The Roswell Ufo Crash: What They Don't Want You to Know

Rating:
Summary: Yes, there was a cover-up !
Review: By the so called "ufologists," actually. It is really difficult to take one seriously when one doesn't take his job seriously. And that is the problem with "ufologists." Every claim that fits their scheme is valid, and they go unchecked. Hearsay becomes the truth, if it complies with their beliefs. It looks just like another sect.

This book uses the very material provided by the believers to show the incongruences of their stories. It doesn't try to prove if Roswell's UFO crash happened or not. Mostly, it checks the "evidence" provided and when it gets scrutinized, little remains. In order to do this, the author verifies basic documentation (which, of course, believers didn't look for) to prove some "witnesses" can't be trusted.

The author hardly expresses his opinions, he presents information hidden by UFO fanatics and the truth is obvious.

A great book, but not a fun one. If you are up to fantasies, don't read this one. Go see some Hollywood movie or read a book that makes up a Roswell case. (By the way, in my opinion aliens may be visiting our planet, but it's got to be proven by serious people)

Summary: Roswell - The Truth At Last
Review: I've always believed that truth is more interesting than fiction, and far more interesting than lies. Over the past 20 years numerous books, articles, movies, and television shows have convinced millions of Americans that a flying saucer crashed in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico, in the summer of 1947. I once believed it myself. Now, veteran researcher Kal Korff has painstakingly dismantled the elaborate construction of lies and misconceptions that have fed this modern myth, and presented for the first time a lucid and coherent account of what was really going on in the New Mexico desert back in the summer of 1947.

And there WERE things going on out there, but they had nothing to do with flying saucers and everything to do with the Cold War and with America's need to monitor the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons program. But read the book. Good research is something that there is not enough of in the field of UFO's, and Korff has done his job. I for one believe that there is nothing at all disappointing about the truth, even if it turns out to be of the down-to-earth variety.

Summary: "You Can't Handle the Truth!"
Review: Yeesh, some of these other reviews make me ill. "Government propagandist"? "Disinformation agent"? Some reviewers have been watching too many old episodes of the X-FILES.

Korff is not an expert at elegant prose. Yes, his writing style can be irritating. Yes, it takes some of the shine off of this book. But were it really counts--the CONTENT--Korff is spot-on in his analysis and investivation of the Roswell events and the legend that has arisen around them. I'd been a Roswell entusiest for years when I discovered Korff's book. Coming on the heels of the debunking of the infamous "Roswell autopsy," Korff's book was a huge discovery for me. Critical thinking abounds, as does actual *evidence* ... something other Roswell books always tend to lack.

There seems to be an organized campaign amongst Roswell believers to discredit Korff. It's a silly, ridiculous attempt to cling to their beliefs. Read this book yourself, then YOU decide which side has more evidence, more arguments, more *meat*.
