Philip Corso is a man of integrity. He didn't have to write this book. This book is the bible of Roswell. The Project Mogul balloon theory holds little water, yet the USAF still hold firm to it. They still deny the American people the truth. We need more people like Philip Corso and the hand ful of others to come forward with their testimony. To the skeptics, I suggest you take a look at the General Ramey memo. It has been digitally enhanced.

This book would make for decent science fiction, if it were decently written. To believe that this one officer was tasked with such a monumental assignment...well, it's a stretch. Technological developments supposedly jumpstarted by alien instrumentation? Reverse engineering of a technology several thousands of years in advance of the society whose scientists are doing the reverse engineering? Makes you want to go hmmmmm
Theories for the laser were contemplated thirty years before Roswell, for example. Yet we developed the laser courtesy of ET the EBE? Stretches credibility. The fact that such a book was allowed to be published makes for a reasonable assumption that it is disinformation, fiction, a cosmic joke, or all of the above. And the Cold War was a front to enable us to defend against the alien nations out to get us? How come the SETI radio telescopes after decades of search cannot find an artificially generated electromagenetic signal? How come all of the published photos of UFOs look like Ed Wood was the photographer? Yet, the evil empire and the good old US were really preparing for an interplanetary war, all the time we thought it was Capitalism vs. Communism. Thanks to Corso, we now know better. Read the book, it's worth a laugh.

Not a very well written book. The only facts the author brings out are inventions already realized by mankind. Eg: Fiber-optics, IC chip. It would have been more believable if he wrote this book prior to these inventions. This book confirms why UFO photos are always in poor condition...They don't exsist.

The book is an interesting read, if not wholly credible.
There is reason to doubt that everything Col. Corso related was the exact truth.
There are several technological innovations which - he says - were the result of alien technology discovered with the downed ship eventually being given to researchers who were able to use some of the information to develop great advances in design and capability of some products.
His critics say that he has insulted the work of the actual human inventors of those products.
It has also been stated that Col. Corso did not actually serve on the NSC and could not have done some of the things that he said he did while in the Army.
It may be a work of science-fiction masquerading as biography-cum-science but it was still interesting to read.

I read this book shortly after it's first release. It is and was at the time considered somewhat dry and non-sensational. Many books offer more juicey tidbits and stories. But this guy was around in the early years and offers a limited but detailed diary like accounting for how he saw the Government approch a highly classified phemon. His account paints a picture of Several High level adjecnties hiding contacts and info. Re:
Though narrow in it's scope he lays out knowdledge of how large tech companies with big contracts soon came into These "artifacts" and learning to reverse engineer them into such pivital items that quickly became the computor chip. All these companies are still around, ones that for a century have enjoyed large millatary contracts, and they guard their secrets better than Fort Knox. Nothing take presidence over the Millitary when it comes to the Governments ability to lock down info. And Anything that has a possibile millitary application gets poured over and exploited for decades before it it's applications are leaked out to the public by way of "New Technology". New for the public but not new to the world. All the cutting edge scientists get their needed monies for research and development from sources that are predominetly controlled by some government and sign away thier life in confidentiality agreements to get to play with the "coolest toys", turn over their results and possible applications first to be considered for in a word War. After the rest of the world hs caught up and it's no longer secret then they release the Tech. "soup de jour" to more profitable exploits, doing so gradually (every 5mos.) to get people to keep having to come back to keep up.
Corso tries to methodically layout the early years from his perspective (his proven/traceable service record) what was becomeing a system of how these Top secret issues were being handled and basically probalby still are. Author Jim Marrs came out with his book ALIEN AGENDA around the same time and I found it a much more interesting overview on the subject. But again I find this a poiniet dossier and worth reading as one who wants to understand the roots of Rock might check out Old Blues, Beatles, and Stones music etc...
Reguarding (comments) The deveations and "enhancements" that he may have made at his book signings embellesshment may be one way to look at it... However another wa to look at it is thus. Many writers with sensitive information to tell will many times not give full disclossure to all they know in their books. Everyone should know that. And many times authors will while speaking on a one to one basis, reveal more info. than they wanted to go on record ever saying... And young people need to hear and have access to the truth because they will have more opputunity to do somthing with that truth. Older folks when presented with somthing controversial even if they believe it tend to just sit on the info. rarely even discussing it with their peirs for feir of making waves or worse ridacule. the younger you are the less you tend to care about what other people think of you and that's when you have the most oppurtunity to persue wherever your intersts take you. Just cuase you write a book a bio or whatever dosen't mean that you still might NOT tell everything you know. Given he like 99% of people that write with authority on the subject of UFO and the like don't have any hard evidence short of copies of memos and the like. Besides anyone that claims to have anything in their possession will sure to be inidated with All Kinds beating a path to their door. And in this case I think he was revealing (in the book) more than enough to feel that he "threw" his hat in" in regaurds to giving info. and credence to the subject.
