The Day After Roswell

Product Information

Most crackpot books are written by faceless weirdos making claims that by their nature can't be disproven. If you're looking for good alien crackpottery, you can find many books filled with crap much more interesting than anything in this one -- with one exception. You must keep in mind that we are talking about the Government, and they have never really been accused of being totally efficient. If it had been marketed as historical fiction, or alternative history, I would have been perfectly happy.

Yes, UFO's crash-landed near Roswell, NM, in July, 1947, killing all but one extraterrestrial occupant (code-named "EBE" for Extraterrestrial Biological Entity.

Phil doesn't claim that Communists contaminated our vital bodily fluids through fluoridated water, but he does believe that the US intentionally lost the Korean War; that as early as 1962 we needed an army base on the moon to defend ourselves from an ongoing invasion of extraterrestrials; that an orbiting particle beam deployed by Ronald Reagan is the only deterrent keeping our planet from being invaded; and, most ridiculously, that readers want to see eight pages of glossy photos of him. So at some point, someone would break silence, and that appears to have been exactly what Colonel Corso did by writing this book. Fantastic as it is, Corso's memoir is corroborated and supported by all three highly credible works of nonfiction written by esteemed and highly qualified authors. The history of UFOs and aliens becomes the dominant story of our planet, affecting all of politics, social and intellectual development, and economies.

What could have been a descent book was rendered completely unenjoyable by the author's constant self aggrandizement. I also hope this guy is not telling the truth, since if a UFO really did crash all those years ago, I don't think I want to be around when their friends come looking for them. Corso saw the bodies and ten years later read the autopsy when he became responsible for a file containing artifacts from the Roswell crash. Corso tells of the various forms of alien technology and entities that were recovered from the crash site. Seeing as it wasn't published until he was a very old man (he's now passed on)he stood to benefit very little from any publicity gained.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions.
