Question first:
What are the resources that our secret/advanced programs might need that are only found on Earth that could allow us to say “ah ha! There’s a lot of this stuff being consumed but we can’t really account for that level of consumption??”
The ultimate point of answering this question is validating or invalidating claims that we are much more advanced in terms of space fairing than we have been led to believe - or at least find another rabbit hole for further exploration.
Background:
Recently, I’ve been thinking more and more that perhaps the answers for the ET/UAP phenomenon may be found right here on Earth and we’ve been doing it wrong by looking at the stars/space/other planets. Not entirely wrong, but not focusing enough on what’s here as we could.
That said, I got to thinking about the concepts of the “20 and Back Program”/Secret Space Force/Mars Defense Force and while those programs may be pure fiction I suspect there is more going on in space than we’re aware and we’re likely more advanced technologically than most of us (myself included) can fully appreciate.
If we are more advanced than the public knows broadly and building things beyond known capability, resources to construct said technology would be needed. A lot of resources potentially - which means you’d have to account for those resources and have a supply chain if we were talking about a normal/civilian project or business.
Since we’re talking about advanced and highly classified tech... you wouldn’t be able to review standard accounting system for that - no line items are going to show up in an easily detectable place for a huge @ss space craft (or any other black project). For example, if they needed many tons of Titanium to build a large craft - hypothetically - then somewhere along the way that level of consumption could potentially be traceable in the marketplace.
But what can be found “off world” that would allow us to get the materials we need without leaving an earthly footprint? A lot.
Our moon has a lot of resources that could be useful:
en.m.wikipedia.org...
And there’s government interest in harnessing some of those resources - namely Helium 3 (which many of you have likely heard of):
m.phys.org...
And private industry interest:
www.cnbc.com...
Similar points can be made about Mars in terms of its resources and how we could/might want to leverage them.
Mars natural resources:
www.popularmechanics.com...
So given all of the above - what resources don’t these off-Earth locations have (at least to our knowledge)? A short list I came up with:
- plant life (food)
- Protein food sources (cattle/chickens/fish)
- Humans (labor... food? )
- Trees (to clean the air)
- Sodium?
My question to you then, again, is what am I not thinking of in terms of resources that our secret/advanced programs might need that are only found on Earth that could allow us to say “ah ha! There’s a lot of this stuff being consumed but we can’t really account for that level of consumption??”
Maybe this train of thought has been explored before but I don’t recall seeing it. Trying to work backwards here in an attempt to shed more light on what’s actually going on.
Thanks, all.

It would not be too hard for any government to set up own mines and facilities and screw with the numbers. Or buy through strawman companies, that would be much easier. This way the market just "consumed it away" and nothing to account for again.
Sodium? Sodium belongs to the ten most abundant elements on earth.

This is how it is probably being done, probably through multiple strawman companys, back in the day when they were working on the SR71 the only country that really had a lock on titanium was Russia, they supplied us with the materials to build out secret spy plane and didn't even know it.
