Aren't we drifting off course here? Corso's claim is about integrated
circuitry, if I remember aright, not the transistor itself. He doesn't even
arrive on the scene until 1961. And although he claims to have managed his
many miracles within the next two years, his record shows that his Pentagon
assignment at that period lasted a mere 90 days or so.

Hard as it may be to believe or accept, folks, the Corso book is a complete
hoax from the word go. It is a fraud intended to make money and nothing
else. To give it anything other than the time of day is to waste your
valuable time. You might as well claim that an 1899 saucer crash was
responsible for Einstein's General and Special Theory of Relativity--which
ultimately resulted in the laser and the atom bomb.

To accept Corso at face value is to demean yourself, in the same way that he
demeans his own military colleagues, all those who died in the allegedly
misdirected Cold War, and those terrestrial scientists ultimately deserving
of their due respect and accolades for having contributed to human
understanding. Corso should be ashamed of himself, as should be his
co-author William Birnes. And that goes double for any of you who believe it
for a minute. At least Corso and company have an excuse -- money.

The rest of you have no excuse at all, save for some bewildering and
overwhelming desire to believe each and absolutely every story that comes
down the UFO turnpike. Thus you get the ufology you deserve, from Roger
Leir, Derrel Sims, Philip Corso, John Lear and Robert Morning Sky, to Robert
Lazar, Art Bell, Michael Hessemann, and Bob Dean. A pox on the lot of you
for taking such silliness seriously.
