Colonel Philip J. Corso

What is current situation in Corso case? Is he's claims getting any real evidence to back up?

Who do not know: Corso claims

Through his work, Corso claims, Americans now are able to do such things as see through night-vision devices, find their way with laser tracking equipment, feel secure while wearing Kevlar bulletproof vests, cruise the information superhighway thanks to their computers’ integrated circuit chips and live in a world made safer for democracy due to the fall of the Soviet empire.


And here I thought that there was a clearly documented logical progression for the development of integrated circuits, night vision, and lasers. Boy, are all those patent-holders going to be mad when Zyrcn^goop! from the planet Mxyr44 sues them for copyright infringement and damages from loss of income... :D

Kevlar. was invented by Stephanie Kwolek (http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventors/kwolek.htm)
The silicon chip was invented by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce (http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa080498.htm)
Night vision was invented during WWII, before the Roswell incident (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/10/1018_wirenightvision.html)

Ok, thanks.

What i already thinked, that inventors are those scientists. But could be possibly, that they have some help to invented their system with some outside help?

I don't believe, that "if" some alien technology was taken and used, that it rightly used what it was, but propably studiet and copied some features on it.

I recommend Occams Razor for a nice, close shave. :D

Didn't you notice that nightvision was invented BEFORE Roswell?

Ahhh but Corso claims in his book that the Nazi's had a captured saucer even before Roswell. So maybe nightvision was from the Nazi's by way of the space aliens.

See there is always a rational explanation for everything if only you wouldn't be so darn skeptical!

Yep - darn skepticism! ;)

Well, since night vision was developed for use by American, British and Soviet's during WWII, I'd love to hear his rationale for why the Nazi's (who didn't ever use it) would give it up to the Allies and not make use of it themselves... that must be one helluva spy story! :D

No. It is a silly story with no background in reality.

The story has no internal logic and all the technologies are clear products of a long and detailed chain of perfectly mundane experiments and tests (though undoubtedly made by clever and insightful people).

I suggest you watch the news to see how all this amazing alien technology has made US and European soldiers invincible and all powerful.
(I.e. it hasn't.)

Well said. And sadly, there are over 1,000 now-silent testimonials to that fact in caskets from Iraq.
