Those who know of Billy Eduard Albert Meier’s claims of being in contact with extraterrestrial beings will either condemn him as one of history’s biggest frauds or hail him as a prophet, accepting as true the volumes of information available in YouTube clips and the numerous blogs maintained by his believers.
“There is really nothing in between” the truth and the hoax, says believer Michael Horn, who maintains a blog at www.theyfly.com.
Horn claims to be Meier’s authorised American media representative.
In 1978, an American team of investigators led by Colonel Wendelle Stevens took more than 10 months analysing witness accounts, photographs, video clips, sound recordings, landing tracks that Meier said were made by flying saucers and even samples of the metallic substance the crafts were allegedly made of. The photos included images of the UFOs in flight.
It was a tedious task involving many experts. They examined alleged records of hundreds of hours of conversation that Meier said he had with the Pleiadians, humanoids from a star system called Pleiades. The Pleiadians are sometimes called Plejarens.
Stevens’s team took the evidence to the United States for professional scrutiny by independent experts representing various disciplines. Meier and his delegate of witnesses were even subjected to lie-detector tests.
UFO enthusiasts claim that the US government has a vast amount of information on the Meier case. Some have said that the government at one time bought a piece of property adjacent to his farmhouse in Switzerland to enable 24-hour monitoring of the Plejarens visiting him.
Meier’s detractors can sometimes go to extremes. There were 21 attempted assassinations against his life between Sept 23, 1964 and June 2, 2003.
Meier maintains what he calls “contact notes” of his conversations with the aliens. These began in 1942 and continue to this day, with some long lapses in between.
Despite all the evidence of a possible hoax that has surfaced, I'm still reluctant to dismiss the Billy Meier case in its entirety. To read the rest of the article, click here.
