Subject: Disproving Ed Komarek

Dear Mr. Komarek,

I have put in another 17 hour day, and over this weekend have answered 108
letters. While I am still not caught up, a sizable "dent" has been made in my
workload finally. My last two letters to end this work session are to you and
Mr. Rudiak, the latter in another posting.

Mr. Komarek, I have told you I am NOT a UFO debunker, and have had a UFO
sighting myself. You refuse to accept this reality and still cling to your
"conspiracy" fantasies. So be it.

There is no "CSICOP" conspiracy, which you claim, to "discredit" Roswell.
Colonel Corso, Hesemann and Mantle are doing a fine enough job at this all by
themselves. While I do not speak for CSICOP (nor would I) I am simply unaware
of any.

Finally, I have some more troubling news for you, Ed: I APPROACHED Prometheus
Books to publish my Roswell title. They did not approach me, nor did they
commission me. I approached them, for many reasons, one of which was to see
the UFO "believer" crowd cry "foul" and use CSICOP as convenient a scapegoat
to avoid the real issues. It was my intention to bring this absurd argument
to a head, and thanks to people like you, it worked beautifully. I did the
same thing with my Meier expose. I solicited Prometheus, it was not the other
way around.

I am NOT a member of CSICOP, Mr. Komarek, and my relationship with them is
that Prometheus Books is simply my publisher. That is all. There's nothing
else to it. CSICOP does not control my beliefs, nor influence them, nor do I
control or influence theirs. However, like many in the mainstream media they
have found my work to be basically credible and do not have a problem with
the fact that I had a UFO sighting. This should tell you (and others) about
CSICOP, because it flies in the face of what they get unjustly criticzed for.


Of course, I can supply you with LOTS of documentation for this fact, that I
pitched the book to them and that it was MY idea, but you would probably
decline to face it, just like you previously did when I have offered it to
you before regarding my beliefs which you continue to deliberately
misrepresent.

The reason I am getting so much attention from the media (and it is only just
beginning) is because I have always gotten lots of attention from them ever
since I was 15, whenever I made myself available to them. I am using this
attention to launch new initiatives...primarily to discuss Roswell and begin
to lead a very expensive and extensive effort to obtain currently classified
UFO-related documents. There are also other programs I will be announcing
shortly at the proper time. I agree with you that the "cover-up," (whatever
it consists of) must end.

I am indeed sorry that there is no "conspiracy" going on here, it would be
far more interesting if there were. However, because I can get featured on
virtually every major show anytime I want, I fully expect to exploit this
opportunity for the good of UFOlogy and to take its research to an entirely
new level not seen before.

In July, for example, a major network will air for broadcast a one hour
special on UFOs which features my Meier and Roswell research, as well as some
real stumpers. Perhaps this will convince you.

I do not intend to engage you on such non-issues anymore, although it seems
you would enjoy it, but I just wanted you to know that you are wrong once
again -- I am not a member of CSICOP, and Prometheus Books, which publishes
mostly NON UFO and paranormal-related titles, (a fact you ignore!) is simply
my publisher. That is all. Deal with it.

Finally, Mr. Komarek, you needn't fret so much about Roswell as you do. The
very valid case for the declassification or UFO-related documents from the
various agencies of the United States Government (which I fully support) is
INDEPENDENT of Roswell and should NOT rise or fall on the ultimate fate of
Roswell -- whatever that turns out to be. It is dangerous to put all one's
eggs in a single basket and the UFO "cause" (to be frank) deserves better. If
Roswell never existed, the case for declassifying UFO-related material would
still be an entirely valid one. Again, I support this. Quit seeing
conspiracies under every rock and in every nook and cranny. You may miss the
REAL action!


Respectfully yours,
Kal K. Korff
