The Randle Report Essay, Research Paper

The Randle Report, by Kevin D. Randle explores UFO research in the1990’s. In

reading his book I have gained much knowledge of how to determine whether

information submitted as proof of extraterrestrial existence is valid or bogus, and the

truth (from a scientificstandpoint) about several famous unidentified phenomenoms.

Much information is submitted to substantiate extraterrestrial existence. This

information comes in many forms but the most common are: video, photography, and

sworn testimony. Once this information is introduced UFO researchers have to test the

authenticity of the information. In 1995 aman named Ray Santilli claimed to have

authentic footage of the allegedRoswell alien autopsy. Although it was very interesting,

it was most definitly a hoax. This conclusion came after the data from many tests

(performed by unbiased scientists and experts in their respected fields) showed that many

things in the film and the actual film did not correlateas they should have. In the film

there were instruments that hadn?t been invented yet and the film was unlike any from

that time period. We as humans have always had a facination with visual displays. In

1987 Ed Walters produced several polaroid photographs, several of which were

published in several national newspapers and magazines. Once again these photographs

were very appealing to the American public but were proved to be not generic either.

Mr. Walters was not only unable to recreate his photographs but after he moved from the

residence where he claimed to have taken the photographs at the next tennant to reside in

that home found a model of a flying saucer that seems to be the same one that appeared

in his photographs.
