to respond to the contrary maybe the design criteria of one of these special crafts ' flying saucers ' with an exotic method of power or propulsion are so exacting that you can ' t use them to carry guns or drop explosives on enemies without rendering them nonfunctioning , you can ' t use them as fighters , so they are of little use as anything except i ntelligencereconnaissance they are interesting novelties that represent a modern advancement in our scientific understanding , and the military brass who are in on it know that while it ' s just a novelty right now , it will end up being the next big thing , and they don ' t want it to be out there and available to other nations just in case one of them has an engineer that could figure out a way to use it as a weapon , or a way to modulate the design criteria to allow it to carry guns . There ' s a guy named Bill Uhouse who claims exactly that to have worked on a flying disc simulator engineering program for the Air Force , where he was recruited from his job at Wright Patterson and sent to work with a private engineering company , and then was part of a team to build one of these things for the military . According to him the design is such that you can ' t attach anything extra to them or it will stop it from working properly , so it can ' t be used as a fighter plane , so we still need fighter planes . There are things that make sense out of hiding it like that , they see it having future potential in a weapon system , so just in case , it ' s staying out of sight until they know more or can develop the science themselves until they have a more complete understanding of the implications . The military watched some obscure advances in sciencephysics turn into the most powerful weapons systems known to man , so I ' m sure they ' re prepared for the same thing to happen again . or if we want to go the other way and imagine aliens crashed it , then the same things would be true .
