Does it seem odd to you that technology----?

Question

People have been on this earth for thousands of years. Does it seem odd to you that technology has just evolved to where it is now since about 1949-1950 when the so called Roswell, New Mexoco UFO crashed?

Answer 1

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.

So to answer your question, it is well know that no "alien" technology was involved in the Roswell scenario, and there were no significant changes in the advance of human technology at that time.

Answer 2

If you look at a curve of technological development, you will see no particular spike from 1947 to 1953. It is also useful to look up the history of certain technological innovations. Most encyclopedias will show you how they evolved. Nowhere will you see a sudden jump in technology which seems to be missing critical intermediate steps.

The documents on Roswell have been released. The business was secret because it involved several balloon trains which were launched to monitor the atmosphere for nuclear testing. The Roswell crash occurred during a storm soon after a ballon train was launched from Alamagordo. The debris, as described, matched the stuff that was in that balloon train. There was no space ship. No aliens. All the hype and the whole unfortunate Marcel story were post hoc sensationalism. It would have been forgotten if not for the tireless efforts of one or two UFO buffs who saw their chance at becoming celebrities and sub-culture darlings.

Answer 3

All the technology we've seen in the last 40 years has been based on the integrated circuit which replaced the transistor. And the transistor had replaced the vacuum tube before that. The history of both is well documented. Both are made from silicon, the most abundant element in the Earth crust. So in short, no I don't find it odd in the least.

Besides, a UFO never crashed in Rosewell, NM in the first place.

Answer 4

We built the atombomb in 1944. No aliens involved. The computer is based on theories from the seventeen hundreds. No aliens involved. The first computers were built during world war II. No aliens involved. The jetengine goes back to the thirties. No aliens involved. Rockets go back even further. No aliens involved. Don´t you think we would be using propulsion a tad more advanced than those if we had posession of a craft capable of intergalactic flight? And if there were aliens capapable of intergalactic flight what could possibly make them crash in Roswell New Mexico?

Answer 5

No. If it's the case that we got some technological boost thanks to reverse-engineering some alien technology, then we should find that there is some technology that suddenly "appeared" in our culture without having any apparent roots in previously known technology.

Although it may seem to some people as if new technology magically appears out of nowhere, I predict that if you actually take any particular example and research it, you will be able to find a step-by-step logical progression from old technology that predates the Roswell incident. None of this stuff is top secret.

Answer 6

I'm curious as to exactly how primitive you think our technology was prior to that point?

I hope you are aware that most of the big technological developments we take for granted today had already been invented by that point. Some quite a while earlier, some more recent. Which is just as you would expect if we did it ourselves - and not if we stole the ideas from aliens.

Answer 7

I hope that you are not inferring that our technology came from the Roswell crash. And are you also inferring that there were no technological advances before 1949???

There's not enough space here to list pre '49 technology. You get the books out and do it yourself.

Answer 8

Please don't tell me you are inferring that humans have stolen technology from a UFO that crashed in New Mexico back in the 1940s? (no reference!)

Human technology has gradually increased in the last what, 200,000 years, with occasional fast developments. Our current tech. is based on physical laws which were theorized in the late 19th/early 20th century (at the latest).

I don't see a big evolution in technology since 1940-1950 which surely would have occurred if we had access to advanced alien tech.

Answer 9

I seriously doubt it. I have knowledge that a human owns the patent on all the technologies you see today in society.

Answer 10

There have been many inventions made before the 50s... telephones, lightbolbs, movies, television, cars, and more. It's just that we have improved upon those inventions and turned them into what they are today.
