You can't answer how the paint on stealth aircraft works. A saucer by design emits a very low radar signature, just like a flying V.
Splitting an atom is well documented? I've never looked into that one but if you can show me where it says, "how to split an atom" I'd be interested.
We're talking about a time when reliable atomization of fuel in vehicles was shakey, and an ignition system that lasted longer than a few thousand miles didn't exist. Maybe we should've put Einstein on the case of automobiles and engineering instead?

Not everyone was impressed by the Hopeless Diamond. Lockheed's prestigious Kelly Johnson disliked it, likely on the traditional aircraft designer's belief that "no aircraft that looked that ugly could possibly be any good." Johnson favored a flying-saucer-like design, but nobody could figure out how to make a saucer shape fly very well, and Rich commented later: "The Martians wouldn't tell us." To strengthen his case, Rich had a three meter (ten foot) sized mockup of the Hopeless Diamond built and tested against radar in September 1975. The RCS proved to be as small as predicted.
...Real as the previous example. Unusual feature: the reflected energy is reflected in another direction. Well, the transmitting radar cannot receive this energy. Therefore there are bistatic radars at which the transmitter and the receivers are separated from each other spatially.

The only reason we do not use the saucer design is that we are too stupid to make it fly. It's more perfect for the job than the f-117, provided you can make it fly and detect incoming radar quickly.

A knife edged flat saucer with it's sides pointed directly towards the incoming radar couldn't be detected.edit on 1-8-2012 by AnarchysAngel because: (no reason given)

Other possibility: These aliens are not here for invasion but for help. I that case, they would help governments figuring out new tech, but also keep it secret from the public to avoid global anarchy.
And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, 'Armârôs the resolving of enchantments, Barâqîjâl (taught) astrology, Kôkabêl the constellations, Êzêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the signs of the sun, and Sariêl the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven...
