Jerry Kroth - The Roswell Foil: How UFO discoveries radically change how we see the world

Reviews

A wonderful and comprehensive survey of much that is mysterious in our world today, which should interest both the casual reader and the devoted specialist. Everyone who is interested in our possible contacts with extra-terrestrials should read this book and then, having learned more of the real evidence for themselves, see what they think.

That a piece of the Roswell UFO foil may have ended up in the hands of Dr. Kroth, if only for a few moments and allowing his close inspection of that material, I deem to be entirely within the realm of possibility... This book, The Roswell Foil, How UFO discoveries radically alter our understanding of the world, traces the history of the UFO Phenomenon back to the very origins of mankind... In doing so, author Jerry Kroth, Ph.D. helps to cultivate and nurture a growing societal awareness that there is much more to the story of mankinds presence on Earth than our insipid, outdated, and wholly incomplete contemporary belief systems are capable of and/or willing to address. Read this book and give the information it conveys your most thoughtful and open-minded consideration.

Jerry Kroth reveals his resourcefulness and commitment to truth in this, his latest book on the UFO subject. His research skills are unexcelled and his knowledge of the subject is far-ranging. He exhibits a balanced perspective on many hot-button issues in the UFO field and is very thorough in his examination of well-known and not-so-well-known cases. Dr. Kroths personal experience with what may well be memory metal from the Roswell crash is of special interest. I heartily recommend this superb book to anyone with interest in the subject of extraterrestrial visitation.

Anthony Bragalia, UFO Researcher

If extraterrestrials have interacted with our species, this would be the most significant event in all of human history. And a book that documents that evidence and makes the case as overwhelmingly as Kroths does, deserves to stand next to Darwin, Plato, and Einstein in terms of its ultimate importance to humankind.

Part I

Roswell, the foil, and UFO reports

My daddy said I should show you this.

Sometimesfate dropsyour future onyour lap, other times it hides it right under your nose.

Katerina Martinez

My name is Jerry Kroth. Im a psychology professor from California, and Ive written 17 books, mostly academic third-person stuff, but I decided this investigative piece will stay upfront, real, and personal as much as possible in addition to having an academic dimension. The reason is that this whole book began with a very important personal encounter:

Far back in 1965, and long before my doctorate, I was teaching the 5th-grade in Wayne, Michigan near Ann Arbor when a girl brought a mysterious material to class.

My daddy said I should show you this, she said, handing me a silvery-gray, slightly elastic 5 by 5-inch sheet of material that looked like aluminum foil.

Turns out it wasnt foil. It was magic.

If you tried to cut this material with scissors, nothing would happen. If you tried to jam a ballpoint pen or a metal tip into it, you simply couldnt puncture it, even though it was as thin as a piece of stationery.

If you rolled it into a ball and then let go, it immediately unfolded and resumed its shape with no dents or creases, regardless of how many times you squeezed and crushed it.

The phenomenon I later learned was called shape-memory, and I believe only one substance then had that quality, Nitinol.

However, shape-memory only happens when Nitinol is heated. So-called superelastic nitinol can allegedly show shape-memory at room temperature, but that variation wasnt invented until the 1970s. A materials science expert in Australia confirmed this timeline for me.

So, what was this weird material?

What was I holding?

The backstory

There is more about this journey, and putting things in chronological order may be helpful.

So 43 years passed since that little girl came up to my teachers desk. I had no prior interest in UFOs. I was 24 years old when I taught in that school near Ann Arbor.

When she showed me the material, I thought her dad probably worked for NASA and this was some new kind of material they were developing.

The elementary school was near the University of Michigan and close to the Willow Run Laboratories where some secret aerospace research was happening, so I just said thats cool and went about my business thinking it must be some kind of material NASA was developing.

The next leg of this journey didnt begin for 43 years.

I lost my best friend in a plane crash in 1987. He was a UFO buff, a fellow psychologist, and he loved archeoastronomy. In his honor, I toyed with the idea of writing a book that would depart from psychology, and tried to gather and present the best evidence I could for the hypothesis of extraterrestrial involvement in human affairs. It was later published by a New York publisher, Algora, under the title Aliens and Man: a synopsis of facts and beliefs.

In the process of researching the book, I investigated pyramids, the Voynich manuscript, crop circles, mythological discussions of gods, and the history of flying machines. I even looked at biological speculations from the Sumerians to the Mayans to the Book of Enoch describing sky gods mating and interbreeding with humans. I traveled to Egypt and crawled inside the Great Pyramid, walked the Nazca lines in Peru, visited the oracle of Delphi to ask a few questions, traveled to Jerusalem, personally inspected the White Pyramid in Xian, China, and thoroughly enjoyed the adventure, travel, and experience.

I admit Ive never seen a UFO or had a direct experience with a cosmic visitor. It was a thrilling academic journey, for sure, but I didnt fully cross that threshold into believing that humankind had extraterrestrial contact even upon completion of that book. The book was reviewed quite fairly and reasonably well to my surprise.

Ive also made a video lecture on this subject. Generally, my videos, have done considerably better than my books; about 3 million folks have watched my various lectures on Youtube.

As of this writing, 99,000 people viewed the video on this earlier edition of the book which you are now reading, save for the fact that this is the updated 2021 edition with quite a lot of new information packed inside its pages.

This story about this strange material goes much further back, though, all the way to San Diego in 2008. I was then researching materials and reading an absolutely preposterous, outrageous screed titled The Day After Roswell.

It was written by 80-year-old Philip Corso, a former Air Force officer who said he was at Roswell. He described alien bodies, the UFO craft, even autopsies performed on the three-foot tall, large-headed beings at Walter-Reed hospital. They had white lymphatic fluid instead of blood, strange internal organs, and no genitals. I kept saying to myself, Why the hell are you reading this; it is total crap, farcical, ludicrous, ufology pulp!

Toss the book!

But, then I stumbled upon a quotation from Corso that stunned me; the hair on my arms stood up; I was dazed. All my long forgotten 1965 memories came flowing back. Here is what Corso said when he came upon the Roswell crash site in 1947:
