The Day After Roswell: A Former Pentagon Official Reveals the U.S. Government's Shocking UFO Cover-up

Product Information

But nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman says they were just tossing the public a bone, asking: “Would anyone trust the CIA to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?” Ufologists had previously considered the possibility that the Roswell debris had come from a top-secret balloon. During the final year of World War 2, Japan had launched thousands of paper and silk balloons carrying bombs designed to cause damage and spread panic in the United States.

In 2001, The Guardian included the book in its list of "Top Ten literary hoaxes". [7] Media appearances [ edit ] A hoax with a pernicious and enduring legacy: the Protocols, detailing a plot by a secret cabal of Jewish financiers to take over the world, were probably fabricated in 1905. In the 1920s, Henry Ford fulminated against the 'secret cabal' in his anti-semitic newspaper, and fringe groups have given the Protocols credence ever since. After the Scully debacle, tales of crashed saucers faded from UFO circles for decades. [35] Aztec tale revived (1966–1977) Weeks, Andy (March 30, 2015). Forgotten Tales of Idaho. Arcadia Publishing. ISBN 9781625852465– via Google Books.Corso says a covert government group was assembled under the leadership of Adm. Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, the first director of Central Intelligence (see Majestic 12). Among its tasks was to collect all information on off-planet technology. The US administration simultaneously discounted the existence of flying saucers in the eyes of the public, Corso says. The book argues that an extraterrestrial craft was flying over the New Mexico desert to observe nuclear weapons activity when a lightning strike killed the alien crew and, that after discovering the crash, the US government engaged in a cover-up. [1] seen what the Japanese had done with long range balloons; although not effective as weapons, they did initiate the long-range balloon research which led to use of balloons for the detection and collection of debris from atomic explosion." According to anthropologists Susan Harding and Kathleen Stewart, the Roswell Story was a prime example of how a discourse moved from the fringes to the mainstream according to the prevailing zeitgeist: public preoccupation in the 1980s with "conspiracy, cover-up and repression" aligned well with the Roswell narratives as told in the "sensational books" which were being published. [181] Additionally, skeptics and some social anthropologists [182] saw the increasingly elaborate accounts of alien crash landings and government cover-ups as evidence of a myth being constructed. A scholarly consensus emerged concluding that the military decided to conceal the true purpose of the crashed device– nuclear test monitoring–and instead inform the public that the crash was of a weather balloon. [1] The balloon had been launched from Alamogordo Army Air Field a month earlier. It carried a radar reflector and classified Project Mogul sensors for experimental monitoring of Soviet nuclear testing. [174]

Why all the UFOs

I had the urge to touch the pale grey skin. But I couldn't tell whether it was skin because it also looked like a very thin one-piece head-to-toe fabric covering the creature's flesh."

The show highlights the FBI files released to the public in 2011 including the one below that mentions three flying saucers. In 1945, Corso arranged for the safe passage of 10,000 Jewish World War II refugees out of Rome to the British Mandate of Palestine. He was the personal emissary to Giovanni Battista Montini at the Vatican, later Pope Paul VI, during the period when the " Nazi Rat Lines" were most active. At later hearings in 1992 of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs, Corso testified that he believed hundreds of American POWs were abandoned at these camps. [4] [5] Committee member John McCain stated that his knowledge obtained from those who had personal relationships with Eisenhower led him to believe that Eisenhower was just not capable of allowing known American POWs to remain incarcerated after the termination of the Korean War.Friedman, Stanton; Berliner, Don (1997) [1992].

On July 9, 1947, the US Army identified the debris as an ordinary weather balloon.

Retired colonel Philip Corso had, he claimed in these colourful 1997 memoirs, worked on alien technology recovered from the crash, and managed to obtain a glowing blurb for the book from a US senator. The senator later claimed that he'd been deceived by Corso - his testimonial had been written for a different book altogether - and his plug was removed from later editions.
