Why is nobody in this community actually studying what black project engineers have been working on for the past 80 years?

This community does a great job tracking testimony, legislation, and official acknowledgment of UFOs but the engineering layer almost never gets discussed here. In my opinion, even if the government were to fully disclose NHI's presence here on Earth, it wouldn't move the needle amongst the general populace. The critical question that would actually impact everyone's lives is what their energy source is and how they get around.

If these craft are real, someone/something built them or reverse-engineered them. And honestly, after 80 years of these UFO stories, it would be pretty naive to think no progress has been made on that front by the US. The black world has had decades and virtually unlimited black budget resources to work with (I think that's well agreed upon in this sub). People like Hal Puthoff, Eric Davis, Tom Bearden, Eugene Podkletnov, T.T. Brown, John Cramer, David Froning, Pharis Williams were physicists/engineers with serious institutional footprints working on field propulsion, zero-point energy, and non-conventional spacetime physics. Yet the big UFO influencers (and this sub) are still focused on secondhand stories and how many alien species there are. Almost nobody is seriously asking how they work and backing it up with actual technical research.

There are a few independent researchers trying to fill that gap and I think they deserve more attention in spaces like this one.

HOT TAKE: Ashton Forbes is one of them. Whatever you think of his specific cases or approach, his focus on the technical lineage of advanced aerospace programs is the kind of work that will actually matter if disclosure ever becomes something more than a political spectacle. I have personally learned a ton of physics in the past year thanks to him and I fully believe that if others took a similar approach, we would all be better off. Disclosure would be in OUR hands rather than the government approved spokesmen.

I would love to know if others in this sub are also following the engineering side of this conversation and if there are other 'influencers' doing serious technical work in this space?

Looking forward to what you all have to say!
