There's no intelligent life form secretly visiting earth and accidentally dropping their amazing technology anywhere. This is just the modern equivalent of "I can't immediately explain this, it must be supernatural!" AKA religion. Please find something better to do with your time.
I know someone who essentially believes in benevolent aliens who want to give us advanced technology to save us from destroying our planet’s ecosphere but who are waiting for NASA to slowly reveal to the public that such aliens exist until the greater public is acclimated enough to the idea so that there isn’t a disruptive massively panic when learning of these aliens. Also, he estimates that the aliens will almost definitely show themselves to the greater public within 50 years, a time span that he is hoping to live long enough to witness his prediction come true.
In other words, these aliens are the science fiction version of the Messiah, but he doesn’t see it fiction, but as fact. And no amount of trying to reasonably challenge him on his interpretations of events UFO enthusiasts and hucksters claim are alien UFO sightings can get him to accept a non-alien cause for them.
