My father was a weapon system engineer and targeting specialist in the Air Force.... What he told me before he died

As stated before. He helped develop smart bombs, and the targeting system on the F-22. He told me he has traveled to Area-51 before in the past but never told me why. I would always big him to tell me what it was like and he never budged and inch. He had some sort of clearance above top secret and even after he retired, he still received polygraph tests to see if he spilled the beans.

Well, he ended up getting terminal cancer and soon after he would tell me a few things here and there about what he would see and knew. Obviously my first question inwanted answer was " are there really aliens?". He looked me dead in the eyes, with a completely serious expression, he stared for a few seconds and said " absolutely".

Now my curiosity was skyrocketing. I asked more questions but he wouldn't answer. So I left it alone for a while. Doing lots of research on the internet trying to figure out things on my own. A couple months later I asked another question about area-51. I asked if we had UFOs on the base. Once again, he looked me in the eyes and hesitated. He exhaled and said "yes." And to my suprise he went on to say that we have already figured out and already use electro magnetic propulsion in some small objects around the base. Now keep in mind he hasn't been back to the base since before I was born (1992). And he said "by now who knows what more we have figured out". I asked why he went there and he said " maybe another day..."

Skip to "another day" This question never left my mind. So I ask again. This is the last time we talked about this before he passed away. He told me that he and his team would study as much as they could ( he never said on a ship, or with aliens or anything, he just said " study as much as we could") and with the research and knowledge they gained there, they applied it as best they could to modern fighter jets.
As the title says he helped develop the the targeting system for the F-22 raptor. I never asked if they used the knowledge from the base to develop the jet. But my imagination likes to think so.

We never spoke about this subject again. The rest of what he knows is gone forever. I don't expect you to believe this ( I haven't told any of my friends or even my wife for that matter) because the idea is so strange. And who knows. He could have been just lying to me to keep my imagination going. Regardless, they are memories I will never forget.
