This is stolen from an old post of mine but it's still as
relevant as ever...


"Ooparts" are "Out of place artifacts." They are objects
(tech) that should not exist during the period in which
they are dated to.

Most are frauds, btw. The famous "Sparkplug in a rock,"
for example, claims that a 1920s era spark plug was found
inside of 500,000 year old rock. Well. Not only is that
anti climactic -- a 1920s spark plug! -- but we're missing
any humans more sophisticated than Homo erectus. We're
missing any evidence what so every for 1920s level cars to
place spark plugs in. We're missing any evidence for the
exploitation of resources -- the medals, for example -- to
build a 1920s car. We're missing any evidence for the
500k year old foundries to produce this metal, the metal that
was never mined anywhere. We're missing the factories to
turn it into cars. We're missing absolutely everything
STARTING with the people or anything resembling people...

Some OOPARTs -- out of place artifacts -- are real though.
There's the famous antikythera mechanism mechanism, which few
if any doubt is a genuine ancient machine, and the Baghdad
Batteries, which, again, nobody denies are actual ancient
object. These things are NOT what people (mis)represent them
to be but none of the less they are real.

If UFOs were real, we should be swimming in genuine OOPARTs.

Aliens have supposedly been visiting our planet for thousands of
years. Some claim that they've been visiting us for tens of
thousands of years, while others claim that they've been traveling
here since BEFORE we even evolved! Heck, some claim that we didn't
evolve at all, that we were genetically engineered by aliens...

Now, here's the "Evidence" thing...

Part of UFO lore is that UFOs sometimes crash. And not just Roswell,
there's supposedly been a number of other crashes. But we can't see
any of the artifacts because our governments -- greedy for the
technology -- recover everything. They snatch up even the smallest
pieces from a crash site, keeping us ignorant and giving the crony
contractors a massive advantage over everyone else: New tech!

Now, none of this can be true, because if it were than surely UFOs
would have been crashing since before our government or ANY
government existed. There are people who claim that aliens were
already visiting us back during the age of the dinosaurs! So if
they have been coming here for a very long time, maybe orders of
magnitude longer than the genus Homo has even existed, AND it is
possible for them to crash... the earth should be littered with
OOPARTs: Objects and materials that stick out like a sore thumb!

None of it exists.

All though ancient times UFO crash sites should have been revered
as holy places, in much the same way that meteorite landing spots
often were. And the pieces of a UFO would have been revered as
holy relics, sent by the gods above...

A UFO would have literally been a "Chariot of the gods."

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from
magic"

We should have dozens if not many thousands of retrieved pieces
from crashed UFOs in our inventory -- relics gathered over the
eons -- and yet we have none.

If UFOs can crash now they could crash then, back in our ancient
past. Thus, if they were visiting in our past they had to be
crashing in our past, but there is simply no evidence for it.

We should be finding pieces of UFOs strew everywhere from crown
jewels, the tombs of kings and even the halls of our museums.

For Christ's sake, we can plainly identify iron sourced from
meteorites and even glass produced by a meteorite strike within
the tomb of King Tut, but not a piece of alien tech.

If aliens were coming here the OOPARTs should exist SOMEWHERE
and they don't. They don't exist.
