Colonel Philip J. Corso (1915-1998)
playerDefense & Military-Industrial
An Army colonel claimed the US secretly seeded alien technology into industry - then died of a heart attack a year after saying so.
Who they are
Colonel Philip J. Corso (1915-1998), a US Army officer and WWII veteran.
What they do
He is a figure the engine tracks around claims of hidden reverse-engineered technology.
How it works
He worked under Eisenhower's National Security Council (1953-57) and at the Pentagon's Foreign Technology Desk; his 1997 book The Day After Roswell claimed the military seeded reverse-engineered non-human tech (fiber optics, microchips, lasers, Kevlar) into defense contractors. He died about 13 months after publication of a heart attack at age 83.
Why it matters
The engine keeps both readings open - official natural death versus a disputed claim of an induced heart attack to stop his testimony - without picking one.
