The Controversial Colonel Corso in his book, "The Day After Roswell" has
one complete chapter on the prospect that the allegedly captured aliens
from Roswell were robots of a sort. I have to see that as something worth
considering but with a different spin. If the "products of measured
intelligence" can all be matched or exceeded by robots today using the
state-of-the-art technology (as I conclude in the Epilogue of "Machine
Psychology") then military intelligence cannot afford to ignore
this. Black Projects must be dealing with this in some way right now
because the prospect then exists of a robotic military intelligence centre
having robots working tirelessly 24 hours a day on advancing military
science and those robots are more intelligent than competing human
military scientists, as defined above. No military worth its salt can
afford to ignore the possibility of an enemy having such an installation.
Theoretically, Japan for example could race centuries past the US with a
hidden installation no bigger than a box car. And those "aliens" could
then be advanced robots from centres such as this.
