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
That we know of
Here's a psychological discussion that expands on that idea: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352250X22000719
Me when I feel like things are okay.
