Well we definitely discovered stealth flight from UFO technology, that is an accomplished fact. How to fly in and not be detected by radar, so it's hard to know what the current relationship is.
its taken nearly 2000 years to get from nothing to using horse and cart as our most advanced technology and now within just the last 60 years our technology has advanced without any limits, have we advanced this much through help from an extraterrestrial race or is it just a natural progression of human evolvement? i would have to say an intervention of some sort but nobody in the civilised world could answer this apart from governments and the military.

Something I found some time ago and found it rather interesting....as authors and Sci/fi often give the inventor ideas ...
For years, science fiction writers have been a source of inspiration for real-life technological advances. As Jules Verne’s Nautilus, the famous submarine from his novel, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, served to motivate numerous inventors and scientists to further underwater exploration, so, apparently, has the Star Trek industry stirred creative juices. Today, we see abundant evidence that Kirk and his crew once ventured where almost everybody has now gone. Here are several examples of Star Trek technology we use today.
Large-Screen Television – A large-screen monitor was constantly in use on the bridge of the starship Enterprise, not for entertainment purposes, but for strategic use. Prior to Star Trek, science fiction author Ray Bradbury made use of huge screens in his famous novel, Fahrenheit 451. Now, of course, we practically take big screens for granted. Wireless Headsets – On Star Trek, Uhura, Spock and Chekhov often wore wireless headsets, comparable to today’s Blue-Tooth technology. Hypospray – The hypospray was a needle-free device that could subcutaneously inject drugs using forced air. Now, though not yet in widespread use, forced nitrogen and forced liquids help deliver medications that fight migraines, and high-risk diseases such as hepatitis and HIV infections. Tri-corder – The term “tri-corder” referred to a series of devices, some hand held, that recorded and analyzed three types of data: geological, meteorological and biological. One prominent example, in use today, is the ubiquitous bedside monitor seen in almost every hospital in the world. Personal Computers – the entire starship fleet was equipped with no-keyboard computers, many similar in size and function to what we find in today’s market place. Tablet Computers – Kirk was often seen, using a stylus and a small computer pad (actually called a PADD), signing commands and instructions. Tablet computers and smart-phones are popular items now used world-wide. Teleporters – We aren’t quite there yet, but we do use aspects of the teleporter in our GPS, or “Global Positioning Systems”. Scotty needed to know exactly where he was going to teleport someone to and/or from, which presaged all those little Tom-Tom voices that help us find Thai restaurants, and steer us around traffic jams today. Biometrics – Voice-, palm-, and retinal-scanners were utilized in numerous episodes, and now we use this technology for a variety of purposes. Modern forensics would be lost without these scanners. Communicators – Kirk and crew were frequently spotted using small hand held devices that they simply flipped open, and spoke into, communicating with other members of the crew. Rare, now, is the day we aren’t annoyed by a swerving driver who is paying more attention to his cell phone than to the road ahead. Venus Drug – An illegal chemical substance possessed by intergalactic ne’er-do-well Harcourt Fenton Mudd, which contained properties that would make women more physically attractive. Although Mudd’s nefarious plans were thwarted by Kirk, who was able to show that beauty was more than skin-deep, much of today’s cosmetic science is devoted to the enhancement of perceived physical beauty.
excellent point, but have you ever thought where the components inside of these types of technology come from and how they managed to create them, what im trying to say is that back engineering is a possibility on most of the gadgets that we see today.
I think Man is very able to come up with these things on our own .( altho nothing is for certain)..
Take history of man ...we went from hunter/gatherer to the first flight where ever and whoever had the first flight millions of years to achieve...and then when the world saw that flight was NOT impossible in less than 200 years put man on the moon and space exploration was achieved.....once something that was seen as a fantasy become a reality them a lot of people everywhere work at improving the new invention and advancements comes more rapid.
One can only DREAM of what the next 200 years will bring as we now see everything possible or at least worthy of looking into and see where it brings us.
Do not under estimate the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the human race ...
carlosweb10: It is not a kind of belief (Whether you believe it or not doesn´t mind).It´s real the evidence and you don´t need to ask for more facts. Life may have come from space too. But, what about the Alien´s presence and dissappearence from us?
I think they are here just to get a better book deal !
I believe that many of our devices and toys today may indeed have e.t. involvement and I also believe that through creativeness of humans we adapted and expanded on much of it as well as come up with a few of our own. As far as their intentions on Earth are, well, wouldn't you want to keep an eye on a potentialy nightmarish species that is capeable of untold horrific destruction to its own enviroment and other creatures as well as to itself. Not to mention a species that eats just about anything. If I were part of an alien race, I'd be very worried about humans finding a way to other star systems, especialy if the race I was part of tasted like chicken

The Aliens are here,on thid very Forum..disguised as McPats...their intentions?To cause havoc and misery of course..
Sorry Grizzy but I didn't read your post. It seems that people want to think that if aliens do come here they will be friendly little green people as portrayed in "The Third Kind".
I don't believe in UFO's or aliens BUT if they prove to be real I think they will be big ugly things with arms, legs, horns, tongues, eyes and fire and will not lose the fight with us. I believe they will not be friendly so I think we should just leave well enough alone.
The Day The Earth Stood Still (the original) showed the alien as being a man that looked like any other man. The story in that movie was that we were destroying ourselves and the aliens came here to take earth away from us.
To all of the hard-core religious people of all faiths (and those of no faith) God created lots of life in the universe ranging from very inteligent to the very basic. What makes us so interesting to the is that God only gave free will to humans and angels...do you believe in little green creatures with antennas on their heads on a planet in space?...no?...explain the grasshopper; little green creature with antennas on its head on a planet in space...hmmmm
how do I know this? I could be an alien, or I could be an angel...maybe you are to
