I would very much appreciate having these ideas falsified, they are an attempt to read the "fossil record" of 20th century culture. If I am plain wrong because of bias, do tell, it is not in my self-interest to follow false ideas

Using memetics to make sense of conspiracies in the 20th century

The reason Einstein became iconic is because the advent of nuclear weapons, like when our ancestors first mastered fire at the Plio-Pleistocene boundary, became a central theme in human culture and the meme pool re-organized around it (the "big bang" as a creation story coined by Fred Hoyle in 1949, the "big explosion that started it all", as one example, memetic schelling points. ) Nikola Tesla, who is today recognized as the Da Vinci of last century, was forgotten for the same reason, attention was directed elsewhere, through trust being oriented along a "phobeplexa" where fear of nuclear weapons was the root memeplex, co-opting genetic imperatives for survival, based on how memes that are loudest in ordering genes to replicate them have a survival advantage (compare with how the Abrahamitic story of hell propagated through threatening annihilation of genes. )

With the Roswell event in June 1947, the CIA was instituted three months later in September 1947 (from the remnants of the OSS, a war-time institution dissolved in 1945) to manage secrecy around the flying saucer technology, memetically originated in Nazi Germany. The exact reason Nazi Germany developed that technology first, was because all countries west of Germany invested massive amounts of resources in it to build up a "wall" against the USSR, rooted in fear. How the technology ended up in the USA was because it was acquired in a raid, operation paperclip.

The exact reason the USA kept their acquired flying saucer technology secret was to maintain a competitive edge in military technology, and the technology itself has nothing mythical about it, it is just an invention akin to the airplane or the automobile, and the evolutionary history of the ideas around it can be traced back to concepts from Nikola Tesla, very similar to how Leonardo Da Vinci conceptualized the helicopter in the 16th century.

Edgar Mitchell from Apollo 14 testifies in the video below to how they are "alien technology", no need for alien technology, just very simple human technology that happened to be forgotten or largely ignored because of genetic bias, not by planning or intent, just dumbness (lack of resources is another way to phrase it. )

The regime-coup in the USA in 1963, and the human species extending out into the solar system

John F Kennedy's famous speech at Rice University in 1962, on the vision to put a man on the moon, and how that goal, will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, had an intent to also open up the secrecy around the USA's flying saucer technology.

That Kennedy tried to maintain openness always, was what got him assassinated in the regime-coup that was carried out by the exact same people who went into power afterwards, a natural result of genetic bias, fear mostly which is a very strong imperative.

As a society in free fall, the USA was willing to take risks that the USSR would not, they were highly competitive, and succeeded with 6 out of 7 Apollo moon landings during the Nixon administration, only to collapse into the "war on drugs" in 1971 as a result of growing too much too fast, an example of how culture and technology evolves through cyclical phases.

With the ARPANET project having been initiated in 1969, triggered by the OGAS project in the USSR that was launched in 1962, in turn inspired by USA citizen Norbert Wiener's Cybernetics from 1948, a new stage of cultural and technological evolution began, which came to dominate the following century.

Hidden in plain sight, genetic bias, trust and attention

Memetic cognition is relatively young, it has gradually been selected for in an evolutionary process that stretches from the Pleistocene around 2.5 million years ago up to the present, and is currently rapidly being augmented with information technology such as computers and the internet. Among the conspiracy theories that circulate in society, the cover-up of flying saucer technology (indirect, always, a natural self-organization, as in no planning or intent) is one that almost no one has heard about, our genes, so to say, have not been able to even have a conversation about it, whereas the false theory that the moon landings were faked has had a large spread memetically.

That gravity is electromagnetic is easy to see for anyone who is paying attention, yet, Newton's 400 year old model that uses mass, which approximated Coulomb's law a hundred years before that and was conceived in a world where there was no electricity, has been the dominant narrative throughout the 20th century and well into the 21st. The reason is probably that electricity as a phenomena is difficult to understand, it is difficult to touch or see and so therefore hard to get a feeling for.

Since meme pools form through multi-level selection and inclusive fitness, ideas that are far from whatever are the lowest common denominators within a society tend to not spread very well, and a world where people continued to believe that gravity is a product of mass is not a good medium to propagate the idea of "anti gravity" propulsion. The lack of literacy in that field overall means a lack of public oversight, and, the possibility that flying saucer technology ended up being forgotten as a result of dumbness.

So has flying saucer been hidden in plain sight, as a result of dumbness? I think it is very possible, but I am as biased as anyone else, the human condition is to be biased. I know that I'm very capable of developing accurate scientific models and all that, but I also know that I can fall for false beliefs, so any easy proof against the idea is appreciated (of course, if the idea is nonsense to begin with, it can be difficult or impossible to disprove because it is nonsensical. )

One memetic trail that points to that the idea may be true, is that both NASA and the CIA were clearly out of control in the early 2010s, and acting in ways that an institution under public oversight never would, so I first reflected on wether it was because the Apollo program was faked, and then what was left that those two have in common was the idea that flying saucer technology was invented, and forgotten, a perfect fit actually, and the idea is very much unheard of, out of sight.

When a monopoly on violence is used as the lowest common denominator, supremacy on knowledge is selected for, the notion of "divide et impera", and that contributes to ideas being neglected just to maintain consensus, to prove authority (through a display of dominance under the monopoly on violence) within that particular consensus structure. That means that the incentives and deterrents are aligned so that highly beneficial ideas could be rejected, in cultural evolution, simply as a result of dumbness within society as a whole.
