Billy Meier

Billy Meier's story is one that I wanted to believe, I mean it just seems logical to me that if an alien species was visiting us that they would try and communicate with at least one person to see what we are like. The overwhelming amount of evidence that Billy collected is also something of a goldmine if it were real, unfortunately I don't believe it is.

The Photos

Notice how the UFO is blurry while the car is in focus, almost as if you were taken a picture of the car and not the UFO... Full image >

The Video

The thing that convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt that the whole case was a hoax was this video. In it is a supposed UFO flying above a tree. If it had been a photo and not a video then I might have considered it authentic since the scale of both the UFO and the tree seem to be spot on, and you get a real sense of size when comparing the two. Once you hit play on the video however you will notice the UFO flying in a pendulous fashion, exactly the type of movement you would expect of a model UFO suspended on a string. Anyone with a shred of common sense and logic will automatically realize this is not a real UFO, and it is almost comical that the person who filmed it expects you to believe it is real.

I have seen dozens of films of supposed UFO's besides the Billy Meier case and the only ones that appear to float in a back and forth pattern as if suspended are the ones taken by Meier. Once again, if Billy had not included this in his collection of UFO evidence then it would make his story much more believable. It is included however, and because this video so closely resembles the vast majority of still photographs available, the only logical conclusion if this video is fake, is that the photographs were also faked.

The Prophecies

One of the interesting things about Billy's contact with the Pleiadians was the fact that they gave him knowledge of events that were to pass, events in the future. According to Billy multiple people have confirmed that these events were going to take place, but for some reason they had to 'secure the information' until the date passed? That doesn't make sense.

Hypothetical Scenario

Lets take a hypothetical to properly illustrate this. You are an old lonely man that has contact with beings from another planet and they are giving you information about the future. They let you take photographs of them that way you can prove to people they are real. You know that Iranian terrorists are going to kidnap a bunch of people and some of them are going to die, you feel like you should tell people that way you can prevent this scenario from happening. But who is going to believe you, you don't have any evidence... oh wait, you just remembered that the Pleiadians let you take videos and photographs of them for a situation just like this, that way you can prove to people that it is real. Even if the public doesn't believe your first or second prophecy, since you have received literally dozens of predictions from the aliens, I'm sure that you will be able to build a track record quickly and therefore people will start to believe you.

I mean the photographic evidence is there specifically so people will believe your story, so now all you have to do is publish in a couple news papers a few events that are going to take place before they happen.

You don't do this.

Instead you "secure the information" until after the event takes place. WHAT. THE. HELL.

That doesn't make any logical sense to me at all, unless the whole thing is a hoax and you are just trying to sell books (which he is).

Conclusion

According to my research Billy Meier is a fake, and a fraud, and I'm sure anyone who researches his claims for more than 10 minutes will agree with me. Billy Meier and people like him are the reason why UFO's are not taken seriously despite the overwhelming amount of evidence to suggest the contrary. If Billy was 40 years younger and had both arms then I would challenge him to a fist fight, but at this point in his life he is just a sad old man with a story with bigger wholes than the titanic.

On the surface Billy Meier's information and claims seem fairly reasonable. They somewhat are in line with science and logic and make sense of the current world we are living in.

I don't really have a problem with his overall message and would definitely say there is some truth to it. However, despite all these believable elements, there are a number of things which I feel insult my intelligence and are completely absurd.

Photos look bad

One of Billy's earlier photos taken in Switzerland. Full image >

The early photos Billy Meier took appear to hold a little bit of credibility and look like they could be somewhat believable. They have a typical areodynamic saucer shape and seem like they are in alignment with science and physics. I still think they look a bit plasticy and close to the camera. The lighting and focus doesn't quite seem natural.

The later photos, on the other hand, really start to question his credibility as they don't even look like something advanced or from a higher level of intelligence. I mean the wedding cake beamship doesn't even look like it came from a higher intelligence. It looks like a 60's vehicle with all the useless "hip" looking features trying to make it look advanced. Advanced things are usually simple and with function. This looks like a gaudy attempt for somebody to try to convince people that this really is something important but in this day and age it just looks plain retarded. I can't even come close to believing this to be real.

In all honesty, I would say an actual wedding cake would be more believable than this photo. Full image >

There is also some evidence of photos where people show the similarities between some of the things laying around his farm and in his UFO photos.

It also seems like everything I read from people claiming his photos are real say that since people can't recreate these photos with their own models that they are real. The fact that people haven't reproduced photos similar or better than his means nothing and is a terrible way to prove something as being real. That's like me claiming Christianity is the truth because nobody has come up with a better religion. You have got to be kidding me if that's the main argument FOR the photos. Just hearing such an argument sounds like a cry of desperation to me.

No negatives found. If these are legitimate photos why aren't there any negatives? Could it be that they were composited together?

Beamship movement looks bad in videos

The movement of the UFOs look like a model attached to a string. Why would a UFO only fly in a pendulum type pattern? Maybe that's the case, but I highly doubt it.

The Metal Samples

The metal samples were tested by Marcel Vogel, a chemist, and he states that the metal was forged with some type of cold fusion method which is beyond our current level of science. According to Kal K. Korff, Vogel's analysis claiming that the metal sample contained thulium turned out to be incorrect. And somehow the metal vanished from the IBM lab not too long after Vogel's work. I shouldn't have to go out of my way to believe this type of a thing. These types of events just make it sound like bologna.

Ex-wife said the UFOs were models

His ex-wife has said the UFOs were models, although I have not seen the actual document where she claimed this.

The fact that he sells his info

The very fact that his stuff is for sale on his website should raise an eyebrow. If your goal really is to present the truth and help others you should be content in doing so without needing them to buy it. I mean, sure you need to get by and live, but living off your work by forcing people to buy it is not the way to gain credibility. If he was all about educating people why wouldn't he have free ebooks like all the other truth oriented sites out there? Is he in it for the knowledge or the money?

Overall

I think the general message of Billy Meier is a good one and hold true to this day and age. I agree that we do need to raise our consciousness and learn to live together as one. My gut feeling would be that his message and conversations may be real and authentic, but I have great doubts about his photography and UFOs. I also think his conversations were probably more telepathic than in person. He seems like a bright guy and like he is definitely enlightened by the right vibrations, but I am skeptical on his actual meetings and photos, I think he is trying too hard to get attention.

Like most things the truth never appears naked and on its own. It is always clothes with lies and deception and I think the Billy Meier case gives credence to this. There are just too many leaps of faith on the Billy Meier case and I'm not willing to take them on the grounds that I am presented.
