Noted UFO investigator, researcher and author, some call Randle the voice of reason within UFOlogy. Randle maintains that a UFO did crash at Roswell and that bodies were discovered, but Randle discounts some of the eyewitneses and accounts of the incident. Randle is an experienced investigator and has a background as not only a former Army helicopter pilot, he is also a Captain in the Air Force specializing in intelligence and he has earned four college degrees. Randle is the author of dozen of UFO articles and over 16 UFO books, as well as novels too numerous to count. While I disagree with Randle about the Roswell incident in many regards, UFOlogy needs more Kevin Randles to cut through the bull.
