exotic materials

In ufology, a term for any "other-worldly" metals, alloys, substances, and artifacts allegedly retrieved by military and intelligence agencies from crashed UFOs. Once retrieved, the materials get stored in undisclosed warehouses and held for top secret scientific study. The efforts to covertly gather, store, and study such materials is believed to have been going on since the 1947 Roswell Incident. It is further alleged that various civilian-run contractors have been routinely executing "crash retrievals" upon the wreckages of downed UFOs for decades now, and have amassed multiple warehouses of these materials. The term "crash retrieval" will typically be used in the same conversation as the term "exotic materials."

The most famous example of an alleged exotic material in UFO lore is probably the "memory metal" which witnesses at Roswell claim littered the debris field of the 1947 crash.

The most important allegation about exotic materials is that supposedly most post-WWII technological breakthroughs --including transistors, semiconductors, microchips, motherboards, photovoltaic solar panels, night vision, heat vision, stealth technology, nano-tech, and the whole US space program-- would not have been possible without decades of access by secrecy-bound research scientists to these untold hauls of crash-retrieved items. The issuing of secret patents early on in the research process of these materials is the true incentive for military contractors to engage in the research.

Government scientists are secretly studying a vast collection of exotic materials that have been retrieved from crashed UFOs over the past 80 years. With each new exotic material they find, these researchers hope to unlock the hidden properties of these items, and derive practical applications (both military and commercial) from their findings.

Exotic Materials at Ambient Temperature and Pressure

Materials that shouldn't exist under normal conditions but somehow do—room-temperature superconductors, stable metallic hydrogen, transparent aluminum, and other substances that would revolutionize everything if they could actually be made. The phrase is scientific shorthand for "things we've theoretically predicted but cannot practically produce," or more cynically, "grant proposals that will be funded for another decade." Exotic materials at ambient temperature and pressure would enable lossless power transmission, hovering vehicles, unbreakable everything, and a permanent place in the Nobel Prize committee's heart. Their absence from your daily life is a reminder that nature doesn't give up its secrets easily, and that "theoretically possible" is not the same as "actually feasible."

Example: "The researcher announced a breakthrough in room-temperature superconductors—exotic materials at ambient temperature and pressure that would transform the world. The stock of every energy company fluctuated wildly. Then the results couldn't be replicated. Then the researcher retired. Then someone else tried and failed. The exotic materials remained exotic—beautiful in theory, absent in practice."
