Roswell 1947 as retold by Corso in The Day After Roswell (review)
1947 ยท Roswell, New Mexico, United States
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
Diana Cammack's review restates Corso's version of the 1947 Roswell crash: a saucer and extraterrestrial biological entities recovered, with artefacts and notes kept in a Pentagon 'nut file' to which he says he was given access in the early 1960s on the Army's Foreign Technology Desk. Under Lt Gen Arthur Trudeau he claims to have fed the material into American research laboratories, yielding night vision, lasers, fibre optics, improved integrated circuitry and particle beam weapons, and that Truman's advisers set up a government within a government to guard the secret. Commentators quoted from Skywatch International think Corso told part of the truth; critics point to errors of dates, names and places.
What Hind made of it
The editors say they do not necessarily agree with their reviewers; Cammack cannot judge the factual errors but places Corso in the hostile-invaders school.
Explanation offered
Loman: some of Corso's craft may have been 'ours'; Mitchell: much came from Earth scientists offended at lack of credit
