NEW BOOK CLAIMS TO BLOW LID ON ROSWELL

If rumors are true, a high-level military figure is about to tell all he
knows about the famed 1947 Roswell incident, and that could be a lot. Colonel
Philip J. Corso reportedly served on President Eisenhower's National Security
Council and also headed the Foreign Technology Desk at the U.S. Army's
Research and Development Department. Corso's book, "The Day After Roswell,"
(co-written with William J. Birnes) will be published in July by Pocket
Books, a division of Simon and Schuster. According to an announcement from
the publisher:

"Since 1947, the mysterious crash of an unidentified aircraft in Roswell, New
Mexico, has fueled a firestorm of speculation and controversy about whether
the craft actually was of another world. No solid evidence has existed to
prove the alien theory... until now. Colonel Philip J. Corso (ret.) has come
forward to tell the whole explosive story.

"Backed by newly declassified documents, Colonel Corso (ret.) reveals his
personal stewardship of alien artifacts from the crash, how these items
changed the course of twentieth century history, and the U.S. government's
astonishing role in covering up the incident. Laying bare some of the
government's most closely guarded secrets, "The Day After Roswell" forces us
to reconsider our past, as well as our role in the universe.

"Colonel Philip Corso was a key Army intelligence officer on President
Eisenhower's White House staff. During his 21-year military career, Corso was
honored with 19 medals, decorations and ribbons for meritorious service. He
was retired from the Army in 1965.

"To help celebrate Roswell's fiftieth anniversary, {the Publisher] will kick
off the book's publication with an event at the site of the crash. Corso will
walk the media through the crash site while providing never-before-heard
documentation surrounding extraterrestrial artifacts and government
cover-ups."

CNI News comments: There have been many Roswell "insiders" over the years
whose testimony did not live up to expectations, or could not be
authenticated. Will Corso be different? We hope so, but we're not holding our
breath (yet). His publicist says he will not do any interviews until
publication time, but various claims about his background can and will be
checked. We are very curious to find out WHICH crash site Col. Corso will
identify as THE crash site, since there are, at last count, no fewer than
five contenders. But if Corso actually claims "personal stewardship of alien
artifacts from the crash," he may prove to be the most impressive Roswell
witness yet.
