1998 —THE SAN MARINO INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM

In 1998, Col. Philip Corso came to Italy with two of his grandsons, Philip and Andrew, and his daughter-in-law, Liz. He was officially invited to a symposium on UFOs and related phenomena at the independent Republic of San Marino that was held on April 4 and 5, 1998. He was a guest along with many researchers including Colin Andrews, Michael Lindeman, Jim Currant, Michael Hesseman, and Budd Hopkins. I have included the program in my book because the event was a historic occasion for these illustrious participants. It was created for them to sign the San Marino Paper, a disclosure resolution from the Independent Republic of San Marino, that was supposed to go the United Nations much like the Grenada resolution initiated by Sir Eric Gairy on October 12, 1978. Colin Andrews references this in the introductory endorsement of Corso because he was there in San Marino.

This resolution never reached the general assembly because of a change in the political structure of the principality. But it was organized by Dr. Roberto Pinotti, Director of our UFO society CUN. Colonel Corso was a very special guest for Italian ufology. The following interviews that he gave us come from this meeting. He was asked many questions by the press and he was very open with the answers. He proceeded to tell the group that he could not put everything in The Day After Roswell book because it was too much to absorb.

Like many others, he spent his life connecting these dots. Many experiences he had in his career led to his conclusions and, whether they be right or wrong, I consider it all a part of history. He answered many of my questions. As I listened to the audiotape, I realized I did not give him a minute to breathe. I was asking questions constantly and following up with the next question before he had a chance to answer the first. I realized I was getting this information from a seasoned veteran, responsible commander, and intelligent thinker; a very special man who believed he was placed at the right place at the right time. Corso always questioned why he was involved with these historical events, whether they be the second world war, the commander of a nuclear missile Battalion, a soldier who fought the war in Korea, a consultant at Sperry Rand Corporation, or in R&D in the Pentagon, in the 1960s.

It was obvious from speaking to Colonel Corso that he and General Trudeau had a very close relationship and each one would bounce ideas back and forth. They tried to figure out the many unanswered questions. When he would talk to me and Maurizio, he was stressed that he would be advised by some of his German scientists so we knew that German scientists were involved in some of these projects, in particular, Hermann Oberth.[4] He also mentioned Wilbur Smith, the Canadian physicist, many times. So, what was happening was that Colonel Corso had the benefit of exchanging ideas with insiders who already knew somewhat what the UFO scenario was.
