Background

Kal K. Korff is a former senior systems analyst on Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Strategic Defense Initiative ('Star Wars') program and an early developer of Apple's HyperCard multimedia software, who later became a skeptical investigator of UFO and paranormal claims as president and CEO of Total Research. With William L. Moore, he co-authored 'The Meier Incident' (1981), which argued that Eduard 'Billy' Meier's UFO photographs were a hoax, a conclusion he reached partly by going undercover inside Meier's Swiss commune, the Semjase Silver Star Center. He later turned his skeptical approach to the Roswell case, publishing 'The Roswell UFO Crash' in 1997 and an expanded edition in 2000 after 16 years reviewing military records, declassified documents, and witness accounts, arguing the case rests on weak and inconsistent sourcing. He has appeared on CNN's Larry King Live and Fox's Encounters.
