The Randle Report, by Kevin D. Randle explores UFO research in the1990’s. Inreading his book I have gained much knowledge of how to determine whetherinformation submitted as proof of extraterrestrial existence is valid or bogus,and the truth (from a scientificstandpoint) about several famous unidentifiedphenomenoms. Much information is submitted to substantiate extraterrestrialexistence.
This information comes in many forms but the most common are: video,photography, and sworn testimony. Once this information is introduced UFOresearchers have to test the authenticity of the information. In 1995 aman namedRay Santilli claimed to have authentic footage of the allegedRoswell alienautopsy. Although it was very interesting, it was most definitly a hoax. Thisconclusion came after the data from many tests (performed by unbiased scientistsand experts in their respected fields) showed that many things in the film andthe actual film did not correlateas they should have. In the film there wereinstruments that hadn’t been invented yet and the film was unlike any fromthat time period.
We as humans have always had a facination with visualdisplays. In 1987 Ed Walters produced several polaroid photographs, several ofwhich were published in several national newspapers and magazines. Once againthese photographs were very appealing to the American public but were proved tobe not generic either. Mr. Walters was not only unable to recreate hisphotographs but after he moved from the residence where he claimed to have takenthe photographs at the next tennant to reside in that home found a model of aflying saucer that seems to be the same one that appeared in his photographs.
