Wer underscores the geopolitical stakes: China and Russia are believed to be secretly advancing hypersonic weapons and aerospace technology. China's recent showcase of stealth drones and sixth-generation fighter mockups at air shows demonstrates a push towards revolutionary military platforms. These developments may involve exotic propulsion or meta-materials, far ahead of publicly available U.S. technology.
The concern isn't necessarily aliens at all but adversary nations’ mastery over these emerging capabilities. The potential for stealthy, high-speed craft with anti-gravity-like properties, developed in secrecy, shifts the strategic balance, prompting ongoing efforts to understand and counter these advancements.
