My great uncle was an engineer at Wright-Patterson air force base. Dead now, he once claimed that the Roswell crash was sent to Wright Patterson, and was ultimately responsible for the funding of Area 51, but before the 50's Area 51 did not exist.
He also claimed to have seen the craft, and some of the technology reproduced from it, as well as one of the actual bodies.
My dad recalls when he broke down and spilled the beans long after he retired, during a thanksgiving watching something like Unsolved Mysteries. It all started with one person saying that they didn't believe in UFO's.
The common claim is well why don't we have UFO's of our own by now. Well imagine going back a thousand years and handing someone a car. How long would it take people 1,000 years ago, to reverse engineer something they do not understand.
They would more than likely use things from the car, and improve on what they already had. Understanding nuts and bolts would come before coilover shocks, and those would come before understanding internal combustion or electricity. Some claim microwaves, microchip, optic fibers, and now as recent as nanotubes, are all reverse engineered from the roswell crash.
Comparing the first 50 years of the 20th, to the second 50 years of the 20th it's amazing how much technology has advanced.
