Unless we are don't know some very basic things about physics yet,
and that is pretty much certain.
We don't know what 95% of the Universe is even made of yet.
"The Dalnegorsk object," wrote Rylkin, "represents a plasma formation on the base of electromagnetical structure -- called 'plasmoid' -- whose trajectory passed over geological breaking and parallel to high-voltage electrotransmission line. It is supposed that this plasmoid absorbed selectively some chemical elements -- for example, the noble and rare metals.

well, we do know some basic things about physics, such as e=mc2. not sure how our ignorance of the nature of dark energy and dark matter calls this into question

yes, i'm aware of that - in fact, i pointed that out to someone on this very site a while back
I was impressed by the possibility that a non-universal isotope ratio might be the cause of the weight discrepancy. If so, it would also explain the purity from other elements. This would be strong evidence of extra-terrestrial manufacture because, even now, the only isotopes to have been separated on a significant scale are those of uranium 235 and 238.
I would guess—just hypothesis-- that “they” (an advanced civilization that we might infer can accomplish some of the feats observed by the pilots) understand the subtleties of isotopes and design with all 253 stable isotopes.
The meta materials “they” could design would be more subtle and likely encompass a greater understanding of reality and physics than we know now.
These are not your grandma's alloys. If these materials truly exist-- they are going to be found to be meta materials. Though I call them meta materials-- it's really for lack of a better term.
They are probably even more engineered and subtle than that. The science of meta materials is only a few decades old, but there is a whole ecosystem of new journals growing up around their unexpected and wondrous properties.
One way to think about meta materials is that is, basically, quantum engineering—working with “normal” matter in a way that takes advantage of properties we don’t fully appreciate yet.

it might as well be anyone commenting...
What changes if the world suddenly believes that ET are here?
I'm not making these points to bolster/defend or agree with Nolan's thoughts. They're to explain why we shouldn't be too quick to dismiss people.

i don't think they are trying to convince 'the world' - just enough people (of a certain type maybe) to be 'useful'
to what end? run-of-the-mill intelligence work would be my guess
According to the exhibit's description, scientific tests on the UFO materials revealed bizarre behavior: "Three Soviet academic centers and 11 research institutes analyzed the objects from this UFO crash. The distance between atoms is different from ordinary iron. Radar cannot be reflected from the material. Elements in the material may disappear and new ones appear after heating. One piece disappeared completely in front of four witnesses. The core of the material is composed of a substance with anti-gravitational properties."
"I don’t think the Russian scientists ever said it was out-of-this-world, but it had unusual properties. Some of the stuff went to academies and it never came back," Knapp added.

It's interesting how small pieces of the Dalnegorsk object ended up in Nevada at the National Atomic Testing Museum, Las Vegas in 2012. They were even displayed as an "Authentic Alien Artifact".
Speaking of alleged UFO artifacts in Las Vegas, I wrote in my Psychic Vibrations column (Skeptical Inquirer), January/February, 2013, concerning a UFO discussion panel held at the The National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas. They had a special exhibit on "Area 51."
During the question and answer session, Las Vegas skeptic John Whiteside asked about the supposed “authentic alien artifact” in the Area 51 exhibit. The moderator referred the question to reporter George Knapp, in the audience, who (scandalously) was the source of that “artifact.” Knapp has made a career out of reporting on weird stuff like alleged saucers at Area 51, Robert Bigelow’s Haunted Ranch in Utah, etc. Who had verified that supposed artifact? The Russians, and others. Who exactly? No answer. The moderator encouraged the two to take the discussion off-line afterwards. Immediately after the close of the questions, Whiteside says he was approached by Jim Brown who identified himself as the Acting Director of the Museum. Brown berated him for asking such a question, claiming that it threatened their funding. If a Museum’s funding is threatened by asking a legitimate question, the fault lies not with the questioner, but with the Museum. Whiteside went looking for Knapp after this, no more than five minutes later, to find that he had quietly slipped out the door.
I'm thinking it's very likely that this was one of the same "UFO artifacts" that Bigelow had. If so, one would scarcely need to modify any buildings to house it.
