Summary: NONSENSE
Review: I've read virtually every book pro and con about the Roswell crash and conclude that I'm 90% cerain that project Mogul explains the reality of what came down on Brazel's ranch. The rest(alien bodies,a spaceship ect.) is fiction added at a later date by supposed "researchers" like Randle,Schmitt,Friedman who took the stories of supposed "witnesses" like Anderson,
Ragsdale & Kaufman. It occurs to few readers to question the fact that none of these witness stories agree with each other as to where the alledged bodies were found, how many were found, how many were supposedly alive, what they looked like ect.
Now we have Corso giving us a new version of the alledged " facts" which contradict much of the earlier stories that were spread by the above mentioned authors!
Seems to me that anybody can write a book these days regardless of the facts and people who want to believe will hold the book up as gospel truth.
Jesse Marcel Sr who started this whole story in 1978 never once claimed that there was a spaceship and alien bodies and he should have known!
In various interviews he only talked about some debris that had fallen to earth due to some sort of explosion. He hadn't tested the debris himself and he didn't know what it was. That is what he personally had observed. He felt it must have been extra terrestial at a later time although at the time of picking it up he didn't think too much about it. Cavitt who is alive today who helped Marcel pick the stuff up says that he thought then and now that it was a balloon and that the pictures of the stuff in Ramey's office looked like the stuff they picked up.
The material that was described by Marcel, his son,Cavitt, Brazel, his daughter and son, all
resemble the Mogul balloon scenario.
Time,myth and bookselling authors have turned mundane earthly material into extra terrestial material.
As for a crashed spaceship and dead bodies- that myth wasn't circulated until the 80's by the likes of Anderson (now discredited!), Ragsdale (now discredited) Kaufman (discredited), Dennis
(discredited) and a few others who were not "witnesses" passing on rumours.
I started out believing that Roswell was a legitimate ET case but having read virtually all the material on it I can't believe that anymore.
It might be of some interest to you that all of the above mentioned authors who are responsible for bringing the Roswell myth to the public can't
stand each other and all have accused each other of false research and reportage!
If the public is basing the Roswell incident on the reporting of these so called researchers and each of these researchers is accusing each other of shoddy work and outright fabricating and some of them have been caught outright lying to the public then how can you trust anything they write?
Additionally,some of these authors if not all of them have called Corso's book a fraud!
Now what does that tell you?

Summary: This book will give you pause.
Review: Any doubts we may have had about Roswell and the existence of aliens should be put to bed with this book. The evidence is there in great detail, carefully laid out by a man who was intimately involved in the dissemination of the technology. The cover-up he describes is far more intricate than anything I thought our government could construct and leaves me wondering what else is going on. I also found myself forgiving them for the cover-up because of Col. Corso's explanations. While some of the self-congratulatory tone of the book gets a bit tiresome, it is a fascinating account of the technological breakthroughs we supposedly enjoyed because of the aliens, and of the involvement the government has in our day-to-day lives: deciding when and how we will become "used to" the idea of aliens. It makes me wonder if the recent alien movies (Men In Black, Independence Day, and others) were fed to Hollywood by the Roswell Working Group to get us ready for some big announcement. Read it. This one is for real.

Summary: Corso's Roswell: The Handy Alien Parts Store?
Review: I've read several sections of this book, and I have serious doubts about the claims he is making. Being involved in the publication of archaeological textbooks, I have some knowledge about the care and forethought taken in preserving relics from the past. But, according to this story, very little care, respect, and preservation is shown towards Corso's "alien" artifacts. Consider this for a moment: Suppose you are a major world power, with numerous scientific and military resources at hand, and you have found objects that are some of most significant and valuable ever: actual technology from an alien world. Now what would you do with it? Store it in a box in a Colonel's office, without any climatic, chemical, biological, or atmospheric controls? Very, very unlikely!! First, scientists would want to preserve these artifacts from reaction to the atmosphere, so they would be stored in inert gas or a vacuum. Secondly, they would control temperature and humidity for the same reasons. And thirdly, they would quickly isolate any truly alien artifact out of fear of spreading some foreign contagion. Objects of such compelling evidence, undoubtedly great treasures for mankind, would be under the highest security, and the best methods of preservation for the time. Why is that so different from Corso's story?

Summary: Creditable author, incredible story
Review: This book leaves the skeptics gasping and reaching desperately for straws. The "He's insane" is one of the more common criticisms. They simply can't stand it. Their secure perception of the world has been dealt a mighty blow. The mighty bosom of "legitimate" science has been ripped from their mouths. Accounts of how our electronics field advanced that will leave your jaw swinging because it makes so much sense. Anyone that has looked into how the transistor was "invented" knows something strange certainly went on. This is not about the transistor, that was before Corso's time, but he makes claims that other devices followed the same path as the transistor, such as, integrated circuits, fiber optics, lasers, etc. All devices that have advanced us in huge leaps. This book is consistant with American Computer's recent account of Bell Labs reverse engineering the transistor that also has been gaining a huge momentum for the last 6 months. If you read just one ufo book, make it this one.

Summary: I liked the book but, a few questions remain.
Review: Most of the book is well written but, I have a few questions.Some of the technological finds on the ship is technology from the 1980's . Like night vision ,cpu chips and lasers.Why would an advanced culture be stuck in that time frame? But most of the other finds make sense.Like thought controll for the ship , telepathy ,and a power source so great and yet so small that it was never recognized.It is also a good point that the p-n junctions and lasers appear suddenly after many years of vacume tubes,without a real inventive process in between. Philip mentions "time machine" on a t.v. show too. This would make a lot of sense.I suspect that these beings are our future relatives(or created by our future relatives) transported through areas like the bermuda triangle where a vortex of sea water interacts with the magnetic field. Just as Edgar Cayce envisioned. Review by Siva R. Krishna

Summary: Roswell, a post-mortem adaptation?
Review: I haven't read this book entirely, but the sections I have, most notably his descriptions of the "alien wreckage," I view with a healthy amount of skepticism. For instance: He describes one object as a "squashed bug" with thin wires, etc. radiating from the central part. He then identifies this as an "alien integrated circuit" that we back-engineered and developed into all sorts of commercial/consumer products. An intriguing story, except that it fails to encompass the history of the transistor and semiconductors in general. Another glaring flaw to me is that Corso describes an "alien integrated circuit" that closely resembles our own contemporary hardware. One could argue that our technology looks similar because it was derived from alien tech, but that assertion ignores an important likelihood: that advanced alien technology, developed far away, using dissimilar disciplines of science and production, would not be analogous to our ways of understanding and production methods. In short: alien technology would be very hard to understand and reproduce. If Corso wants to make such assertions, he should have more detailed desriptions and better documentation. I fear books like these only fuel irrational speculations.--K.Story

Summary: Doesn't Add Up
Review: Col. Corso states that in 1961 he was given the Army's most important and secret assignment. After two year of brilliant performance he retired without promotion to 1 star General to take a low-paid job as aide to Sen. Thurmond. He also writes of planning to meet with Jon Von Neumann, who died on February 8, 1957.

Summary: I've read them all, this one is the best of the lot.
Review: Finally, a breath of fresh truth from the past that will hopefully start an avalance of truth in the present. When will our GOVERNMENT figure out that the vast majority of the population can deal with the truth. BRAVO, Col. Corso, when you make your final trip, you can do so with a clear conscious. Future generations will consider you one of the true heros of their past.

Summary: Corso again rings true with release of once-secret LBJ tapes
Review: Over thirty years ago, Phil Corso was criticized as a right-wing paranoid fanatic when he suggested that there were two Lee Harvey Oswalds and that there was a plot to assassinate JFK. Although he was on record as breaking the U2 and POW stories, the Oswald story still lingered. Now, with the release of the LBJ tapes, readers can see with their own eyes that it was J. Edgar Hoover who first told President Johnson that the CIA knew there were two Oswalds. Again, history proves Corso correct. Also, check out the ACC site for the story of the transistor and Bell Labs.
