A landmark expose firmly grounded in fact,
THE DAY AFTER ROSWELL puts a fifty-year-old controversy to rest. Since 1947, the mysterious crash of an unidentified aircraft at Roswell, New Mexico has fueled a firestorm of speculation and controversy with no conclusive evidence of its extraterrestrial origin—until now. Colonel Philip J. Corso (Ret. ), a member of President Eisenhower's National Security Council and former head of the Foreign Technology Desk at the U. S. Army's Research & Development department, has come forward to tell the whole explosive story. Backed by documents newly declassified through the Freedom of Information Act, Colonel Corso reveals for the first time his personal stewardship of alien artifacts from the crash, and discloses the U. S. government's astonishing role in the Roswell incident: what was found, the cover-up, and how these alien artifacts changed the course of twentieth-century history.
In 1961 Corso, then a lieutenant colonel, was given command of one of the Pentagon's highly classified weapons development budgets and was made privy to the U. S. government's greatest secret: the dismantling and appropriation of the Roswell extraterrestrial spacecraft by the Army. Now, identifying all those involved, Colonel Corso reveals how a deep-cover council officially discounted all UFO reports to the American public, and cleared the path for his R&D team at the Pentagon to analyze and integrate the Roswell artifacts info the military arsenal and the private business sector. The extent of the operation is startling.
With unprecedented detail, Corso divulges how he spearhead. -d the Army's reverse engineering project that "seeded" alien technology at American companies such as IBM, Hughes Aircraft, Bell Labs, and Dow Corning—without their knowledge. He describes the devices found aboard the Roswell craft, and how they were the precursors for today's integrated circuit chips, fiber optics, lasers, and super-tenacity fibers. He also discusses the role alien technology played in shaping geopolitical policy and events: how it helped the United States surpass the Russians in space; spurred elaborate Army initiatives such as SDI, Horizon and HARP; and ultimately brought about the end of the Cold War.
Laying bare some of the government's most closely guarded secrets, THE DAY AFTER ROSWELL not only forces us to reconsider the past—but also our role in the universe.
