i think that conspiracy theories are more about feeling special about knowing some secret knowledge, lots of people fall for this and even create conspiracy theories without realizing, no matter how smart they are

    Kelly johnson designed the SR71 Blackbird because he was given the alien tech from rosswell new mexico to reverse engineer! No other way could the government trust 1 man with a blank check book and complete authority and have the plane designed and flying in such a short amount of time!

    -my favorite conspiracy theory

    If it wasn't alien tech, we would've built a faster plane by now.

    (I get that you're playing into the conspiracy) the reason we haven't is speed isn't good enough anymore, you cannot build a plane that can outrun a missile

    So the focus changed to stealth
