough to make it useful. The invention of the hypertext language was inevitable, it was the infrastructure to piggyback the internet on that needed to exist first. Just to give an example.

Lasers and modern electronics were all invented in the 1950s and 1960s. Many technologies were pushed into real world usage due to the imperative of WWII..jet engines, atomic energy and bombs, computers, radar. Then the cold war made the US and USSR invest huge amounts of their GDP into more advanced technologies such as spacecraft and satellites and electronics research, the lunar lander basically used a computer with less power than a modern calculator, one could say it was a craft ahead of it's time simply because they had a target and willing to take a risk in those days.

The last thing I want to note is the idea of exponential growth. While it does not apply to everything you could certainly say that technologies involving electronics and information have experienced exponential growth..that is because we were starting from a low base and information is something that can be transmitted at the speed of light. Less so with energy generation and transmission. If anybody has studied physics or chemistry here you can see why the ability to create energy is not so easy to grow exponentionally..we already get high efficient energy conversion from internal combustion engines and power plants..they have fundamental limits that are very hard to improve on. Also if energy was easy to create, such as by nuclear fission, we would not be having this dialogue!

Good thread! I believe that some of human technology today was inspired by alien technology. Just after the Roswell crash in 1947 circuit boards started to emerge on that year. Its one hell of a coincidence if you ask me.

As an engineer, if one looks at the history of development of technology, one can see all of these are 100% man-made. They all took lots of effort, science, thinking, and design.

For example, anyone who tells me our current day computers are borrowed alien tech are ignorant of what a computer is, how its developed, and what it actually does. The concept of a mechanical computer goes back to late 1800s! Look up Alan Turing, von Neumann, and other computer scientists and their decades long work.

What engineers create is truly amazing but is limited based on our understand of physical laws. For example, why don't we have anti-gravitational devices? We don't because we do not know how gravity manifests. This is why particle physicists are trying to observe something called the Graviton (or the particle carrier of the gravitational force).

If we really interacted with aliens, we could have anti-gravitational devices and faster than light technologies. We do not have any technology that transcends our current understanding of known physical laws. Therefore, we did not have intervention from races that are anymore advanced than us.

The problem is that there is no evidence at all that an "alien craft" was recovered at Roswell.

It may sound funny, but the exact same post was already posted before not so long ago.

Actually the first Hybrid car was invented a little bit earlier than you stated. The 1899 Lohner Porsche.

Electric cars were around well before the '20's, they were manufactured as early as the 1890's

It seems as though you don't understand the definition of the word evidence.

In alot movies they say stuff was reverse engineered from aliens. In transformers and Men in black they say that

These ideas do seem to be in the movies allot but all of that comes from real research on U.F.O. conspiracy involving the government.

The picture that you use for "liquid metal" looks like a screenshot from Terminator 2.

When you use things like that in your posting, it works to debunk your other claims.

And liquid metal has been known for thousands of years. It's called MERCURY.
