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.
