If we were to know how to control these Neutrinos (as we now know how to control Nuclear Fission in a Nuclear Reactor) then maybe we can direct these Neutrinos to the right destination where it will be converted back to its original form.

Since the black hole dust is to small to absorb the light photons, it has to be ejected from the baseplate, from some kind of emitter, that provides thrust for the starship, at the speed of light from the spent photons.

Oops! To get thrust by emitting something, the something needs mass. And photons are massless. Therefore, their rest energy equals their inertial energy. But no mass. A jet or a rocket obtains thrust by emitting particles that have mass.

A light photon is still a particle, which a black hole has enough gravitatonal pull to suck that photon into its Event Horizion. If a photon has no mass, why can a black hole pull that light photon? On a few giant black holes the photons are ejected from the black hole. The Higgs boson effect, if proven by the Cern, could give the light photons a false sense of mass. What about the photon engines that are proposed for planetary travel by the U.S.?
Do you really have enough time for a full course in general relativity? A black hole does not "suck" in a photon because of any photon mass. The mass of a black hole warps space-time to such an extent that even at c, it can't escape. I'm sure I don't need to do the math for you to show the difference in photon spheres between Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes
And noone has promoted a "photon" propulsion system with a straight face since it was shown that the Sanger engine had prohibitive collimazation problems, even using matter-antimatter gamma ray photon generation. Interest now is with ion or plasma propulsion.

I believe the flying saucer technology is a smoke screen for the actual technology. From my research on UFOs, most of the so called flying saucers have turned out to be Military Projects such as the drones that are now coming to commercial production.
And even if suppose the flying saucers are Alien Spacecrafts, the technology would certainly be different from the one used for Inter-Stellar or Space Time Travel.
Maybe the UFOs are robotic probing spacecrafts like the drones we use in Afghanistan / Iran not the top end Alien Technology.
So even if they are captured, their latest technology is always safe.
