In 1997, a retired military intelligence officer released a book that caused a firestorm of controversy. The book was called The Day After Roswell and seemed to confirm many long-held suspicions of the UFO conspiracy community, suspicions that seemed to reaching a boiling point as the book hit the stores:
Colonel Philip J Corso explains how he gained access to the Roswell files whilst working at the Foreign Technology Desk, R+D at the Pentagon. Corso explains how the extraterrestrial technology was retrieved and reverse engineered by corporations who were granted the patents for such technology. Corso also explains how an organization was set up within the government which would seal the lid on the extraterrestrial presence and make it inaccessible to future presidental administrations
Among the products that Corso says resulted from the Roswell debris were:
Image intensifiers, which ultimately became "night vision," Fiber optics, Supertenacity fibers, Lasers, Molecular alignment metallic alloys, Integrated circuits and microminiaturization of logic boards, HARP (High Altitude Research Project), Project Horizon (a military base on the Moon to compete with both the Russians and the aliens.), Portable atomic generators (ion propulsion drive), Irradiated food, "Third Brain" guidance systems (based on the headbands reportedly used by the aliens), Particle beams ("Star Wars" antimissle energy weapons), Electromagnetic propulsion systems, Depleted uranium projectiles
Have to take some of these with a grain of salt. Lasers and semiconductors were derived from known physics, and the field effect transistor was created in the 1880s by Lillienthal. The point contact transistor by Bell Labs I believe. Silicon Integrated circuits first came from human scientists in Silicon Valley, Caltech, and Berkeley. Image intensifiers existed before Roswell, as vacuum tube devices. They may have been refined after Roswell though. HAARP (misspelled here in the quote!) is about ionosphere manipulation by large radio arrays and it has no connection to UFO technology.
Should take everything with a grain of salt. The 1880s patent was just that, a patent. I could patent unicorn saddles doesn't mean they exist. I addressed this is the pt 1 thread.
In 1938 Robert Pohl and Rudolf Hilsch experimented on potassium-bromide crystals with three electrodes at Gottingen University, Germany. They reported amplification of low-frequency (about 1 Hz) signals, but their research did not lead to any applications.
His whole first printing was recalled because of of who prefaced the book for him.
Ordered by Congress to get recalled (!)
Reprinted without preface and released.
NOBODY official has ever countered Col. Corso. btw.
Yep.
Whether they came from under or beyond the ice, or from above the plasma dome.
Postwar Macy Conferences were planning the internet circa 1950.
The name of the book is "The Day After Rosewell"

I think Corso may have been a bit of a con man.

If we wanted to discuss proof of semiconductors we could go back 100 years. Transistor action was not achieved until December 1947.
