This is the situation I’m leaning towards. Military has been trying unsuccessfully for 80 years to figure it out. An adult finally walks into the room, sees how hopeless their attempts are, and whistleblows.

This 100%. If this turns out to be real, I bet anything that they are clueless how it works, if they can even get it do anything.

As someone who dug deep into the rabbit hole, yes, this is the "in-lore" explanation of it. Apparently a secretive clique in the air force take a group of scientists every few decades to see if any headway can be made into reverse engineering the technology. See "The day before Roswell" from US Colonel Corso Phillip. Epistemic note: the book has been dramatized by the publisher for effect and diverges from Corso's personal notes, and there is some disagreement with the way the story is told from Corso's son. Still, it paints a certain picture of who the major players are behind this alleged once-cover-up and how it apparently played out. Not too sure what to make it but it's a fun sci-fi story nevertheless :)

  The Day After Roswell, Philip Corso, 1998 Backed by documents newly declassified through the Freedom of Information Act, Colonel Philip J. Corso (Ret.), a member of President Eisenhower’s National Security Council and former head of the Foreign Technology Desk in the US Army, has come forward to reveal his personal stewardship of alien artifacts from the Roswell crash. He tells us how he spearheaded the Army’s reverse-engineering project that led to today’s integrated circuit chips, fiber optics, lasers, and super-tenacity fibers, and “seeded” the Roswell alien technology to giants of American industry. Laying bare the US government’s shocking role in the Roswell incident—what was found, the cover-up, and how they used alien artifacts to change the course of twentieth-century history—The Day After Roswell is an extraordinary memoir that not only forces us to reconsider the past, but also our role in the universe. https://www.amazon.com/Day-After-Roswell-Philip-Corso/dp/067101756X https://www.amazon.com/Day-After-Roswell-Philip-Corso/dp/067... The Day Before Roswell, James Easton, 1997 If we accept the Project Mogul explanation as infinitely more likely and supported by the evidence, there is no reason why anyone who was open-minded to the possibilities should feel contrite. So the Army Air Force hadn't actually recovered our popular conception of a flying saucer at all...but that's what was suggested by the press release. And when the issue is confused by a dramatic testimony from such an ostensibly credible witness as Glenn Dennis, it seemed there was a solid foundation to place the further evidence in context. Crash sites galore, wreckage with alien writing, alien bodies recovered and possibly even survivors, autopsies witnessed, a grandiose and cynical cover-up which spanned decades... But it was clearly a specious foundation. All of it. This perception of the Roswell story will be doubtless be an anathema to the Roswell fundamentalists. But it isn't for them, it's for those who are interested in any objective rationalisation of the truth, even, to paraphrase Kent Jeffrey, if it does mean there is no Santa Claus. http://geocitiessites.com/Area51/Shadowlands/6583/roswell030.html http://geocitiessites.com/Area51/Shadowlands/6583/roswell030...
