Answer to your question is...Yes. The government covered up the 1947 crash and used the technology of the space craft to advance our technology.

Toward the end of the Second World War, the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) was developing all sorts of experimental aircraft in the hope of coming up with something cheap and easy to build that would rob the allied bomber forces of their increasing superiority.
Most of these ideas were impractical, but a few went into production. One of these was the Messerchmidt ME-163, a compact, highly streamlined tailless airplane that went into action under the name "Komet."
This little ship was designed by the brilliant designer Wille Messerschmidt, and was built, surprisingly out of plywood and aluminized fabric, to save strategic materials. It was powered by a simple liquid fuel rocket engine that was the distant antecedant of the engines in the Space Shuttle.
The idea was that the Komet could take off from any runway or even a grass field and climb nearly straight up in a very short time to an altitude higher than the ceiling of any allied fighter of the time. Then the little ship could glide into position above a flight of attacking allied bombers and dive at a very high speed onto the formation of bombers.
The Komets were equipped with machine guns and could shoot down a B-17 or a Lancaster with just a few well-placed rounds. The Komet was very compact, being only about 16 feet long and having a wingspan of about 25 feet.
The chief drawback of the Komet was in the fuels used for the rocket engine. The engine used potassium permanganate and concentrated hydrogen peroxide. These ignited spontaneously on contact and burned violently. Concentrated H2O2 unfortunately also spontaneously oxidizes almost any organic material, including the pilot. There were many accidents and many fatalities resulting from the inflammatory nature of these fuels.
At the end of the war, there were a number of ME-163 Komets abandoned on Luftwaffe air bases, and the allies made an effort to secure as many of them as possible, both to keep them out of the hands of the Russians and to bring them back to the States for research purposes.
One of the research facilities used for test flights with the recovered Komets was what is now called by some people "Area 51" near Roswell NM. There were numerous research flights conducted out of that facility during the late 1940s for the purpose of evaluating the rocket propulsion system and the performance and usefulness of a small rocket plane.
The "mystery" of Roswell in 1947 was nothing more than a crash landing of one of these little research planes. The explosion was violent and the remains of the aircraft were scattered and distorted. The pilot's body was badly burned, and probably at least partly dismembered.
It was upon this scene that the uneducated and frightened local residents burst in the early morning gloom. They saw what was obviously a flying craft of some kind unlike anything they had ever imagined, and made of what seemed like some very strange materials. Aluminized fabric was actually in wide use in industry at the time, but was not familiar to large numbers of people.
Also, they saw a badly disfigured body, or perhaps only parts of one. All of these things are easily explained, as you have just read. At the time, and in the face of the national wave of fear that characterized the early years of the Cold War, some people let their imaginations run wild.
For reasons that have never been understood by those who were in the know at the time, the authorities saw fit to misinform and disinform the citizenry and continued to cloud the history of this simple event in such a way that it has become more of a legendary war story than anyone would have expected.
The silly, amateurish film of the "alien autopsy" that circulated after this was unrelated to the real events, and is really too absurd to be paid any real attention.
For more information on the ME-163, do an internet search on "ME-163." At a glance you will see why most people would have thought they had seen a space ship.

Well, you're half-right. Yes, the aliens landed in Roswell in 1947, but they had no technology to share. They are known today as The Bush Family.

i have regarded at each and each and every of the data or lack of knowledge and that i must claim that there is not any longer some thing to help any crash occurring close to Roswell in 1947. lots of the witnesses have replaced their thoughts over the years. Others basically flat out fabricated them. the completed "alien bodies" tale all started from Glenn Dennis, who grow to be shown to be unreliable at maximum ideal and a liar at worst, yet he nonetheless tries to make money off of it till this present day. there have been thoughts of infantrymen that dealt with the bodies yet none have come ahead. After having seen between the fairly balloons and radar aims utilized in project multi-millionaire (nonetheless in tact immediately), i ought to comprehend how a resident would imagine it grow to be different worldly again in 1947. The resources used for the radar dish grow to be diverse from some thing that they had in lately. It grow to be a pretend analogy to assert that persons will understand foil from Hershey bars because the fabrics used regarded no longer some thing like undemanding foil. It grow to be a marvelous city Legend, yet i have not seen or heard some thing that would convince me that it grow to be some thing else.

in 1947 the us air force, the national security agency, and the cia came into existence. the formation of all these depts was prompted by the very real threat that nuclear weapons could end civilization in a matter of months. the air force could destroy the plants, the national security agency would monitor the development of wmd around the world, and already had the capability to monitor every electronic transmission in the world including phones, computers, telegraphs, radio, television,...everything. the cia represented the hit men to take out ppl capable of once again unleashing the terror of nuclear weapons. to defuse this mind-boggling initiative, the government began to make up stories about hapless aliens to satisfy peoples new and more sophisticated awareness of technology and detract them from the real threat of nuclear annihilation. the "alien threat" is a sure fire method of distracting ppl from mind numbing issues like armeggedon.

YES! Semiconductors, fiber optic technology, and lasers were developed from the governments findings.

breakthroughs in technological advancement are mankinds achievement through succesive years of research and development not through reverse engineering of some crashed down alien spacecraft
