Now on audio! The best-selling exposé that ends the decades-old controversy surrounding the infamous and mysterious crash of an unidentified aircraft at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.

Backed by documents declassified through the Freedom of Information Act, Colonel Philip J. Corso (Ret.), a member of President Eisenhower's National Security Council and former head of the Foreign Technology Desk in the US Army, has come forward to reveal his personal stewardship of alien artifacts from the Roswell crash. He tells us how he spearheaded the army's reverse-engineering project that led to today's integrated circuit chips, fiber optics, lasers, and super-tenacity fibers and "seeded" the Roswell alien technology to giants of American industry. Laying bare the US government's shocking role in the Roswell incident - what was found, the cover-up, and how they used alien artifacts to change the course of 20th-century history - The Day After Roswell is an extraordinary memoir that forces us to reconsider not only the past but also our role in the universe.

The first thing is, It kept me interested. There were a few repetitive areas where previous information was repeated to explain something.

The second thing is, our guy isn't a scientist let alone an extraterrestrial engineer. Just a couple of the explanations presented won't go over well with physicists, but you have to remember that the explanations aren't from a scientist. The majority is plausible.

The book doesn't read like a fiction novel. The narrator is not great, but okay considering the material.

This is a very cool story by Philip Corso but until there is any evidence supporting his claims this book should be filed as science fiction. I believe there may be some truths to his claims but it is sensationalized in the book. If this was written more like an autobiography rather a sensational science fiction novel it would be more believable. Obviously all of the dialog between Corso and others is made up to carry the story but it would have been better to just stick to the facts and provide hard evidence to support the claims.

cool story but it is science fiction

Book was enlightening but narration could have been better. Story is amazing but needs a different voice to tell it.

Straight from the horses mouth — a man who had nine levels above top secret. The narration sounded like Tony Saprano, this was less surprising hearing at the end that the audiobook was produced in New Jersey. After hearing Col. Corso interviews, this was actually a good selection as he seems to be a no-nonsense and a military wise-ass at the same time.

Because this is a first hand account of what 'really' happened in the 1947 Roswell crash from someone at such high level / rank, it's likely the definitive guide on the subject. The talk of the bureaucratic layers and politics within the government were all too real to make this phony nonsense, and many of the new technological discoveries / arms race in the time period of the USA/USSR Cold War line up directly with what Ben Rich purported in his book Skunk Works. Corso also outlines many technologies which he claims have 'off-world / alien' origin that were reverse-engineered from the craft: such as integrated circuits, night vision, lasers, aramid bulletproof fibers (Kevlar), smart/memory fabrics & metals, and one of the biggest discoveries — fiber optics (which allow for the high-speed data transfers that make the internet possible via undersea cable networks). He even goes into detail about how the famous American physicist Richard Feynman's groundbreaking work may have been influenced by some of the top secret discoveries gathered from the crash site, which he was granted access to in a 'Manhattan Project' style operation (commonly dubbed the SDI or 'Star Wars').

You be the judge for yourself whether this is all fact or fiction — but this book remains a captivating, compelling, wild ride nonetheless.

This book was entertaining and interesting, however it goes off course at times to let you know how Col Corso single handed came up with the space camp, defeated the Cuban Missile crisis and was able to stop congress from prosecuting the general over the use of agent orange.
