Milton William Cooper published in 1991 a work that became a cornerstone of modern conspiracy theory. In it, he links UFO presence with alleged secret pacts of the US government, claiming that extraterrestrial entities control hidden agendas. The book mixes historical data, theories, and accusations that still generate debate among skeptics and believers today.
The technology behind the smoke screen 🛸
Cooper argued that the government used recovered extraterrestrial technology to develop advances such as fiber optics and microchips. Although there is no documentary evidence, his account points to a reverse engineering program. Proponents of this theory point to suspicious technological leaps in the 1940s and 1950s, such as the transistor or lasers, as evidence of non-human knowledge leaked to the military industry.

If Cooper was right, the janitor in your building could be a lizard in a suit. The bad news is that he doesn't make an appointment to inspect your fridge. The good news is that, according to the book, at least they have better technology than the latest Windows update. Although, to be honest, with those levels of secrecy, they surely also have terrible technical support.
