I’m fascinated with Roswell theories. Though the one I’ve latched onto the most doesn’t involve aliens, I still like hearing the extraterrestrial takes.

This book is a detailed account of Philip Corso’s alleged encounter with the aftermath of the Roswell incident including documents and alien bodies. The story spans a surprising length of time and also discusses other UFO related situations around that time.

Do I believe the information presented? Parts of it. I like to keep my opinions objective. Some of what was said seems a little out there for me. However, what I struggled with was how many different subjects the book trialed off to. It was more about UFOs in general.

The Day After Roswell is a fun and insightful memoir on all the things that supposedly happened behind the scenes in the government and military after that infamous Roswell crash, written by a high ranking official who saw it all for himself. If you’re into the science behind many of the technological advances we now take for granted, it’s a great read.

This was a reread from when I was in High School. The book seriously changed my entire view of the world. Today the book still holds up over two decades later and stands actually cross validates with more current work done sense. Truly intriguing.
