Summary: This book is very very good reading
Review: This books shows how the government can and does coverup stuff it doesn't wish for the public to know. I have never seen an alien but that doesn't mean they don't exist. I feel the government knows way more than they want us to know. Just like the hobel telescope when it was blacking out. Based on the kinda stuff this book says. it was very likely a electro-magnetic pulse generated by alien aircraft that caused the telescope to get buzzed out.

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: This book is great! Everybody should read this one. Many people are still sceptical about the events of Roswell, but when you read this one, you will understand exactly what happened.

Summary: Can anyone say "Egomaniac" ?
Review: I read this book. I am not especially proud of the fact that I finished it. Col. Corso strikes me again and again throughout the book as being not as much interested in revealing a government conspiracy and cover-up as he is in revealing just how strikingly heroic and well-connected he is (was). The book itself is highly disjointed and doesn't flow in a manner you expect to find in a chronological novel or work of nonfiction. I was also throughly disgusted by the military's perspective of war, the former Soviet Union, and the common joe-six-pack.Somebody high-up in government circles should publish something to refute this piece of trash, and to put the almighty Philip Corso in his place...

Summary: Col. Corso's death sparks renewed interest in story.
Review: The sad passing of Col. Philip J. Corso in July, 1998, after two massive heart attacks sparked renewed interest in his incredible story of his years in the US Army and as a US Senate investigator of the Warren Commission. Other witnesses have come forward to describe the US government's reverse engineering of alien technology. Thus, Col. Corso was not alone in what he reports. Moreover, the appearance of the President Johnson transcripts last year about the Warren Commission cover-up also adds credibility to the story Col. Corso narrates in DAY AFTER ROSWELL. I was proud to have known and worked with this man.

Summary: Cutting through the ice.
Review: I'll make this easy and cut straight to the point. I am active duty military 17 years, I work with satellites and spent many years as a radar operator. Suffice it to say my clearance level is very high. I read Maj. Corso's book with enjoyment as I have with all the books on Roswell I have read, the first one being back in 1970, (a Book of the Month Club selection). I enjoyed narrative and sleuth manner in which his discovers unfold to the reader. Unfortunately, I was aware very early on in the book that he has fabricated the majority of the "secret truths" of Roswell. Granted though, I was impressed by his inclusion of certain operations that were in fact highly classified and correct (i.e. the Corona Project) but if one realizes that the operation was declassified recently we realize he is simply exploiting unrelated declassified documents. Quite simply, the tip off that he was fabricating his story was early on when he recounts the evenings in New Mexico during which air defense scope operators (of which he claims to have been a party to) were observing repeated "unexplainable targets" darting about on the radar repeaters (the scopes) in an evasive manner. The account blunders, however, when he says that a target rapidly moved from the upper coner of the screen to the lower left corner where it suddenly disappeared off the scope in a flash of light. Okay, rocket scientists... we all know that the only place you are going to see a target "disappear in a flash of light" on a radar screen is in Hollywood on the silver screen. A radar scope, (expecially back then), has a rotating sweep and the image is only "presented" on the scope as a blip when the sweep passes over the area of the contact. When something explodes in mid-air, even if it is within radar range, you will not see an "explosion" effect on the scope". If the radar should happen to pick up the debris that was scattered in the air from the blast it will still only appear as a still image and then only slightly larger but not detailed than the original blip. Granted, it is no military secret that scope operators have, as long as radars have been patrolling the skies, seen blips or targets that move across the scope at an incredible rate of speed and in the end are never explained or identified. I've seen a few myself. A spy plane? An unidentified flying object? Low earth orbit space debris? I'll never know. That is the reality of UFO's and that is why I enjoy what people have to say about them. But my cut on Major Corso is this: The man decided to write his memoirs. He even admits in his book that originally he did not intend on writing a book about Roswell but instead was going to write about his experiences in the military - being a materiel officer and ending up in the Pentagon. Well here's what I think happened: he took his proposal of his memoirs to the publisher and they said "there is nothing there that anybody is interested in. It will not sell. But here is something interesting you have added about Roswell. What can you do with that?" He realized that he could create a story about what he did "behind closed doors" that only he could possibly be witness to and therefore could never be substantiated or challenged. Unfortunately, though he is a good storyteller, he is not the best. He got caught. Geez, what some people won't do to make some money. But I bought the book, and that was the whole point of it being published, so I thank him for the fun reading but I'm afraid he's set credible UFO reporting back to the dark ages once again.

Summary: The real life Forrest Gump!
Review: Corso has been responsible, in this highly entertaining work of obvious fiction, of weaving a web of Forrest Gumpisms. He claims to have been involved in all major undertakings from going to the moon to the arms race to the development of all major new technologies. It clearly is what I would call "secret fiction" in that he poses everything as being real, but what he has produced is a very funny account of "what if" aliens crashed landed and everyone went after the goods.

Summary: This Book Has all The Answers...
Review: Col. Corso, explains all the interesting facts I wanted to know about Roswell. He explains them with detail, and by reading this book you will understand and believe more about the Roswell story. I have also noticed other facts that shocked me for days on certain topic that deal with extraterestrials (EBE). I will not say more, I beleive everyone who is into the UFO Phenomenon should purchase this book. This is by far the best UFO I ever read..

Summary: Too much "how" and not enough "why"
Review: Despite the book's claim of documentation, I was surprised to not find any which supported the crash and recovery of a UFO and its occupants at Roswell. There was also little or no documentation to support Col. Corso's claim of dissemenating technology from the crash into intustry and to government contractors. Anoter dissapointing aspect of the book is the Colonel's unwillingness to elaborate on the grand scheme of the aliens' agenda to "collect biological specimens from Earth for experimentation." To me the most interesting part of the book was that the author claimed that he, along with the rest of the government officials involved, beleived that the aliens are not benevolent but that their intentions are hostile. I would much rather have read more on the intentions of the aliens than about the distribution of their technology. Still, I found it very intriguing and was very interested to find a book written on the topic by a former Pentagon Offici! al. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the "nuts and bolts" (not paranormal) aspect of UFOs. Just take it with a grain of a salt, because I beleive that this a mixture of fantasy and reality woven together for who knows what purpose. The complete truth probably went to the grave with Col. Corso.

Summary: Insight into Politics of our armed forces as well as CIA
Review: The review of the events and the scientific discoveries are explained in a manner that makes sense and is easy to understand. It strikes home if you grew up in the 60's as it relates to the relationship of the armed forces and other government agencies during that time period. As a technology engineer, I can understand how the discoveries were distributed to the various domestic companies so that it would seem to the everyday consumer that this was invented by a U.S. Fortune 500 company. Its great reading and knowing the background of Col. Corso, makes it so interesting and so truthful.

Summary: The title tells it all !
Review: After spending the last 20 years dealing with the U.S. Gov't. and its suppliers this book reveals some of what we have known all along. And it does what the "leaders" of this country want, and that is to "prepare us" so the shock won't be so great. That is why it was allowed to be published in the first place. As for those of you who ask "why they did this or that", take the same look around your own workplace .... does everything make sense there ?????
