Kal Korff Receives Metal Fragments for Analysis from Alleged
Russian 'UFO' Crash in TNT Special


September 27, 1998

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- TotalResearch announced today, that
their President and CEO, critically-acclaimed investigative
journalist and author, Kal K. Korff, has received for analysis
five purported fragments from an alleged UFO 'crash' near
Berezovsky, Russia, in 1969.

"After careful research and investigation, I am pleased to
announce that I have received for analysis, five fragments from
an alleged UFO crash that we are told took place in 1969 in
Russia. This case first came to international prominence
recently when the TNT network aired just a few weeks ago, a
90-minute, made for television, primetime special claiming that
this event took place, the source of which purportedly comes
from previously-classified Soviet KGB intelligence files on the
subject of UFOs." Korff said in a short statement while visiting
one of his offices in San Jose, California.

"Before I send these fragments in for analysis, I intend to
follow up first on the background and provenance of these
samples, and then it is my intention to have them analyzed both
at a private university laboratory and at a U.S. government
laboratory. I believe in using both civilian and government
facilities as controls, and that this is the proper and
responsible way to handle having these samples analyzed."

While Kal Korff has already investigated and exposed several of
the claims in the TNT KGB-UFO television special as being
"inaccurate,  and outright erroneous," he remains intrigued by
the samples.

"The metal samples are of interest to me, because they are
tangibles that can be tested, measured, quantified and analyzed.
We should be  able to tell exactly what these pieces of metal
represent, and most importantly, whether or not they were
manufactured on this Earth by  human technology. I look forward
to learning the results of the analyses, whatever they reveal."

When Korff was asked whether he thought the fragments were from
a 'real' UFO, he declined to speculate, saying, "How would I
know? Right now, I have no opinion one way or another. I remain,
for now, neutral in this matter and will make sure these samples
get  analyzed properly. That's the best I can do, and this is
the responsible thing to do."

"As soon as the lab results are in, I shall immediately make
them public, and then it is my intention to contact the
producers of the KGB-UFO TNT special and have a conversation
with them about this whole affair."

"That conversation should prove interesting." Korff said with a
smile.

Kal Korff will be discussing his receipt of the fragments over
the next few weeks via postings on Glen Campbell's UFOMind web
site, and on his regular, syndicated bi-weekly radio show,
"Counterpoint," which broadcasts out of radio station CKTB in
Ontario, Canada.
