Then, not long after Roswell, there were major breakthroughs in transistor technology, unlike anything the world had ever seen before.

And transistors were the key building blocks in the electronic revolution that followed.

But is it possible that transistors were only the beginning of a tech revolution brought about by contact with UFOs?

In January 1958 10 years after Roswell, President Eisenhower goes before Congress calling for increased funding for the sciences and space research.

We must be forward looking in our research and develop to anticipate and a cheese the unimagined weapons of the future.

One significant result of the speech is the creation of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known as DARPA.

Darfur is an agency charged with developing new technologies, usually ones that will have military applications and really pushing the boundaries and expanding the frontiers off science in the same year is Eisenhower's speech.

DARPA manages rocket development programs that proved to be long lived and far reaching, leading to manned space flights and lunar landings.

DARPA has got to be one of the most mysterious single units of government RND research and development.

Things that they have done the public today can't live without in the 19 sixties, never before imagined.

DARPA innovations include the AARP Annette, the network that became the basis of the Internet, and supercomputers that perform calculations billions of times faster than a human brain.

So basically, we go from simple adding machines to advanced technology.

Why did we make these changes so quickly?

And where did this technology come from?

A lot of researchers believe that pace has been so fast that it seems almost unnatural.

It's as if it came from somewhere else.

And, of course, those people say, Well, it did.
