I firmly believe that is by design. We have too many oil companies and too many holes in the ground to give up on fossil fuels. There is too much money to be made with fossil fuels. If ET's have given us "help" regarding other technology, then they have to be laughing their asses off at the combustion engine.

Very good thread, and well put together. There is much to think about here, as you're right, there have been a huge influx in technological breakthroughs. Who am I to argue that it cannot be reverse-engineering at work here?

Oh noes. Humans advancing faster? MUST BE ALIENS.
Please. If you have no faith in your own species' abilities, then at least prove why you think this way.
All technology is this way. It is invented, established, and then replaced by something revolutionary.
If its functional it works.
Do tell. is there any example of alien technology being beyond what is currently known to science?edit on 4-3-2011 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)

Very interesting thread and regardless of how a person feels about UFO's and Aliens, it is pretty tough to deny the very sudden leaps and bounds we made in technology.
Churchill and Eisenhower also knew that Hitler, believed in alien life and the occult, which was censored during the war. The thought that Hitler may of somehow had contact with other advanced life forms must have crossed both men's minds. The off the record discussion during this meeting must of been one of the strangest in history.

History channel documentaries are a straight crock. Just checkout the documentary on the freemason. Not to mention the 911 one is laughable. They dont disprove a thing, they just say we like conspiracy theories.

I think many people would be actually surprised to know that most technological breakthroughs came from Nazi scientists, hence the scramble from the Americans and Russians to capture these scientist for their own ends.
The Nazis gave the world jet engines and the rocket technology to reach the moon.....not to mention that the Nazis had designed their own atom bomb and saucer shaped craft that didn't see the light of day.
>> CORSO: We also had a little charred chip, small thing, maybe uh, three-eighths of an inch square, two threads coming out and a little dent in the center with thin wires. 00:28:24 These came from Roswell. 00:28:27 We didn't know exactly the function of those integrated circuitsbubut we suspected that these were circuits, electrical circuits.,, >> NARRATOR: Corso asserts that he brings the object to Bell Labs, which had developed the transistor 14 years earlier. 00:28:46 He says scientists there were able to analyze and later re- create the alien microchip.

Their technology was so much more advanced than the rest of the world. The question here is, where did they get the help from?
I assume you are referring to the Nazis?
In human history there will always be nations and civilisations more advanced than others.
Look at ancient China, Greece. etc etc.
Just like some nations or ethnic/racial groupings are better at certain sports than others.
Take just the example of top heavyweight boxers, the amount of top heavyweight boxers of African decent far outweighs Caucasians........now would anyone seriously argue that this is because those of African decent have been trained by ET!

Hamburg - Transparent aluminium, as strong as metal yet as clear as glass, is a scientific reality and not just a plot device in an old "Star Trek" movie, according to a team of German researchers. In the 1986 movie "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," Scotty travels back in time to show a Silicon Valley engineer how to make "transparent aluminium." In so doing, the intrepid crew of the USS Enterprise are able to save the humpback whale from extinction whilst also saving the Earth of the 23rd century.

Modern rockets were born when Goddard attached a supersonic (de Laval) nozzle to a liquid-fueled rocket engine's combustion chamber. These nozzles turn the hot gas from the combustion chamber into a cooler, hypersonic, highly directed jet of gas, more than doubling the thrust and raising the engine efficiency from 2% to 64%.[34][35] In 1926, Robert Goddard launched the world's first liquid-fueled rocket in Auburn, Massachusetts.

uhh... Nazi scientist's contribution to science and tech is vastly overrated.
They made many "discoveries" that didn't do much good to mankind and society, like shock therapy, chemical weaponry and pharmaceutical treatments that all became more or less controversial. They were making these experiments "hardcore" way, on people in death camps to see the results, regardless of the harms to the life of these people. I really doubt such unethical, deadly practices can be justified with scientific progress!
