Brits have 15 year ahead tech... US has 30yrs+.
Think about it. When the original Stealth fighter was shown off in 1988 was actually designed and tested 30years prior... in the 50's.
US has planes with interstellar capabilities, laser guns (small and large) etc. But it has no need to display them and doesn't want to create some sort of arms race with this like nukes.
So it only trickles info in a really limited means and shows stuff really old.
EDIT: this isn't meant as a who's better comment, just that its happening on many fronts beyond one nation.

Planes with intestellar capabilities, you say?

Not sure if using the word correctly, but I'm thinking of a plane that can take off like normal and enter space, then return. No stupid rockets and such.

Yeah, no, interstellar would be a plane that could reach at least the nearest stars, which are already mind-bogling far away. Just launching off and "entering space" (as in geting out of the atmosphere or at least into it's less dense layers) though shouldn't be that hard, so that makes sense, but it's nowhere near the kind of technology the aliens would have to have to be able to launch an invasion at us or even just visit.
