The Day After Roswell is an American book about extraterrestrial spacecraft and the Roswell UFO incident. It was written by United States Army Colonel Philip J. Corso, with help from William J. Birnes, and was published as a tell-all memoir by Pocket Booksin 1997, a year before Corso's death. The book claims that an extraterrestrial spacecraft crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 and was recovered by the United States government who then sought to cover up all evidence of extraterrestrials.
The majority of the book is an account of Colonel Corso's claims that he was assigned to a secret government program that provided some material recovered from crashed spacecraft to private industry (without saying where the items came from) to reverse engineer them for corporate use. Corso was a Special Assistant to Lt General Arthur Trudeau, who headed Army Research and Development, and was in charge of the Foreign Technology Desk. In this position, he would take technological artifacts obtained from Russian, German and other foreign sources, and have American companies reverse engineer that technology. The book contends that several aspects of modern technology such as fiber optics and computer chips were developed by using information taken from the craft.
Colonel Corso also claimed the world was "at war" with extraterrestrials and that the Strategic Defense Initiative project was part of that campaign that was successfully concluded in Earth's favour.

Several years ago my elderly neighbor and I got into a discussion about UFOs. My neighbor is in his 80's but proved to be unusually 'knowledgeable' about UFOs and explained he was based at Tripler Military Hospital, Hawaii, around 1952. He had met a man he has code named 'Pat'. Pat apparently had been based in Fort Riley June 1947.
My neighbor was giving me so much information I could not contain it all so he offered to write out notes from his old diary. His military training conditioned him to write down everything right to this day. Anyway i now have 10 hand written pages of notes mainly information provided by discussions with mystery man 'Pat' and a then there is much information about a Colonel Phil Corso.

I realize this is a strange situation--and to make it worse my neighbor does not remember giving me the papers. He's going senile I think. But there are things written that i wanted to clarify with him but this seems impossible now...
I have a scanner but I've never used it. I'll give it a go. There are 10 pages and I have managed to decipher most of the words. I've had these papers for over 5 years but put them aside because I thought they may have been paraphrases from The Day After Roswell by Col Philip J Corso:

This morning July 8, 2013, I visited my neighbor 93 yr old -snip-. He has give me permission to only disclose some of the information he revealed today and I will honor that request. I have taken some photos which I have emailed to IsaacKoi.
Diaries were destroyed be well meaning social worker 2 years ago but plenty of evidence of service..
Mr -snip- "come out of secrecy" in 1996 but he couldn't fathom how he had ever given me those notes in 2007. Unfortunately the identity of 'Pat' cannot be disclosed. It was Frank's JOB to find out everything Pat knew about Roswell. incident. He would do this by befriending him by inviting him onto bowling team. This way (in an informal setting) he could reach all targets from any of the military services who were deliberately sent to Tripler for this purpose. Frank's orders were to "find out everything any given X knows".

No offense...but it's hard to look over the material, even without knowing a good deal about Roswell, without considering the source.
I get solicited 2-3x's a WEEK with crap like this by people who cannot and will not make the basic requirements at ATS to post their own thread. I've yet to play front man for one of their goose chases...and I'm sorry one found a willing middle man to run the material up the ATS pole.
eeeek... When he gets 20 posts of his very own ...he can put his very own name to it and stand behind his own presentation. That's my general thinking. If that's too much to ask? So is reading his material. No offense to you, OP. Heck.. I almost did fall for the first couple solicitations I got, cold, to run other people's material.

Yes...I finally did read the posts by (Bwise2) and realized (the author of this thread) was given permission; I don't know the author of this thread...but I now do realize (he or she) is a person to trust.
I really don't think questioning people is wrong; I was just curious.

Ultimately it is up to you to make your mind up on if this evidence is real or false, bearing in mind these notes are from a secondary, well actually tertiary source.
At present I remain somewhat doubtful we have anything new here.

What is the historical precedent for the term EBE or Extraterrestrial Biological Entity? When does it first show up in the ufological realm?
....... I myself am of the opinion that Roswell has been used for psyops purposes and that we have no crashed craft.

Yes - that could explain more than just Roswell. The UFO phenomenon provides a great cover story for all sorts of clandestine operations.

This is interesting. I can't stand when people handwrite in cursive when it isn't legible? You know if your own writing is legible or not, I can't even make out a good bit of these "notes".
It only metions things like we already assume, minus the features of the "EBE"......
Could have been a little better description of the little guy if he really saw it, but I can't discredit the whole thing because of that.....Interesting? Yup......New info? Not really......Hoax? Nope....There isn't much there that couldn't be confirmed to call it a hoax IMO....
