I was reading about how there were soooo many ufo sightings in the US in the 1950s.
I was wondering if anyone has made the connection to the fact the mankind in the 50 years following have made more technological advancements than we have in the last 1000 or ever, why the sudden awakining of knowledge?
Is there a connection?

Interesting question., Looks like it tho. Wonder what another 50 years will produce if we ever suvive it. Ofcourse I shall never know as I would be long gone.
well define 'first sighting'?
If you are referring to Kenneth Arnold's sighting on June 24th 1947, then you will have to re-look at the UFO phenomenon.
UFO visionaries such as Jacques Vallee have found reported sightings that stretch back into the Middle Ages.
As for the sudden awakening of knowledge...
all it takes is one domino to knock them all down. Einstein was postulating advanced theories in Gravity and the universe long before modern UFO sightings. Actually, as a precursor to anything Einsten did, the theory of Quantum Mechanics was first derived in 1900.
What you are referring to of course is the expolsion of technology...but you need to look at it from this apsect:
Was it the 1950's when technology truly leapt and bounded? or was it the advent of the microchip in the 70's? All it took was one idea and the domino effect took hold.
As for the original question....it's laughable.
human beings have used the same principles for thousands of years, it was the advent of the microchip in the 70's that allowed us to explore those principles to the nth degree. Not alien technology.
