The Day After Roswell

Rating:
Summary: Should have been rated zero!
Review: As a long time researcher in the field of UFO/Roswell, there is only one word to describe this work: excrement

Summary: If Col. Corso is legitimate let the expose' continue.
Review: The only reason I would classify this book as a 9 and not a 10 is due to the lack of verifiable confirmation by other authorities. Colonel Phillip J. Corso can be verified as being an aide to President Dwight D. Eisenhower on the internet. The only difference being the spelling of the first name Phillip vs Philip. If Col. Corso is the legitimate author and has not made up a work of fiction by interweaving fact and fiction, then this is probably the most heroic thing that an individual could do. I would consider Col. Corso a great patriot that will almost certainly give the US Government back to the people. The USA citizens should not tolerate a secret government. Even if was necessary to protect the citizens until an answer was understood, Colonel Corso indicates that the alien threat is at least blunted. He even intimates that the world now has global protection and other world threats are at least under control and the world is protected. If the book only had endorsements or reliable witness testimony then perhaps we can believe that the Roswell Incident did occur and aliens did crash land on our planet. It is high time other reliable witnesses reveal their part in the cover up and help all of the pieces of the puzzle to be put together. Then maybe Major Jesse Marcel and other first hand witnesses can rest in peace, especially William "Mac" Brazel.

Summary: Absolutely fabulous, I couldn't put it down!
Review: Personally, I've always been fascinated by the IDEA of extra-terrestrial intelligence, but have never seen anything in print this convincing...If half this stuff is true, it certainly sheds a new light on political & military policy for the last 50 years...--Nancy Eklun

Summary: Uniquely enlightening in the face of most extant UFO writing
Review: Apparently he was there. Most of the extant UFO writings available to the citizenry is by those who wern't there. A problem for me has been why the stone-hard secrecy? In view of what he (Col.Corso) says there really wasn't much more they could do, particularly after the Orson Welles drama a few years previous. Indeed, chaos and probable anarchy would have broke out had such knowledge been known. By his admission the subject was classified above "top secret", if indeed there is such a classification, and if true the declassification of it would most likely take a long time. As someone else reviewed, he is a old "cold war warrior", and if he retired in 1963, he must be getting well along in years by now. Why would he divulge such sensitive information now unless it is part of the disinformation system that has been rampant all these years? There is a certain arrogance portrayed here and the impression, to me anyway, was that a considerable part of our technology today was made possible solely by efforts; at least catalyzed by them. Overall I found the book unique and enlightening in the face of much of what's been written over the past years. I think he did his job well as an active duty army officer; he still continues to do his job well

Summary: It's About Time
Review: Absolutely Mind Numbing! I couldn't put it down. I would have given the book a rating of ten if there had been more copies of memo's and supporting documents, photographs of UFO's, etc. In my estimation, since Colonel Corso was a young officer at Fort Riley in 1947, he must be near the age of 75 by now. I believe, like Major Jesse Marcel, he simply wanted to let the world in on what he knew before he passed away and the truth was possibly forever buried with him. I found it rather strange that the Air Force decided to publish their book "Case Closed" just prior to the release of Colonel Corso's book. Was this just another attempt to turn everyone's attention away from the truth? A great read for anyone interested in ufology.

Summary: CONVINCING UFO CRASH ( INCONSISTENCIES/TECHNICALLY LACKING)
Review: OKAY, A UFO CRASHED OUTSIDE OF ROSWELL IN 1947. THIS OLD GUY JUST VEERED OFF COURSE AT NUMEROUS TIMES AND FREQUENTLY WAS TECHNICALLY WEAK. HE PRODUCED MORE PARTS, IDEAS, AND INFORMATION THAT COULD EVER FIT INTO ANY GOVERNMENT FILE CABINET. NO SKETCHES OR TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION WERE INCLUDED TO BACK UP WHAT HE CLAIMED IN THE BOOK. MOST OF THE TECHNOLOGY HE CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FROM THE ROSWELL CRASH WAS DEVELOPED BY HARD WORKING AMERICANS... AND, A FEW ALIENS!

Rating:
Summary: "The Day After Roswell" matches Canadian views.
Review: I loved this book. Col. Corso covers so many different aspects of technology. Most importantly his mention of Canadians Dr Gerald Bull (V3 supergun expert)and Wilbur Smith is in exact correspondence with published information in Canada. In a recent book "The UFO Files" by Palimaro Campagna, the unclassified papers of Wilbur Smith were discussed. Smith was sent to the US by the Canadian Govt. to discuss the UFO phenomena. Col. Corso accurately describes this

Rating:
Summary: A fascinating read
Review: Col. Corso's book is an excellent read and a fascinating insight into how the government/military "secrecy machine" works. I almost felt sick to my stomach at times when reading about how our government decieves it's citizens. The man who wrote this book can only be described as a patriot, spilling the beans on what should have been public information 50 years ago

Rating:
Summary: Interesting, but not complete
Review: An interesting book indeed, but as the old lady used to say, "Where's the beef?" Indeed Corso's credentials seem squeaky clean, but the question that he never answers is "Why are you telling us now?" With so many references to intimidation by the Army to the witnesses and to people in the know over the last 50 years why can he divulge the unthinkable now? He touches on so many other interesting topics but never delves into them; The Kennedy Assassination, other crashes, communicating with the aliens, and secret bases. His narration never goes deep enough. Anyway it is the most interesting book about Roswell that I have seen in years, and if what he is saying is true Superman can step out of the way for Col. Corso

Summary: It give a wonderful explanation into the coverup
Review: I really like this book. But before I praise I will critisize it. My first concern is why a patriot would break the silence? That needs to be explained before I give it a 10. Second: I wish there would have been some sort of document that would at least hint at a coverup. This book is great, if not for the ufo part then for the information Corso talks about the Cold war and just how dangerous it really was. About half of the book discusses the dangers the KGB forced on us and how much they infiltrated the CIA. He also goes on to talk about how the military fully distrusted the CIA for this reason. Another aspect of this book is how all the technology he helped advance through the ship was already being developed. In other words this ship didn't bring about all of our modern technology it hastened it introduction. The first paragraph I wrote discusses my worries of this book. The reasons that I tend ot believe in this starts with Strom Thurmand's forward. If Thurmand wrote this forward not knowing the true reason then we can expect a lawsuit soon. But I think thats unlikely. I think thurmand knew why he was writing it and I glad he did because it adds a new glitch to the skeptic's point of view. Why would a very respectible Senator, that has been able to retain office for decades, write a forward to such an outlandish book? Also, Corso's desciptions of other projects are very detailed in there acuracy of overall events. One must realize that a man who is working with so many projects will not be able to retain any true detailed tech. specs. at that time and not 30 years later. I hope more comes out of this. Unlike some people I want to know more
