"The Day After Roswell" by Col. Philip J. Corso
Book Report by Stuart Russell
As I read this book it became a giant vacuum cleaner that almost
sucked me into its theme - the EBE are a coming and we have to
prepare. Looking back I see that I set my anchor in reality on
page fourteen where there is an error. The error is so basic
that this book could not have been written by a combat veteran of
World War II. Its so basis that I won't even give it the dignity
of restating it. Read page fourteen again if you still don't get
it read it to anyone that is familiar with the operation of the
M1 rifle. A genuine vet would not have made that mistake. Not
that Corso, is not a vet. He didn't write the book, he was just
the shill for it.
In the second to the last chapter I experienced an epiphany where
the whole purpose for the writing of this book became clear. The
military has been cursed by the Roswell incident since 1947.
With the end of the Cold War, the member of the military
industrial complex (not unlike the March of Dimes having to find
a new disease after it wiped out polio) needed an enemy to keep
its pay, profits, promotions, pensions and perks in place.
Some genius figured it out and said, "Hey, let's write an expose
of Roswell, admit that it was real, attribute all the scientific
advances of the last 50 years to alien technology recovered from
the crash scene and let everyone know that the EBEs are still
there and a menace. The conspiracy people will buy it, the
paranoids that trust the government to protect them will love it,
the saucer people will buy it, along with everyone in between.
Whereas Fox Molder of the X-Files states, "I want to believe",
the watch word for the group responsible for this book is, "We
want you to believe." Why was there no mention of the results of
the war against the EBEs? Have sightings dropped off? Has there
been a decrease in cattle mutilations? Why didn't the EBEs have
destruct materials aboard their craft that would have prevented
humans from making this alleged recovery? Why didn't the EBEs
have beacons on board that could of alerted other ships to come
to their aid? Why was there no tie in with all the evidence
found in the debris field? Why was Marcel spotted at the scene
of the crash several nights before he was at Brazel's ranch?
