Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It's always an excitement for me to be able to lend a small, scholarly insight when I review a documentary. So many great docs exist, and I've reviewed so few of them. This thing here, THE DAY AFTER ROSWELL, will teach something about gullibility factors and the U.S. government's penchant for pulling pranks on We, the People.
This clown, Col. Philip Corso, who was some little pencil-pusher at the time of the Roswell incident in the 1940s, rocketed to fame when he came forward as an elderly man in the 1990s--he claimed he and he alone was responsible for retro-engineering the alien technology retrieved at the Roswell "crash site". Corso took credit for everything that, as far as I know, was actually invented by the great Jerry Lemelson: lasers, fiber optics, cryosurgery etc.
And they say only the top brass is completely screwy!
This documentary is excellent in the sense that it does, indeed, reveal the true origins of all the inventions, including the polymer-based superfabrics. Things Corso says he retro-engineered from extraterrestrials. The documentary makes Corso look like the fool that he was...but I did find it intriguing the way it helpfully animated for us the extraterrestrial technology as Corso described it.
Chalk this up to fine skeptical minds dissecting more absurd claims; they do a good job making mincemeat out of Corso's claims.
What I wanted to know after seeing this was: What the hell IS going on in this country?
