La Huella OVNI: What is reverse engineering?

Jorge Luis Sucksdorf talks about reverse engineering in La Huella OVNI.

People chat about how it’s used with alien stuff.

Some think there’s alien tech on Earth.

Engineers use reverse engineering, also known as back engineering, to carefully look at and take apart things to see how they work.

In many jobs, they use this way to see how old products work and use what they learn to make them better or make new ones like them.

Some people think that big countries might be looking at stuff from space that landed on Earth.

Some think that these countries want to use space tech for themselves.

Reverse engineering and Roswell

There’s a story from 1947 in Roswell, where people think a spaceship from space crashed. This story makes people wonder if we’re learning from space tech.

From the 1940s until now, our tech has gotten a lot better.

In this time, we’ve seen a lot of new tech, more than in a long, long time.

New stuff like the Internet, phones, and computer parts make us wonder where they came from.

People like Bob Lazar say they’ve worked with reverse engineering on space tech in secret places. These stories make some believe we’re learning from space tech.

Even though these statements aren’t strongly supported and cause debates, they push the idea of getting new tech by looking into unknown ships.

A man from Britain, Gary McKinnon, says he found out that the US has space tech.

But there’s no strong proof, so some people don’t believe it.

Space travelers, like Edgar Mitchell, have shared concerns about where some of our tools come from, suggesting they might not all be made by people.

Groups like the Disclosure Project and thinkers like Alfred Weber think that high-tech tools could come from things in space.

People guess that reverse engineering has given us tools like cooking microwaves, basic computer parts, thin glass wires, and other common tools.

Many think these tools come from space things we found and took apart.

There are stories and talks about learning from back engineering and space tech.

But without real proof, some people just guess or don’t believe it.

Learning from reverse engineering is important in many jobs, but we’re not sure if it’s connected to space tech.

Jorge Luis Sucksdorf tells us to think freely and be open to new ideas.
