About this ebook
Since 1947, the mysterious crash of an unidentified aircraft at Roswell, New Mexico, has fueled a firestorm of speculation and controversy with no conclusive evidence of its extraterrestrial origin -- until now.
Colonel Philip J. Corso (Ret.), a member of President Eisenhower's National Security Council and former head of the Foreign Technology Desk at the U.S. Army's Research & Development department, has come forward to tell the whole explosive story. Backed by documents newly declassified through the Freedom of Information Act, Colonel Corso reveals for the first time his personal stewardship of alien artifacts from the crash, and discloses the U.S. government's astonishing role in the Roswell incident: what was found, the cover-up, and how these alien artifacts changed the course of 20th century history.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Most reviewers wonder if Corso is telling the truth. Where one stands on that, probably depends upon one's preconceived notions about the subject. Corso really has nothing to gain by lying, therefore it must be. His book is written based on a 2 year assignment in the Pentagon during the early 1960s. That alone would indicate that there were others who held this position before and since...wondering why they have not come forward? That said, this is likely the most credible book on the subject or the Roswell "crash." A fascinating Cold War memoir. The reader must dig through tons of self aggrandizement.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There have been a lot of books written about Roswell, enough to fill a bookcase if not more. When history ends up sorting them all out in terms of their value, Corso's book will be there up at the top. He has the credibility of a high military rank, provable connections to five-star brass. If he said he saw an alien body in a hangar at Wright-Patterson AFB shortly after Roswell, there's no reason to disbelieve him other than the unshakable "show me" attitude of Missouri. Not everyone gets to be an insider, and not every insider has the courage to disclose what they know. So we now know where the super-technological leaps in the post-war era came from: Corso and his Foreign Technology Desk at the Pentagon seeding recovered artifacts to defense industries. This is a good book to reread every few years.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Day After RoswellAuthor: Col Philip J Corso with Wiliam J BirnesPublisher: Pocket BooksPublished In: New YorkDate: 1997Pgs: 341REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERSSummary:As Chief of the Army’s Foreign Technology Division in 1961, Philip J Corso stewarded the Roswell, New Mexico, alien artifcats in a reverse-engineering project that led to: integrated circuits, fiber optics, lasers, super tenacity fibers, and seeded the Roswell alien technology to the giants of American industry. The Roswell tech was a grand leap forward and powered the boom in the 20th century American military-industry complex....If...if it’s true and this isn’t just another cover story.Genre:Autobiography and memoirConspiracy theoriesControversyEspionageGovernmentHistoryMilitaryNon-fictionScience and natureSpaceUFOsWhy this book:Roswell. Truth. Retired Colonel. Senator Strom Thurmond.______________________________________________________________________________The Feel:Feels repetitive chapter to chapter. The format and style and the way the chapter structure is broken up make it seem that a lot of stylistic, textual forms are reused. The same information is re-communicated a number of times.Pacing:The style and repetitive nature of some of the text negatively impacts the flow and pace of the story.Hmm Moments:Post 1947, the CIA, Navy, and Army did more to trigger the Man in Black scare than anything else. They went into a full court press to ferret out Soviet agents in and around the areas specific to the material recovered from Roswell. The plan came out of the Truman administration, probably originating either with the CIA or the DOD.Ask too many questions and knocking at your door would be a couple of plainclothes investigators who didn’t need a search warrant to rummage through your things. So maybe the army was a little overzealous in the interrogation procedures…This gives an excuse for the massive technological explosion that man underwent in the last century, but it doesn’t give man much credit. Yes, it does give him kudos for reverse engineering the tech, but it doesn’t give any credence to the idea that these leaps were purely a product of mankind’s ingenuity. Halfway through the book, I’m begging to get that watching television feel where the guy with the funky hair is about to appear and say, “I’m not saying it’s aliens...but it’s aliens.”______________________________________________________________________________Last Page Sound:Is he part of the cover up and only feeding us “his” version of what happened? By his own admission everything was steeped in hoax and dissembling, so how do you trust his account.Author Assessment:The repetitive chapter to chapter bit with Corso’s angst over the reports and what he’s got and his talks with Trudeau begin to grate after you re-read almost the same exchange for the third or fifth time. Whether these were actually repeated conversations or if these were one conversation remembered a dozen times in service to telling each items’ story as it went through the industrialization process from the Army to R&D guys to the defense contractors is unclear, but each chapter seems to have another repeat of the conversation. Editorial Assessment:Editorially, someone should have said something about how the repetitive structures of the chapters was impacting the story flow. Almost seems like an editor may have only looked at this as each chapter was completed vs how all the chapters hung together as a whole.Knee Jerk Reaction:it’s alrightDisposition of Book:Half Price Book stackWould recommend to:no one______________________________________________________________________________
