Well it's the government, so it's still 'them' who have the crafts and not us. In this galaxy there are some humans like us - originating on Earth but living on other planets - who have some nice crafts, but again they exist nowhere in our culture.
I hear the triangles are just retarded versions of anti-gravity design anyway. Those things could probably make it to the Moon but that's it. I'm sure their real porpose is on-planet warfare.
Note, also, most of these humanoids got their ships by cooperating with other cultures. What holds humanity back is everyone's urge to take things and say "It's mine and nobody else can use it without my permission." Take one look at pro-copyrighters and you'll see why our culture is a dump.
