Summary and Expansion: The Day After Roswell: Philip Corso - E-book - ePub

Not only did the Roswell incident occur, but we also secured alien technology and kept it hidden from our competitors--a major influence on our tech revolution. Corso's fascinating account would indicate one of the most crucial realizations-and biggest coverups-in history. It just may be the single most important event of all. This is an update, summary, and expansion book on Philip Corso's The Day After Roswell; it is not a substitute but a complement.
Five years in the making, Corso's book stands out as rich in detail. Senators, generals, a secretary of defense, a pope, and a president were among the colonel's contacts. Still, none of them challenged his assertions in his New York Times Best Seller-the only book about UFOs ever to make such a list. Colonel Corso, a modest and discreet man, became the ultimate insider's insider thanks to his web of significant ties in the Pentagon and military.
Philip Corso matured into a highly decorated, dependable, loyal military officer. He rose through the ranks of the Army to become a top intelligence official in charge of "foreign technology" research and design at the Pentagon, a broad category that includes UFOs. According to publisher Simon & Schuster, Corso was on President Eisenhower's National Security Council for four years. He appears in the national archives in St.
Louis, Missouri, as a person of outstanding significance. Colonel Corso felt compelled to share some of the specifics of his extraordinary career with his children, grandchildren, and the rest of the world. In a filmed interview on February 1, 2008, Colonel Corso stated that if he did not reveal the account, it would likely die with him due to the military's insistence on UFOs' secrecy for more than seven decades.
In the same video, his son claimed that his father revealed just around 10% of what he knew in his best-selling book, The Day After Roswell. The rest of the information was classified as "top secret." With a prologue by Senator Strom Thurmond, for whom Corso worked as an aide following his military service, his great UFO classic has enough to persuade even the most adamant skeptic that UFOs are a fact but that aliens have proven to be an existential menace.
