For fifty years, the mysterious 1947 crash of an unidentified craft 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, 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 20th-century history. In 'The Day After Roswell', Col. Philip Corso talks first-hand about actually handling debris from the crash and describes how he used the Pentagon's secret weapons budget to filter the alien artifacts into R&D departments of government contractors such as Bell Labs, Monsanto, IBM, Motorola, and other major companies. Born from this reverse-engineering were the precursors for today's integrated circuit chips, fiber optics, lasers, and super tenacity fibers. These advancements in technology are ultimately responsible for ending the Cold War.
