In the same number of years that Moses wandered the wilderness, the first modest appearance of UFO's in America evolved to epic proportions. It began when businessman Kenneth Arnold reported nine shiny disks that skipped above Mt. Rainier like flying saucers in June, 1947. Less than a month after Arnold's sighting, the July 8 issue of The Roswell Daily Record carried a story about a flying saucer crash at Roswell, New Mexico July 4, 1947. The night of the crash the Army's 509th Division descended on Roswell and a press release explaining that the debris was just a weather balloon was soon released.

In 1952 the FBI convened the Robertson Panel to study UFO's at the request of the CIA, which had been recently created as a spy organization in the Cold War. The panel's recommendation for debunking the aura of mystery around the UFO's remains America's official policy. Shrouded with mythical cosmology, the first 40 years of ufology unfolded with staggering implications about direct physical or indirect metaphysical components of UFO's. Whether physical traces, data correlations or secondary witnesses, evidence supporting numerous UFO events has been acquired. Breakthroughs in transistors gleaned from the flying saucer at Roswell ignited a technological revolution that empowered the high-tech intrigues of Hollywood's special agent James Bond as well as the real-time moon walk of the Apollo crew.

Fifty years after the UFO crash, the post-retirement revelations of Colonel Philip Corso, U.S. Army Intelligence, reported that technology reverse engineered from crash debris at Roswell had changed the history of Earth. He recorded the history-changing events of the crashed UFO at Roswell that he directly participated in for his grandchildren in his book, The Day After Roswell , published in 1997. Corso's account of his role injecting alien technology into American industry has never been acknowledged by military or White House officials. Neither have they denied it.
