Don’t miss the bestselling exposé that finally ends the decades-old controversy surrounding the infamous and mysterious crash of an unidentified aircraft at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.

Backed by documents newly 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 twentieth-century history—The Day After Roswell is an extraordinary memoir that not only forces us to reconsider the past, but also our role in the universe.

Popular Highlights in this book

What are popular highlights?

The craft was able to displace gravity through the propagation of magnetic wave, controlled by shifting the magnetic poles around the craft so as to control, or vector, not a propulsion system but the repulsion force of like charges.

The vehicle was simply an extension of their own bodies because it was tied into their neurological systems in ways that even today we are just beginning to utilize.

Flying saucers did truly buzz over Washington, D.C., in 1952, and there are plenty of photographs and radar reports to substantiate it.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

If you've ever wondered what crashed into the desert near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, this book will give you some startling answers. While the first version was published in hardcover in 1997, Corso provides new evidence for the presence of alien intruders in this pocket paperback edition. Whether or not you believe his contention, the sheer weight of governmental sources and documentation presented by the former Army intelligence officer is not easily dismissed. Once you understand the historical context (in the midst of the Cold War soon after World War II, with Orson Welles having recently inspired panic in citizens with his fictional War of the Worlds radio broadcast), the military deciding to cover up a real-life alien ship becomes more credible. Corso also gives a convincing explanation of why reports were so multi-various and conflicting. Even if you believe the book is utter fiction, it's still a compelling read. --Randall Cohan

Review

Bob Raimonto Staten Island Advance (NY) Stunning...A riveting account of Roswell and its aftermath.

Sharon Chance Times Record News (Wichita Falls, TX) The Day After Roswell could be the most significant and important book since the Bible.

Tim Clodfelter Winston-Salem Journal (NC) This book [is] a godsend, one that finally gives the details and names the names.

I read this as fiction

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

As long as I read this as fiction, it's an engaging thriller. Lots of adventure. Secrets. Space aliens and flying saucers. Cold War antics. Copyright 1997 and this is the 1999 edition, it is a fun read.

But I'll mention three things that derail any "willing suspension of disbelief:" the wrong date for the USAF's establishment, mention of the panic over the 1938 broadcast of War of the Worlds, and the blather about developing the Meal, Ready to Eat (MRE).

The United States Air Force was established on 18 September 1947 (by coincidence the same date that is the official Central Intelligence Agency's birthday)--the author placed it a year later. This is important because the Berlin Air Lift began during June 1948--and did NOT involve the United States Army Air Force because the United States Air Force had been created some nine months prior. The Berlin Air Lift was the first public American victory of the Cold War. Dates!

As for War of the Worlds, when I was taking American History in 1974 my teacher brought that mass panic up as part of our history lesson. I was a stupid little brat--I asked about the supporting documentation of that panic: governors ordering their National Guards to duty, police blotter reports, insurance company claims, hospital records, fire department call-outs, and exactly how many people could hear that Mercury Theater broadcast during the period 8:15 to 9:30 PM Eastern Standard Time on 30 October 1938? I recited a few things that I had experienced--while an Air Force brat in Germany there was the Berlin Wall going up, there was the Cuban Missile Crisis. I mentioned the Long Hot Summers of the Sixties when race riots rocked multiple American cities--and the riots following Martin Luther King's murders. All of these things left a massive paper trail. Where's the War of the Worlds panic (millions, reportedly) paper trail? Where are the graveyard headstones with the epitaph "died during the War of the Worlds broadcast due to panic on 30 October 1938?" Okay--the headstone may be too much to expect. Modern scholars investigating the War of the Worlds panic have found a decided lack of evidence--aside from newspaper reports. One of those newspapers gleefully reporting on the dangers of broadcast radio was also reporting the Workers Paradise, the USSR, in glowing terms. Don't believe everything you read in the papers!

I've been familiar with military rations since childhood. In the early 1960's I asked my Air Force father why there were soup cans with a display of military camping equipment in the Base Exchange and was told that those were the old C-Rations. Patents for irradiated food were issued in the USA and Britain in 1905. Read the history of the MRE and its long gestation period--irradiated food was part of the atomic energy program in the mid 1940's and featured in the Disney film, "Our Friend, the Atom." The author claims to have kick-started the MRE program in the early Sixties--and may have--but there had been work along those lines decades prior to the Roswell Incident.

Each point casts doubt upon this Roswell story. But you decide--if you're reading this you can research the issue and make up your own mind.

This book speaks the truth. Not a story for the faint of heart but for those of strong faith.
I personally knew Nathan Twinning in the mid sixtys and we had conversations as I was a Astronomey major He supported what I already knew as well as my own life changing experience he even acknowledged and was aware of the event as it was related to Vandenberg AFB at the time

Too Much Detail!

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2023

Verified Purchase

I didn't finish the book. It got really boring with all the military and government detail. I started skipping over a lot of it because it was boring and was giving me a headache... really! Maybe it got better, and maybe I can handle it another time. Maybe I can start over and have a new perspective, but for now I gave up and started another book.

It was very well written, so informative, and easy to follow. I learned so much. Answers to questions I didn't know I even had. It explained so much about where Anerica was and how we got to where we are due to the crash at Roswell and some VERY forward thinking men.

Wow! Just "Wow!"

Reviewed in Canada on December 30, 2023

Verified Purchase

If you like reading about unexplained or UFO claims, ideas, thoughts and speculations, then this is one heck of a read.

The author is one of the military men who was directly involved with the crash site near Roswell, New Mexico and his story about the aftermath is absolutely fascinating. If all true, it represents a huge jump in technologies that have become common place here on earth.

If you are reading - or have read - a number of UFO books, this is one of the few books that are recommended as one of the essential ones you must read. If you have a small UFO library, again, this is one you must have.

A truly great read, and who knows, it could be one of the most important books ever written.

Paid for with my own money - and worth every penny! Thanks

No one can be sure if UFO's are real or not. Whether you believe the claims in this book or not, it is a very good read in itself.
