Are We Watched? NASA Engineer’s Disclosure of Global Extraterrestrial Tech

In a recent NASA-affiliated podcast, a revelation slipped quietly into the public domain, barely noticed by mainstream audiences. The CEO of Field Propulsion Technologies, an electrical engineer with 40 years of experience in advanced technology and reverse engineering, shared insights about materials that defy human understanding.
These materials, described as intelligent and potentially extraterrestrial, may be scattered across the globe in the trillions, forming a hidden network with capabilities far beyond current science.
Richard Banduric, CEO of Field Propulsion Technologies, recently appeared as a guest on the Ecosystemic Futures Podcast (episode 69 at the 1h57 mark), where he shared some interesting information regarding the reverse engineering of technology not made by human beings.
“Forty years ago, I was involved in a company, part owner, that used to do reverse engineering,” aerospace engineer Richard Banduric, a professional with a background in Lockheed systems and flight software for NASA’s Europa Clipper mission, said. This work led him to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) attempting to decode advanced technologies, igniting his curiosity about materials that were “definitely way more advanced than we actually have.”
His career trajectory took him through classified programs, DARPA projects, and collaborations with the National Science Foundation (NSF), where he explored propulsion technologies inspired by these mysterious materials.
During the podcast, the engineer described encounters with materials that exhibited astonishing properties. “We were looking at very little things that seem to be deposited all over the world,” he stated.
“There are probably trillions of these things that are deposited, and they have all sorts of functions.” These materials, he claimed, are not inert but intelligent, capable of communicating with one another, reconfiguring themselves, and even cloaking to avoid detection.
“The ones that would work, we would never be able to find because they would cloak themselves or reconfigure,” he noted.
When examined, these materials displayed behaviors that challenge conventional science. “When you’d be looking at them and trying to reverse engineer them, they would turn to dust,” he explained.
“You could take the dust, send it off, and get isotopic analysis done on it. It turned out they were extraterrestrial.” Under a microscope, these materials revealed “very small particles that seem to be communicating with one another,” suggesting computational functionality within their subunits.
In one striking experiment, a sliver of this material was placed on a 3,000-degree surface. “What it would do is cool the surface around itself,” he said.
“Then, when we took the device off and weighed it again, we found that the mass would be reduced by a certain amount.” Such properties—self-cooling, mass reduction, and reconfiguration—point to technology “hundreds of years ahead of us.”
“This really implies that maybe this group is actually manipulating our species,” he speculated, hinting at a post-biological surveillance or sensing system.
While some particles were “broken” and detectable, others likely remain invisible, blending into their environment to evade study. “You can still acquire them if you know where to look,” he added, suggesting that these materials are ubiquitous yet elusive.
The engineer described work with DARPA and the NSF on composite conductors—materials that are neither fully conductors nor insulators—that could generate significant forces through accelerated charges in nanoparticles.
“We could generate an external force or a very large force,” he said. This work, now in Phase Two with the NSF, aims to harness these forces for propulsion, potentially revolutionizing technology within the next decade.
The engineer also shared observations of large, triangular craft that could “disappear on a dime.” He described their cloaking mechanism: “It appeared to be that these triangles were taking whatever was behind them and actually projecting it in front of them,” effectively bending light to become invisible.
However, he noted imperfections in this cloaking, suggesting that the projected image wasn’t always identical to the background, offering a potential way to track such craft.
“We’re pretty sure that what comes out of the ends of an antenna… you could actually see an electric field associated with these potentials,” he said.
This radiation, distinct from traditional electromagnetic fields, could be measured with an electric field meter, opening new avenues for detecting such technologies. The Air Force, he noted, is interested in measuring this field, which may exert pressure or manipulate objects in subtle ways.
“They’re probably using their methods or their technologies to try to keep us from… exploring how they work,” he said, citing the materials’ tendency to disintegrate when studied. This protective mechanism ensures that only “broken” samples, which fail to cloak or reconfigure, can be analyzed, leaving the most advanced systems out of reach.
What makes this disclosure even more striking is the reaction—or lack thereof—from Hal Puthoff, a physicist with a long history of working on advanced technology projects for DARPA, NASA, and the Department of Energy.
Speaking alongside other researchers, including Puthoff, he described these findings as if they were common knowledge within certain circles. Puthoff, sitting across from Banduric, simply nodded, offering no skepticism or surprise. His agreement suggests that this isn’t news to those in the know.
Banduric’s claims point to a reality where Earth may already be embedded with a vast network of intelligent, self-modifying materials. These “subunits,” as he called them, appear to have computational functionality, communicating with one another and adapting to their environment. Some are broken, allowing researchers to study them.
The public often expects “disclosure” to come with fanfare. Instead, it’s slipping out in dry, technical discussions like this one, buried in podcasts that few people hear.
The conversation unfolded as if the public was already aware of these findings. But most of us aren’t.
