I don't believe that there are any alien vessels, intact or otherwise. But I would imagine that a superpower with global reach and a stealth program could (and would) gather craft before the countries where they were located knew they were there.

Me neither, but as the saying goes: “i want to believe”. Guaranteed there’s nothing more than a guy that’s either crazy or marketing a book.

By traveling to china or russia and snatching ufos from right under their nose? I doubt it. I think if anything remotely alien would visit earth everyone would know.


Right, America has trouble retrieving it's own equipment when it is downed near (not in) adversarial territory. That's with the advantage of knowing exactly when and where the equipment went down and with the benefit of advanced planning for a potential recovery.

There's no way they are suddenly so much more competent when the downed equipment is "alien." If this stuff is so easily tracked, then it's not so easily hidden from the public.

And if this stuff went down in a smaller country, you can bet there are plenty of people out there ready and willing to pay for it just because. We have difficulty enough charging wealthy people with real crimes, much less putting them away for buying alien technology.


Maybe Afghanistan? OK this is sci fi materials...
