COMMENT 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.
Contact notes
The abundance of prophetically accurate information, independent corroboration of accuracy and absence of erroneous information pertaining to the future of mankind and Planet Earth have made the case one of the most exciting but suppressed stories in modern history.
The contact notes contain not only the Plejarens’ spiritual teachings and information about the history of human civilizations, but also, according to believers, but the key to mankind’s survival on Planet Earth.
Initially, Meier’s revelation of his contacts with the aliens raised many pertinent questions. Why are the Plejarens so eager to help earthlings? What made them choose Meier as their contact?
According to Contact Note 340, Meier’s “spirit-form” has links with the ancestors of the Plejarens. Being advanced spiritually, those ancestors had a close relationship with earthlings until more than 60,000 years ago.
According to Meier, the Plejarens and earthlings have a common ancestry and they look like us. Their forefathers—and ours—originated from the Lyra-Vega Star Systems, and these distant cousins of ours have been visiting Earth sporadically for the past 28 million years.
Those ancestors have influenced the Earth’s development positively and negatively throughout the ages.
Sometimes, the negative influences brought disastrous consequences. The Plejarens now feel responsible for the actions of the ancestors and their intention is to give advice without directly interfering in human affairs. They want to help us rediscover our true spiritual path.
According to Meier’s notes, the home world of his Plejaren visitors is called Erra, a planet almost as large as Earth but in a physical dimension that is shifted a fraction of a second ahead of our space-time configuration. It is about 500 light years away.
Meier says he was 10 when he had his first contact with the Plejarens. But the “official” contacts—meaning the evidence that can be made public—began in 1975, when he was a young man travelling through Europe, Africa, the Middle East and India.
His wandering gave him the opportunity to study major religions and to meet political leaders, including Indira Gandhi, King Farouk, Nasser, Nehru and Tito.
His transcription of conversations with the Plejarens, mostly done in German, runs into more than 24,000 pages. Among the information given in those pages are accounts from the history of existence in the universe, dating back tens of millions of years.
Not as intelligent enough
Perhaps the most astonishing parts of the transcriptions are predictions about world events and developments that believers say Meier published in 1958. These foretold, among other things, the US invasion of Iraq, global warming, invention of cell phones, the Internet, the rise of terrorism and the AIDs epidemic.
Some say that Meier’s case increased the alertness of not only UFO enthusiasts but also mainstream scientists and world governments with regard to UFO sightings; it has finally dawned on them that humans are not the only intelligent beings in the millions of galaxies in this vast universe.
On the flip side, however, the phenomenon has encouraged charlatans to claim that they have been contacted by extraterrestrial beings and to concoct alien abductions and animal mutilations.
Horn, in his commentary on “Contact Note 441”, said, “Meier’s message on alleged abductions by aliens contains extremely important information for all those who are wrapped up in pointlessly chasing their tails about the ‘government’s cover-up’, alien abductions, evil aliens, animal mutilation etc.
“The actual nature of this complex situation is rooted in power hungry, purely terrestrial groups who can profit greatly from the hysteria, confusion, fear that they foment behind the scenes, and which is, also, knowingly or not, perpetuated by overzealous, under informed UFO groups and by painfully gullible New Agers who lack discernment, critical thinking and reasoning abilities.
“The truth or real UFO cover up is on the Billy Meier case. Some of the biggest opponents to this truth are the various ‘experts’ within the so-called UFO community.”
Meier’s published notes include the claim that there exists a well thought out psychological network to generate fear, angst, terror, hatred and feelings of revenge against extraterrestrial aliens. He speaks of a vast international conspiracy to conceal the truth about these aliens with the help of terrestrial military anti-gravity vehicles.
“Wrong information and falsified pictures of alleged ET flying devices are strategically circulated worldwide, whereby 98 per cent of all false pictures, films and videos are directed at moving the Earth humans to engender hate and thoughts of revenge against all life foreign to Earth,” said Meier, quoting a Plejaren by the name of Ptaah.
