Did Bell Labs decode alien tech? Discover how the transistor age might trace back to Roswell and beyond. What if one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor, lasers, satellites, the dawn of the computer-age — didn’t originate where you think? In this episode of Divergent Files we take you deep into the shadow-history of Bell Laboratories (Bell Labs): the quiet New Jersey lab with no fences, no explosions, and every major modern tech breakthrough flowing out of its beige walls. We’ll trace the timeline: 1947 Roswell, 1947 Bell Labs unveils the first working transistor, 1949 the US military signs AC contracts with Bell. Was this just coincidence — or something deeper? We’ll follow the paper trail from transistor briefings to anti-missile radar, from zone-refining ultra-pure materials to ultra-sound “influence” circuits, from early AI sound experiments into classified missile-defense systems. If Bell Labs wasn’t “just a research wing” of AT&T — what was it...
