Debunker Kal Korff Goes A Little LaLa


Kal Korff, a figure in ufology noted for his debunking efforts on Bigfoot, UFOs, Roswell and the JFK assassination apparently has gone a little lala. In the past Kal has made tv appearences on shows such as Larry King and other documentaries. Both skeptics and UFO believers alike surely have come across this man's 'work' once in a while. Korff mostly received praise from skeptics since his work often if not always was focused on debunking a (paranormal) phenomenon. The last 3 years however Korff managed to alienate even the skeptics with his outlandish claims, begging the question if Korff has lost his marbles.

Three years ago Korff claimed he was an officer in the Israeli Special Secret Services and even had a picture taken as proof! (See top.) Naturally some people didn't accept the picture as proof positive and neither did Korff in the past with his debunking efforts on other material. On a sidenote, that is what you can expect with debunkers - double standards. Inquiries on the internet concerning the Special Secret Services came up completely empty outside of Korff's own websites.
Since no official evidence could be found some people questioned the authenticity of Korff's claims and were subsequently reprimanded and later on even attacked by nutty Kal. Korff gave off the appearance that his S3 was an official (military) organization yet it took months if not years for Korff to (vaguely) admit that it was a 'private' organization' and non-existent in the "linear sense". His credibility had already suffered by then.

Sadly that wasn't all. Kal Korff made a number of claims which made him sound more like a hoaxer or a fraud. Here are a few;
* Has a $25,000,000 budget to work with to pursue UFO frauds.
* Has a 500 book deal!
* Is a Captain (now Colonel) in the Special Secret Services and works in anti-terrorism as a SAPSTOE (Special Activities Planning Strategies Tactics Operations Execution).
* Was a consultant to the OJ Simpson criminal prosecution team and an expert witness for the defense in the OJ Simpson civil trial.

In the end Kal managed to do something extraordinary. A debunker debunking himself. Now that's a little LaLa.
