The question is "What space-alien tech?" and nothing more.
No. That has nothing to do with the question.
Our military claims that there is no alien tech.
It claims that the UFOs in question are actual vehicles built by rival earth powers- and claims that said powers did it without kidnapping aliens, or 'reverse engineering alien tech' or whatever.
Ergo our military is claiming that Russia or Iran are more advanced (by centuries) in technology than we are.
So the question is 'how likely is that claim to be true?'. That some rival terrestrial nation could be so advanced that its building aircraft that defy Newtonian physics, and we Americans cant equal it?'
