I now have more on this apology Kalvin Korff had to issue to radio host Art Bell after Kalvin was
CAUGHT LYING.
The story is that Kalvin was on a flying saucer radio show and made a statement of fact that radio host Art Bell had threatened to pull his program from three radio affiliates because Kalvin Korff was to appear on a radio program to discredit someone Art Bell knew.
Kalvin Korff said on this other radio program that he had spoken directly to managers at these radio stations who, according to Kalvin, told Kalvin Art Bell had indeed called and threatened to pull his show if Kalvin was to appear on any of their radio programming.
Of course this all turned out to be Kalvin Korff
LYING and
SLANDERING radio host Art Bell. I was sent the audio of Kalvin Korff when he was on Art Bell's radio show to publicly
APOLOGIZE for
LYING and
SLANDERING Art Bell. This never happened and kalvin admits to
LYING and
SLANDERING. This is what was said.
Art Bell: "For those you not familiar with what is to follow, you may check my website and you will find audio files of the words said by Mr. kal Korff on the Sightings program, a syndiacted radio program that can be hear. I pretty well covered it last night, and as you know I was very, very angry. I believe we have with us tonight Mr. Kal Korff. Uh, Kal, are you there?"
{Kalvin was scheduled to apologize the night before but did not answer his phone when Art Bell called. Art Bell was rather upset about this and likely felt Kalvin was playing games with him.}
CONNIVING Kalvin: "Yes, sir."
Art Bell: "Okay, um, Kal, I was really really angry at you last night and my anger has somewhat abated at this moment. But, um, I believe you've got something you want to say."
CONNIVING Kalvin: "Yes, um, everything I said about Mr. Art Bell was completely untrue and false. I retract everything entirely and further apologize to not only Mr. Bell, but to the CBC radio network and the affiliates mentioned, KFY in Phoenix, KOMO and KVI in Seattle."
Art Bell: "So, your words about me and what I allegedly said were totally false."
CONNIVING Kalvin: "Yes, there's no evidence at all of, none of it held up and, um, you deserve an apology Mr. Bell."
Art Bell: "Alright, thank you., I want to say something to you and it is the following: Words , Mr. Korff, really do have consequences in UFOlogy, something we're both interested in. We've got room for all sorts of people, believers, skeptics, even de-bunkers like yourself. However, if the goal of our debate is the truth, then the reckless disregard for it harms all of us. So please, I would only ask this: the next time you decide to debate with statements of something you call facts, make damn surethat you know them to be facts and not slanderous lies. This method generally, effectively prevents embarassing retractons of the sort you just had to make.
Kalvin Korff:"
After being
PUBLICLY HUMILIATED, Kalvin put these apologies up on the Internet. Kalvin of course tries to slither out of bu blaming "sources" and going so far as to imply that someone might be impersonating this Art Bell fellow. But it is clear that Kalvin stated he talked
DIRECTLY to managers of these radio stations. So how does self righteous Kalvin expose himself to the public as a conniving slanderer? I thought about giving kudos to Kalvin for apologizing but realize he only did it to avoid being sued in court. You would think Kalvin would have learned from this PAINFUL PUBLIC lesson and the HUMILIATION he must have endured at having to kneel and beg for mercy before the host of a flying saucer radio show.
Welcome to Kal Korff's Web Site

My Formal Apology to Mr. Art Bell
August 6, 1997
Dear Mr. Art Bell,
I offer to you, my personal and sincere APOLOGY to you regarding statements I made that you had threatened three radio stations and to pull their affiliations if they put me on their programs. There was NO MALICIOUS INTENT on my part to either libel or slander you, Mr. Bell.
The truth is, Mr. Bell, I BELIEVE YOU when you say you did NOT do this, and in the interest of getting to the truth I am making a point as I mentioned to you of getting all of the documentation to you that proves this was an innocent mistake.
I know, Mr. Bell, that you are respected in your radio broadcast profession. I also respect you as well, and know (based on having listened to you and thoroughly enjoyed, your audio book "The Art of Talk") that you have worked very hard to achieve the phenomenal success that you presently enjoy. I have also heard similar testimonies about you from your professional peers, on whose other radio programs I have appeared over the past years.
I would like to re-emphasize to you, your listeners, and the general public, that there was no malicious intent on my part to either malign, libel, or slander you – I simply reported information I had been told from various sources which proved to be incorrect upon close, careful investigation.
As I have also previously communicated to both your attorney and yourself in our joint phone conversation, my allegations made towards you, which were in error, were the result of a hodgepodge of confusion, INNOCENT confusion, on the part of my sources. To put it simply, my sources, which have proved TOTALLY RELIABLE IN THE PAST AND ON ALL OCCASIONS, accidentally confused (in part) the actions of Jim Dilettoso with you, Mr. Bell.
As the enclosed documentation clearly proves, it was Jim Dilettoso who sent a legal notice through his attorney implying legal action(s) if a certain radio station permitted me. Kal Korff, to come on their shows to talk about my research.
I enclose for your perusal not only a copy of Mr. Dilettoso’s letter to one of these stations written by his attorney, as well as this station’s reply to Mr. Dilettoso.
I sincerely regret any problems this may have caused you, Mr. Bell, and as the last of the documentation continues to come into my office, I will forward all copies of it to you so that you may be assured that this unfortunate mistake was indeed an series of accidental ones, and was and is not deliberately malicious.
I have posted as of several days ago, a public apology on the radio show "Sightings" and will make every effort to make sure that THIS public apology receive as wide a distribution as possible, including the posting of it on my own personal website starting tomorrow for the period of one full calendar year. This apology will be posted on www.KalKorff.com, early tomorrow morning, which is my own personal website.
Sincerely and respectfully yours,
Kal K. Korff
Investigative journalist, author and researcher
"SIGHTINGS" is hosted by Mr. Jeff Rense. Below, is a word for word copy of my formal apology to Mr. Art Bell which was posted on the "SIGHTINGS" website as of August 4, 1997.

Looking forward to providing you with the documentation you have asked for and JUSTIFIABLY DESERVE.
Sincerely, Kal Korff
Flying saucer author Kevin Randle has made a blog comment about Kal K. Korff tucking his tail and running from his scheduled debate with Kevin Randle. Kal did announce there would be another debate this coming December but both Kevin Randle and Rob McConnel say the debate WILL NOT happen. And who can blame Kevin Randle for not wanting to waste his time with a LOUD MOUTH like Conniving Kal. The video with Kal giving his lame ass excuse for not appearing is full of Conniving Kal puckering up and thoroughly KISSING the asses of Kevin Randle and Rob McConnel.
