"The Roswell UFO Crash" By Kal K. Korff


Title: The Roswell UFO Crash: What They Don't Want You To Know
Author: Kal K. Korff
Published Year: 1997
Pages: 318
Genre: Non-fiction


While at work I had this sitting on my desk and my co-worker grabbed it to glance at it. His remark was that it looked just like the splurge of books on Roswell that came out in the 70s and looked at the published date to see just how old this is. Nope not written in the 1970s, but in the late 90s. This observation alone shows that the Roswell incident in the 1940s is still a hot topic among UFO and paranormal researchers all the way to the current times.

Unlike other Roswell books though, Korff takes a different approach to the facts and findings he presents based on his research on the topic. He has researched UFOs and has written other books on the subject as well. However he does not fully believe all that is presented and shows the reader the other side of the story which is evidence that shows how much of the so-called evidence can really not be trusted. He goes so far as to call other writers on the subject "pro-Roswell" because they seem to dismiss glaring facts that question the witnesses testimonies. Since Roswell is highly based on witness testimony, these badly researched statements bring the whole ordeal into question.

I personally have been to Area 51 (outside the gated area of course, there really were MPs in jeeps watching our every moves) and to the actual town of Roswell. I have been interested in UFOs and other paranormal activity since elementary school. However, this book brought another side to the story with back-up documentation that questions how I think about the Roswell incident. All I can say is I need to look into even more research options on the subject and fully develop my own beliefs about what happened there in the 1940s.

One lesson for the reader on this book is, always look for an alternative view and research, you'll be surprised what you learn and others ideas on the same topics.
