Situation is kind of different since researching about The Day After Roswell, Book by Philip J. Corso from 1997. High ranking military officer. Then he dies the year after.
What's interesting is how this video, Area 51: The Alien Interview (1997), comes out right around that time.
I saw this video years ago.. here.. let me get that.

It sure seems "muppetish" though but after Corso's book.. it's not bullshit. Some of this real stuff, it might be like.. looks bogus but could be real. They like how those things make it seem like hogwash.
Here's that video.. when it came out, the whistle blower's voice was low.. seems like somebody shifted it so it sounds normal.

I'll continue in the comments where I talk to google gemini AI about this stuff.
[Part 2] Around that time you had this alien autopsy on TV. It mentioned how in 2006 those guys came out and said it was bogus. That was 95. That thing looked like a rubber movie prop.

I think you get them coming out with this before.. "disinformation".. yet it's really going on, from the Corso book.. Then they come out with this DNI video, where they'll think it's more hogwash.

Couple minutes in. They're talking to the guys who did the autopsy one.
Gemini is talking about how this one's bogus but it didn't get any definitive info about the DNI video, where it said, oh yeah that's for sure fake.
ok I keep going here
the whole corso story.. did he talk about interviewing the aliens or autopsies?
That's an important distinction to make. In his book, "The Day After Roswell," Colonel Philip J. Corso did not claim to have interviewed aliens or performed autopsies on them.
His narrative is focused entirely on a different aspect of the Roswell incident. Corso claimed that the Army, which he was a part of, recovered the wreckage and alien bodies. However, his personal role, he asserted, was much later in the process.
Corso's story is about his alleged task of reverse-engineering the technology found in the wreckage and then "seeding" that technology—things like integrated circuits and fiber optics—to American corporations to fuel technological advancement. He did, however, claim to have seen the body of an extraterrestrial in a shipping crate. But his role was never to conduct interviews or autopsies. That part of the lore comes from other sources and claims, like the separate "Alien Autopsy" footage.
yeah he saw them in crates and that was it, right.. so they were already dead
Yes, that's exactly right. According to his account in "The Day After Roswell," Philip Corso's interaction with the alien bodies was limited to seeing one in a shipping crate. He did not claim to have seen or handled a live alien, nor did he talk about being involved in any autopsies. His story focused on the dead, recovered beings and the technology from the wreckage.
