The Day After Roswell

Summary: This book should be in hotels right beside the bible!
Review: Hey folks,lets get real.....everyone knows that the government is constantly hiding secrets from the general public.Corso has told an interesting and engaging story recounting the events leading to the technology explosion of the last half century.The book is written with a confidence that suggests to the reader the imformation is real.Its true that some of the imformation seems far fetched even for true believers,however Corso manages to keep the imformation flowing with thoughts of his own.Perhaps the biggest surprise to me was the fact that Corso actually uses names of real individuals and he will probably use the royalties from the book to pay for all the law suits that he will get.Buy the book,its a great read.

Summary: The cover-up
Review: It should surprise nobody that S.E.T.I, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is sponsored in great part by the founders of INTEL and Hewlett-Packard. Why are these sponsors looking for aliens in the sky when millions know the reality of their contacts with earth should surprise noone either. Are they trying to divert our attention? Anyone who wants to understand why Roswell has to be kept a big secret must read this book.

Summary: finally, some logical answers to old mysteries
Review: I suppose what most convinced me of Corso's truthfulness in this exposé of the events which occurred at, and then followed from the 1947 crash of a mysterious flying ship, was his whole attitude toward the events throughout the narration. Corso was not intent on convincing his audience of the reality of aliens; he had lived with this knowledge for so long that for him it was an unpleasant and inescapable fact. He concentrated instead on telling us what the results of this alien presence were, how the governments of the world thought and reacted to what they regarded as a threat to our species, how new technologies grew from the refuse found at the Roswell site, how different branches of the government jealously guarded their secrets and developments from each other. A lot of emphasis is also placed on the US government's fear that enemy nations had their own UFO crashes and were extrapolating alien technologies faster than we were. After reading this book, which names names without hesitation and finally makes sense of our rapid rise in technology, Project Blue Book, and the Roswell crash itself, I don't which I find more frightening...the ubiquitous presence of these inhuman and unfriendly beings, or the reality of governments which will go to any lengths to keep people from knowing the truth.

Summary: The biggest fallacy lies in the basic story itself!
Review: Good reading; very thought provoking and compelling. Too bad its not true. The biggest fallacy lies in the basic story itself. Corso leaked alien technology information into private industry during the Cold War. The basic story contradicts itself. Corso himself states in the book that it was important to National Security to keep the crash and the evidence secret from the public and/or Russia. How can you keep technology secret and give it to private industry at the same time? All the details of the book are very interesting by themselves (the trees) but when you look at the "forest", the idea of giving the technology to industry to develope does not make sense. How do we know the whole roswell crash was not a "show" to spook the Russians during the Cold War era into thinking the US had some sort of technological advantage? The bigger the lie the more people will believe it. Great reading though; very interesting!

Summary: Even skeptics must admit validity in this book!!
Review: This book, whether or not you are a believer of what happened that July night over the skies of New Mexico, can make even the strongest of skeptics question their concepts. I truly believe every word of Col. Corso's testimony. What purpose would this man, close to death have to lie about the accounts he was privy to? The technology today seems so far advanced and almost incomprehensible that we could conceive such ideas in 50 short years. We didn't. We had help. The possibilities are endless and point to an inevitable conclusion that we are (pardon the cliche') NOT alone. The discoveries made that fateful night have helped shape the society we live in today, but I do admit I agree with the coverup. A "War of the Worlds" scenario is a sure bet, when the country would doubt the world leaders knowing they cannot defend the skies against visitors from other worlds. I was thoroughly fascinated and compelled to finish this the first night I received it. Read this book, again, whether you know about the conspiracy or not. Your eyes will be opened by the stories of a man who caught a glimpse of our future, and was brave enough to step forward.

Summary: A real slice of what happened tech-wise, + just how+why...
Review: Don't be misled by dis-information. This book is the truth from a man that had the credentials to back it up! Look at who this guy hung-out with-- check out the photographs! These were (to quote Oliver Stone, from JFK) "some serious *#!^ing guys"! If you read any non-fiction book about this subject--start with this one. It's not going to read like a slick story--it's just plain true. This man was not supposed to say these things...he didn't need the money...and he just died a few months ago. To quote Jack Nicholson, from another movie..."Can you read THIS sign???"

Summary: An EgoManiac and a Charlatan!
Review: This was such a disappointing read. For the most devastating rebuttal to Corso's book I suggest you read COSMIC TEST TUBE by an investigative journalist named Fitzgerald. Ironically, Fitzgerald also makes the STRONGEST case I've ever seen for an extraterrestrial event at Roswell. He simply gives both sides of the story, which Corso and his co-author were apparently too greedy to even attempt!

Summary: Excellent documentation of Military Intelligence Paranoia
Review: Col Corso is a name that I had heard before, while I was attached to AF Intelligence in Washington D.C. Many of the items that he mentions ring true to what knowledge I had of certain events and occurances relating to the "foreign technologies division." I throughly believe Col Corso's rather simple explanation of inter-service rivalries overshadowing the greatest discovery of all time. You had to be inside to realize how compartmentalization and competition could cause events to unfold as the Colonel explains.

He had nothing to gain from this revelation - except the knowledge that he had stopped decieving the American people. Trust me, as a Colonel he did not need the little income that this book probably provided - expecially not at the expense of his reputation and integrity. He was there. He was part of it. His conscience was clear.

Review: In 1953 I was completing a technical electronics course with Devry Technical Institute in Chicago. Then the vacuum tube was the highest common form of electronic switchings. It borders on the miraculous that quantum leaps occurred to the transistor and the integrated circuitry of chips in such a phenominally short span of time.I believe every word written by Lt.Col. Corso and believe that further investigation of dendrites of this subject would bring unimaginable benefits to mankind.
