A lot of people speculate that alien technology uses mechanical engineering principles that are unknown to us. The key reason to want to study their tech is to figure out HOW it works. Even if you can't duplicate it, learning how/why it works might teach you how to make something similar." I don't believe we can reverse engineer UFO materials."
Agreed. If you believe UFOs to be alien technology, capable of interplanetary travel, they are so far in advance of our knowledge that it would be the equivalent of giving Alexander Graham Bell an iPhone and expecting him to reverse-engineer that!
Alexander Graham Bell would probably understand the concept of micro-circuitry, but the mechanics of how to make them would probably be outside his comprehension. They don't really require materials he doesn't have, but machinery and tools he doesn't have.
Applying this logic to UFOs... welll… maybe the hulls of UFOs aren't solid metal but an advanced sort of electromechanical propulsion. Kinda like printed circuits or microcircuits, but metal.
