"Among many other things, this Colonel claims that we got things such as nightvision, fibre optics, and microchips etc from aliens crashes, not JUST roswell, but many over time."
So, the people who published their work that resulted in nightvision, fiber optics, microchips, etc., are all lying? And they've completely fooled EVERYBODY who reviewed their work? And the people who did the work that was the foundation of the abovementioned work also were in on the con? And nobody noticed this?
Corso is a crock.

Don't let Gawdzilla get to you. He is a blind debunker. He would rather insult the source than dig for facts himself. Plus he always has something rude to say and its usually along these lines. I would just wait for the actual level headed skeptics to comment. As far as Gawdzilla goes, take everything he says with a spoonful of thallium.
I have to agree with him however () on the fact that we cannot really beleive the human race had nothing to do with technology. We are smart enough to figure some stuff out on our own without relying on aliens.

A little bit of thalium would be a good thing for everybody, I think.
Ad homs aside, however, what problem do you have with debunking I did on Corso's nonsense? The developmental history of all those items is well documented. Corso's documentation comes from a lack of Aricept.

I have to disagree with Gawd on this one....because I've read the book twice.
It isn't that the technology magically fell into our laps....it was the very 'concepts' that stimulated the research at places such as Bell Lab, etc.
Perhaps a stupid analogy, but using 'Star Trek' as example: Sliding doors that open as you approach (a stagehand off camera did it) yet, someone saw it and thought "Neato!" and invented a system. 'Communicators' and flip cellphones. Medical scanners...thre are some rudimentary devices in use....CT scans? Just some examples, and this all from a fictional show.
One of Corso's mentions was the IC. The very idea micro-circuits for use in transistors was inspired by reverse-engineered tech. It was up to the genius of the humans to run with the ideas, and figure out how to do it.
I like to compare it to what the Wright Bros. would be up against if you gave them a fully operational B747...or, even a crashed one, then told them that it once flew....
