Some of the artefacts include semi-conductor chips (responsible for personal computers, laptops, cell phones, even the information revolution with the Internet, peer-to-peer and search engines), lasers, brain scan devices, and fiber optic cables. Now the documentary does present Corso as having enjoyed an interesting career as a military intelligence officer starting as a young man in World War II (he was apparently drafted but made the most of it). His career stalled out in the late 1950s in the reserves, and then he was mysteriously invited to join the Pentagon working for Lt. Gen Trudeau in 1961 (when I was graduating from high school). It is indeed true that technology took off during the Kennedy years. (In those days, tests at school had been duplicated on mimeograph machines!)
There is considerable objective rebuttal to his claims, that most of these technological advances were made by systematic investment and hard work.
Relatively little of the film deals with the aliens or the crash site. I do recall a film "Alien Autopsy" being shown on cable in the middle 1990s a lot (once, as I was about to go out for New Years Eve).
An earlier posting about Area 51 appears in the November 2006 archive (Nov 16) for this blog.
