Summarizing and updating The Day After Roswell by Philip Corso achieves five important conclusions for UFO believers and skeptics alike.
It provides solid evidence for:
1. UFOs, not only at Roswell, it also adds in what our government is revealing currently.
2. Aliens: Corso's detailed descriptions make it hard not to believe.
3. A government cover-up, not only about aliens and UFOs, but a war with them.
4. Genetic engineering for the Roswell aliens, and in our DNA.
5. The Roswell artifacts became the catalysts for our technology revolution from 1947 on.
Philip Corso matured into a decorated, trustworthy, and dedicated military man. He advanced to be one of the top intelligence officers in the Army in research and design of “foreign technology” at the Pentagon—a broad classification which included UFOs.[1] According to publisher Simon and Schuster, a person of exceptional prominence in the national archives in St. Louis, Missouri, Corso served four years on President Eisenhower’s National Security Council.[2]
Colonel Corso felt obligated in his eighties to pass on to his children, grandchildren, and the rest of the world some of the details of his most unusual, planetary significant, and historic career. Because of the secrecy insisted upon by the military for over seven decades regarding UFOs, Colonel Corso, in a videotaped interview on February 1, 2008, said that, if he did not share it, the story would likely die with him.[3] In the same video, his son said his father shared only about 10% of what he knew in his bestselling book, The Day After Roswell. The rest remained buried under a “top secret” classification. Corso, in his shocking UFO classic, with a foreword by Senator Strom Thurmond, whom Corso worked for as an aide after his military career, nevertheless shares enough to persuade even the most stubborn skeptic that UFOs are not only real, but their civilizations threaten Humanity.
Corso explains the previously unexplained and hidden details of what happened on that dark desert night on July 3, 1947, during a fierce lightning storm near Roswell, New Mexico. Either from the lightning, or from the effects of a multitude of radar beams tracking it, or both, an alien spacecraft crashed, spewed out at least five aliens, two of them alive, and all of whom had been genetically engineered for space travel.
The amazing craft boasted such advanced materials that the vast majority of it remained intact. One large crack in it allowed the aliens to either exit on their own or be pulled out.
Corso’s story becomes a fascinating one, and quickly. He first describes what really happened at Roswell in July of 1947. Next he focuses on his role in the commercial development of technology gleaned from the ship and the aliens themselves and the intent and hostile actions of the aliens, all against a backdrop of secrecy to protect the technology from the Soviets and Chinese, and also from Soviet communists who had gained a foothold in the CIA after World War II. Corso’s book morphs into an insider’s view of United States history from World War II through the 1980s. What he reveals is astonishingly relevant for today’s world and our survival as a free nation. Corso shows the reader how the government actually works and how we fight a war against aliens.
The way the military handled the commercialization and full use of the Earth-changing technology so as to not to draw attention to its origins while at the same time censoring, bribing, and intimidating witnesses, denying the existence of UFOs altogether, and propagating disinformation is not pretty, and was a bit sloppy, but proved to become the biggest successful coverup in the history of the United States.
Corso, respected and well-connected in the Army, stood right in the middle of it all, mouth shut, ears wide open, quietly doing his job despite tails from the CIA.
A series of remarkable and unlikely circumstances just happened to place Corso in charge of a night watch on Fort Riley, Kansas, and in which he could go wherever he seemed fit. Corso happened to have this assignment just a few days after the Roswell crash. The dead aliens were en route across the country by truck. The truck stopped at Fort Riley.
As Corso made his security rounds, one of his bowling buddies had been on watch over the alien cargo and motioned for Corso to take a quick look inside some packing crates in an off-limits facility. What Corso saw created an indelible, unpleasant memory for life. It was a very small and very dead alien with a watermelon-sized head and large eyes. Corso said nothing and told no one, but fourteen years later, he found himself entrusted with a file cabinet full of documents and materials about Roswell from the Chief of Research and Design at that time, Lieutenant General Arthur Trudeau[4]. Corso had worked directly with President Eisenhower as a National Security Advisor, handing him select intelligence reports and waiting for his reply. Trudeau became Corso’s next boss in the Army after Eisenhower retired. Later Corso would view the results of the autopsies on the aliens. After his retirement, Trudeau served as a special adviser to the chairman of Rockwell International.
Corso’s job: get the ball rolling for gleaning commercial uses of the remaining alien technology and get it into the hands of the right contractors secretly. The Air Force, formed immediately after Roswell, had grabbed the craft, and Bell procured some of the futuristic electronics.
Corso consulted with several top German scientists who had decided to work with the United States after the war. From transistors to integrated circuit chips, from chips to personal computers, from personal computers to the internet, Corso ultimately gives credit to the Roswell craft for their beginnings. Kevlar, lasers, the stealth bomber, fiber optics, night vision goggles, and particle beam weapons also arose from what the craft had to offer. In other words, the long-term applications from the craft led to the electronics, computer, and Silicon Valley revolutions, new aircraft, and sophisticated weaponry.
Corso reveals why the military immediately labeled the alien crafts as a threat. The aliens spent significant time buzzing top-secret military installations, including those harboring nuclear weapons, for reconnaissance. They had no hesitation in extracting a uterus or other organ from more than a few unfortunate cows, apparently with laser scalpels, like the one found on the ship, or abducting Humans for testing and experimentation. Kidnapping people against their will, and running medical tests and experiments which terrorize them, are not behaviors of friendly, benevolent aliens.
TPhilip Corso matured into a decorated, trustworthy, and dedicated military man. He advanced to be one of the top intelligence officers in the Army in research and design of “foreign technology” at the Pentagon—a broad classification which included UFOs.d us to end the Apollo program but that they had already built a base on the moon. Our government feared they evaluated us for a takeover. They didn’t share their technology with us. We had to take some of it from them. We were forced to use it against them, Corso claims, for our own survival. We used accelerated particle beam weapons, lasers, and stealth forms of aircraft to hold them at bay.
The suspected genetic engineering of the alien pilots and spies relates to my summary, update, and expansion book on Francis Crick’s Life Itself. [5] Crick claimed that Earthly DNA arose from elsewhere, that it had been genetically engineered by advanced aliens billions of years ago.
Corso’s claims suggest that the Roswell aliens demonstrated a high level of expertise in genetic engineering. One theory: ancient aliens seeded planets for life with engineered DNA for harvesting later as infrastructure for colonies, perhaps with hybridization with any local intelligent species, not a bad Darwinian strategy for spreading one’s genes and culture across the universe. Of course, we don’t know if the Roswell craft inhabitants represented descendants, or engineered projects, of the same aliens suspected of seeding life on Earth. If they were, we would have a much better understanding of our beginnings—and possible futures.
One thing that we would like to know. Were the aliens based on some form of DNA?
FOREWORD TO LIFE ITSELF BY SENATOR STROM THURMOND
Senator Thurmond begins by first discussing the threat of Communism during the 1950s and 1960s. Thurmond served as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and paid tribute to the anti-Communist efforts of General Arthur Trudeau, Corso’s intelligence boss in the Army.
Senator Thurmond lamented the Communist efforts, in our own government, to censor and immobilize those in the military who stood against them. The Senator met Philip Corso, who shared the same sentiment, and who had been recommended by two of the Senator’s staff members. Corso served in the Korean War and World War II. Colonel Corso showed that he was well-informed about exactly which high-ranking officials were behind the censorship. The Senator took on Corso as a dedicated and trusted investigative aide. Senator Thurmond, at the end of his foreword, praises Corso’s abilities and character.
INTRODUCTION BY PHILIP CORSO
Colonel Corso served as an evaluator and researcher for the Army, including for “foreign” weapons systems. He perused reports on technology and met with a variety of engineers. He reported to the head of army research and design, Lieutenant General Arthur Trudeau, who oversaw the work of over 3,000 enlisted personnel.
Under the guise of routine, mundane, and quite ordinary work, Corso led a double and very exciting life, reviewing highly classified information and acting upon it as directed by Trudeau. He found himself pursued both by the CIA and KGB and had to know the games of spies to do his job.
Corso knew of the KGB’s penetration of the CIA and other government departments, greatly influencing policymaking.
Because of his experience, dedication to the military and the United States, and intelligence expertise, Lt. Gen. Trudeau entrusted Corso with the remaining Roswell debris and documents in 1961. Roswell quickly morphed into the Army’s most important secret. Corso reported to Trudeau and not Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, the Army’s director of central intelligence, and who would become the first director of the CIA.
As part of his job, Corso read the reports on Roswell from a variety of military sources. The bottom line: the crash of an alien craft at Roswell, with aliens present, was an indisputable reality.
Lt. Gen. Trudeau laid out Corso’s assignment: utilize the Army’s weapons research and development program to sift through the technology found in the craft and from the nature of the aliens, and hand it over to the appropriate long-standing and trusted private contractors for development, including for military applications. Adding the sacred technology to ongoing contracts, instead of creating new ones, helped mask what was going on.
Not only did the military label the aliens as an existential threat to Humanity, but it also feared the aliens had interfered in World War II. Corso claims the military, and the United States government it represented, considered themselves not only at war with Soviet communists but aliens as well.
The processing of alien technology led to the alien defeat, albeit likely a temporary one, by military efforts presumed to be in concert with the Russians, which fostered the end of the Cold War.
Corso credits a handful of officers in military intelligence for altering the course of history for Humanity. He stood proud to be among them, just “a little man from a little town” in Pennsylvania, who ended up with one of the biggest jobs in the world.
CHAPTER ONE
The Roswell Desert and Crash
Corso begins the first chapter of The Day After Roswell by describing the desert on the drive to what has become a commercialized UFO enthusiast’s mecca.
Pitch black skies penetrated by fierce seasonal bolts of lightning and rainstorms are the norm rather than the exception.
These desert lightning storms apparently played a huge role in what happened on Earth from July 1947 to the present day.
Corso researched the many versions of what happened with the crash, and here is a summary of his final evaluation, which represents a consensus of the “facts” to the best of his knowledge.
· July 1, 1947: strange radar blips, representing craft flying at high speeds and making unbelievable moves at the Army’s 509th airfield, Alamagordo, and White Sands. Pursuit by our aircraft proved futile.
· Local civilians experience UFO sightings.
· World War II operatives and intelligence personnel (CIG) descend on Roswell to bear witness and plan accordingly.
· The bizarre blips continued for days until the screens represented an explosion of one of the aircraft.
· An extensive team found themselves immediately en route to the desert to retrieve anything and everything from the wreckage.
· Campers, ranchers, and residents report a mid-air explosion and a brightly lit object descending towards the Earth near the town of Corona.
· To the military’s consternation, local police and the fire department are deployed to the site of the crash just as quickly.
· The crash showed plenty of small bits of debris, but the craft itself laid intact with but one large visible crack.
· The crash supposedly occurred the night of July 3, 1947.
· The crafted seemed small and appeared like an airplane wing.
· Three small humanoids, about 4.5 feet tall, dark grayish, laid on the ground, apparently dead.
· Another lay against a small hill in the desert sand, and another near the craft.
· The Army’s Steve Arnold peered inside the craft and later said it looked like daylight inside.
· The aliens at the sandhill partially recovered and tried to make a run for it. It was shot multiple times.
· The Army’s crew had orders to secure the area, discourage the presence of police and fire-fighting personnel and all other civilians, and pack up the aliens and their craft and get them to the base, and pick up all of the debris on their hands and knees if they had too.
· The craft, surprisingly light, found itself clumsily placed by crane onto a flatbed and covered with a tarp.
· The aliens had oversized heads and eyes, tiny mouths, ears, and nostrils, appeared gray or brownish-gray, and had no hair,
· Fireman Dwyer allegedly “stole” a piece of alien fabric that could remember its shape if folded and which he would show to his daughter, who would describe it to the public on television many years later.
· The civilians who visited the site were instructed not to discuss the incident or anything they saw with anybody.
· 509th commander Bull Blanchard authorized the dissemination of a story featuring a crashed “flying saucer” that quickly went worldwide but would be retracted by the next day and replaced by the famous “weather balloon” fabrication which a reluctant Major Jesse Marcel would tell, and who would retract his story towards the end of his life. He would confirm that it was, indeed, an alien spacecraft that crashed.
· His son would eventually share how his father showed him some of the debris, including a metal rod with purplish hieroglyphic-type symbols engraved upon it.
· Threats, including murder, bribes, and intimidation of all witnesses, followed for weeks until everybody had agreed to shut up about what happened that night.
· Some of the debris and the craft were flown to the Army’s Wright Airfield in Ohio, some to Fort Bliss, Texas, and the rest convoyed by truck to Fort Riley in Kansas.
Author’s Note: later in Corso’s book, because of the absence of life support systems in the small craft, the question would arise if the captured aliens reported to a mothership. If a mothership, indeed, proved to be present somewhere, why would it not make an effort to recover its crashed spy craft immediately, knowing that the Humans could eventually duplicate some of the technology that could be used against alien fleets? Why was there no confrontation or battle that same night in Roswell over the crashed UFO? Was there no mothership after all? Or was it too late to act without drawing even more attention to the aliens’ presence?
CHAPTER TWO
Corso begins Chapter Two of The Day After Roswell by recalling his time during World War II fighting the Germans in North Africa and Italy.
After a job well done, including a meeting with the Pope to discuss civil engineering for Rome, Corso came back to the United States to attend Military Intelligence School at Fort Riley, Kansas. Corso was no novice in intelligence skills. He had training from MI10 from Great Britain and had worked to undermine Soviet intelligence in Rome.
Corso happened to be excellent at bowling, and that led to something that occurred on July 6, 1947, that he would never have even dreamed about. He had made friends on the Army’s bowling team, including a man with the nickname of “Brownie.”
Corso happened to be assigned to be in charge of the base watch on the night of July 6, 1947. Brownie, Corso noticed on the roster, guarded the veterinary building at Fort Riley that was marked “No Access” for that night—it was officially off-limits to everyone, except the commanding officer of the watch.
Earlier that day, cargo en route to Wright Airfield had been unloaded and stored, temporarily, at Fort Riley. It turns out that it had originated from the 509th near Roswell after processing at Fort Bliss. Corso didn’t know it at that time, but cargo always went from Wright to Fort Bliss, not the other way around.
On his rounds, Corso had to stop at all checkpoints, and he stopped at Brownie’s, but to his surprise, Brownie was not to be seen, an obvious breach of duty. Brownie soon spoke from the darkness and pleaded with Corso to come inside the building and view the newly arrived cargo.
Soon enough, Brownie revealed himself to Corso from inside the veterinary building, another breach of duty since it was officially off-limits. Brownie guided Corso to what he thought he should see and took a position guarding the entrance.
Corso started to open the crate that looked like it had been opened recently. Inside, immersed in a blue liquid, floated a deceased alien. The crate he opened contained its coffin. He read the paperwork enclosed inside to confirm its place of origin and what they thought it was—something from a downed craft. It was to be delivered to Walter Reed Hospital for a presumed autopsy.
Corso’s description of the alien:
· The body looked shiny and soft, like the belly of a fish. It was pale grey in color, but Corso didn't know if that was the color of its skin or skin-tight protective clothing.
· The humanoid body was about four feet long. It had two arms and hands with no thumbs—only four fingers.
· It had two thin legs and skinny feet.
· Corso saw no eyeballs, only deep-set, oversized, and elongated eye-sockets. He saw no irises or pupils.
· Its oversized head had but two nostrils for a nose and small slit-like openings where the mouth and ears should have been.
Corso left, shocked, knowing it had to be an alien, and ordered Brownie not to ever discuss anything he had seen with anybody.

https://amzn.to/2S7dWNL Francis Crick on Panspermia. Evidence DNA came from ETs. Giant viruses precursors to all life.
The most profound questions ever to be asked by Humans have been related to our origins on Earth. Unfortunately, answers, often illogical and without evidence, are most often in the form of a self-serving myth. However, “intelligent design,” without the help of a “God,” but from ETs, now deserves much more attention..
It wasn’t until the middle of the 19th century that Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, suggesting that, rather than an act of creation by an unknowable God, life systematically evolved. Finally, science offered a viable and testable alternative explanation. Evidence for evolution occurred everywhere, but the origination of life still posed a mystery—perhaps the greatest mystery of all. We seem to know much more about how our universe started with the Big Bang than we do about exactly how the first life came about on Earth.
Genes would not be discovered until seven years later by Mendel and DNA a few years after Swiss chemist Friedrich Miescher. OK, life evolves, but how did it all start? Darwin once suggested that some little warm pond near the ocean was a likely spot, far from an adequate explanation. Modern theorists propose hydrothermal vents.
I selected Francis Crick’s Life Itself to update, summarize, and expand because he promoted the idea that DNA did not first evolve on Earth. If true, DNA’s alien origin would be one of the most important realizations in all Human history. Life, according to Crick, began somewhere else where conditions were more favorable and, with the help of advanced intelligence, seeded Earth through panspermic, “seeds everywhere,” events. This has been labeled as the “seeded hypothesis.”
If DNA originated elsewhere, it reflects not only upon our beginnings as a form of “alien” or “alien hybrid” but also our future, which may include merging with one or more advanced civilizations. We may, indeed, one day, meet our “makers,” or at least some of their descendants.
Crick’s insight and intuition are now confirmed by convincing scientific evidence from a prominent mathematician and astrophysicist. They published a paper in 2013 in a peer-reviewed journal named Icarus, formerly edited by Carl Sagan. Icarus just happens to be the same journal that published Crick's paper over three decades earlier elaborating on the possibilities of Directed Panspermia by advanced civilizations.
When one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA claims it is of interstellar origin, we have to listen to why he believes it is so, as explained in his book Life Itself. The evidence to support his claims is mounting. First, DNA is an elegant mathematical and signature construct--which means it is artificial. Second, an ancestor of our giant viruses prove to be the most likely Last Universal Common Ancestor or LUCA. It has remnants of DNA machinery making it, a long with its huge genome, quite “alien.” Third, the United States government reveals more and more about UFOs or UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) sightings and materials associated with them.
This ebook summarizes Crick’s work which previously could only be found, to the best of my knowledge, in printed form, adds the evidence of signatures and hidden mathematical and pictorial codes from DNA for his theory, offers general updates on cosmological data that Crick did not have at his disposal, addresses the subject of the surprising Last Universal Common Ancestor for life, and briefly explores our government’s about-face on the subject of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) and bizarre materials found at their crash sites which they admit having and examining.
NOBEL PRIZE
In 1962, Francis Crick shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for the remarkable 1953 discovery of DNA’s molecular structure, a task that evaded other prominent scientists in the race, such as Linus Pauling.
Crick stood as one of the most knowledgeable scientists in the world concerning the structure and function of DNA but surprised everyone with a controversial and mind-boggling conclusion that DNA proved to be too complex, too well-organized and logical, too powerful, and just too perfect to be fashioned from natural selection. Furthermore, he stated that it did not likely originate on Earth but instead arose from intelligent design, not by the Christian God, but through advanced engineering from an alien civilization billions of years ago. DNA, according to Crick, reached Earth through a process called directed panspermia.
Stirring up a potpourri of questions about our very existence and the nature of life, Crick’s elaboration on Directed Panspermia bears implications not only for life’s origins on Earth but also for Humanity’s future. First, he addresses the probability of intelligent life elsewhere. Second, he sparks a debate about whether we, in turn, should be directed panspermists trying to spread our version of the genetic code about the universe.
Crick imagined unmanned rockets with cargoes of primitive spores organized into life by DNA that included planet Earth as a potential landing and seeding site. DNA could also have hitched a ride on such heavenly bodies as meteors or comets. For example, the famous Murchison meteor that hit Australia in 1969 had dozens of organic compounds, including amino acids, and revealed its age at over seven billion years.
Survival of the journey, impacting Earth, and surviving and evolving, are all addressed by Crick. He describes the Big Bang and the nature and expanse of the universe in determining an estimate of the chances that life exists elsewhere.
If Crick proves to be correct, then the same seeds could have spawned life on many planets. These life forms on other planets could have given rise to “brothers, sisters, and cousins.” Perhaps timely visits by the engineers to those planets which had an atmosphere with oxygen, bore life, to tweak life further towards advanced intelligence in preparation for eventually increased hybridization would be a good Darwinian strategy to spread one’s civilization and genes armed with viable adaptation strategies already in place.
One rather disturbing possibility for pure humanists and religious folk alike, not considered by Crick, is that DNA arose from alien artificial intelligence's design and propagation efforts.
PREFACE TO LIFE ITSELF
So Where Are They?
Enrico Fermi, the renowned Italian physicist, led the team to construct the first atomic pile for nuclear bombs. Fermi’s question updated: if the universe is vast with billions of suns like ours, and our galaxy alone has 1011 (a thousand billion) stars, and there may be as many as a trillion galaxies each having at least half a trillion planets, then planets hospitable to life as we know may number in the billions, and advanced civilizations routinely develop from primordial soup and travel about the universe seeking out interesting and bountiful planets to study, conquer, enslave, form an alliance with, or form hybrids with us, then where are all of the space travelers? Of course, our government’s obvious efforts to cover up or dismiss UFO sightings and crashes, dismiss reports of spotting aliens themselves, or alleged abductions for decades are another issue altogether. If aliens landed and even communicated with one or more world governments, they would not tell us anyway in the interest of “national security” or “preventing panic.”
