Investigative journalist Mr. Ross Coulthart on NewsNation: “A few years ago, I had an opportunity to introduce David Grusch to someone who'd been in a very senior role, a very senior role at NASA. And because they both had the right security clearances, David gave that person an indication of what he knew about the Legacy Program and the retrieval of non-human technology and efforts to reverse engineer that technology. And I can remember the former NASA person said to me in some frustration afterwards, ‘If this is true, I've just wasted the last 50, 60 years of my life.’” […] ”Do you believe there is such an effort going on? Do you believe that there are sections of the United States government working in collusion with private military contractors to reverse engineer non-human technology?” Dr. Anna Brady-Estevez of the National Science Foundation: ”I mean I would hope that there have been efforts, and I mean it's been disclosed by many people that there are. I mean I've personally seen advanced craft… So I do believe that there's access to that both in the United States and other places, and so the most normal thing is that engineers and scientists are going to reverse engineer and forward engineer.” Mr. Coulthart: “Isn't it pretty dumb then to be focusing a moon mission, landing something on the moon using technologies that are now probably superseded by something in the black?” Dr. Brady-Estevez: “I think it depends on what's available, but I mean, I'm definitely somebody who's pushing to get access to the most advanced technologies we have and to see how they can be broadly utilized.” submitted by /u/KOOKOOOOM [link] [comments]
