Real Estate Sales Neighborhood by neighborhood: What is the price of a garage for sale in Buenos Aires in July 2025? - La Nación Propiedades

Interesting question—and a fair one.

My personal take? If there is something out there (call it UFOs, UAPs, or whatever term is fashionable this year), it likely operates in stealth mode unless it wants to be seen. The assumption that “more cameras = more proof” only works if whatever is being observed behaves like us. That may be a faulty assumption.

There are exceptions.

Take Roswell, shortly after WWII. My father flew with the same Army Air Corps bomb group that later ended up stationed at Roswell. That period wasn’t random—this was ground zero for atomic weapons development. If you were an outside observer, that’s exactly where your attention would go.

During the war, B-29 crews (including my father on bombing runs over Tokyo) reported what they called “Foo Fighters”—luminous orbs pacing aircraft, maneuvering in ways no known technology could match at the time. These weren’t one-off sightings—they were reported by multiple crews, across missions, and documented.

Fast forward: you have the well-known Roswell recovery, which—depending on how deep you dig—is far more complex than the old “weather balloon” explanation.

Then there are large-scale sightings, like the incident in Brazil (Varginha), where hundreds of witnesses reported events, followed by rapid response from military and reportedly U.S. personnel. That one didn’t happen in a vacuum.

And more recently, you’ve got U.S. Navy pilots on record—under oath before Congress—describing encounters with craft that outperformed anything in our inventory. These aren’t random internet posts; these are trained observers with radar, FLIR, and multiple sensor confirmations.

So is there “proof”? That depends on what standard you’re using.

If you’re waiting for a press conference with a landed craft on display—no, we’re not there.

But if you’re willing to look at consistent patterns, credible witnesses, declassified reports, and decades of similar observations… the evidence is there.

You just have to be willing to dig a little deeper than the headlines.

Or put another way: the proof isn’t missing—it’s just not being handed to you on a silver platter.
Do you think that the military aircrafts and technology were based on something the US government found from aliens? Or their technology?

That’s a great question—and one people have been asking for a long time.

I’ll answer it with an observation from my own life.

When we lived in Tokyo in the late 1950s and early ’60s, we stayed in a traditional Japanese house that occasionally needed maintenance. The furnace needed fuel (yes, Tokyo gets cold), the fish pond needed cleaning—normal things.

What struck me was how the work got done.

The crews would arrive in teams, and each person had a very specific role. One guy handled the tools, another opened and closed doors, one or two did the actual repair work—and one man carried a sketchbook. His job was to carefully draw every American-made appliance in sight.

Those sketches didn’t just disappear into a drawer—they became products made in Japan and eventually sold back to the West.

So do I think Japan’s post-war industrial boom was helped by exposure to foreign technology? Absolutely.

Now, bring that idea forward.

If any government had access to technology even slightly ahead of its time—whether foreign, captured, or something more exotic—would they study it, reverse-engineer it, and incorporate what they could?

History suggests the answer is yes.

How far that goes is the real question.

Because one thing we know for certain—nobody ignores a technological advantage once they’ve seen it.

Yes I believe they found some technology and reversed engineered it. Look at all the military aircraft. Those stealth bombers when they came out was ahead of its time. Once they have the edge there is no turning back. The advance in technology now keeps speeding up. Look at Space X.
