A Letter to Humanity

Hello,

If you haven’t already heard of him, Eduard Albert “Billy” Meier is an 86 year old man from Switzerland who became known in the late 70’s for taking what are up to date the most clear and numerous photos and video of alleged non-terrestrial spacecraft. The logical question of course is, “Then why isn’t this more popular?” Simply put, the evidence seems too good to be true - so much so that the ramifications of its authenticity are perhaps too much for the general public to emotionally confront. The distant, blurry, one-time-shot image of a UFO seems to be more appealing to most people because they can attach whatever qualities to the craft and its inhabitants that are more fanciful to them, or create whatever circumstances around the sighting that are more comforting or ‘reasonable’, i.e. that it’s a rare and accidental event. However, with the Billy Meier case the photos and the story behind them indicate planned events involving contacts with the inhabitants of the craft, which are said to look no different from normal humans due partially to a distantly shared genetic ancestry. According to Meier’s account they allowed only him to the photo sites, though a number of friends, family members and neighbors reported occasionally witnessing the crafts at a distance. Meier said he would receive a mental signal from the pilot of the craft, after which point he would either travel by foot or moped to various, secluded contact sites as directed. Despite having only one arm (having lost the other in an accident) and bringing nothing but his camera equipment, a walkie talkie (for when he needed to be picked up afterward) and perhaps some food, skeptics claimed that once he arrived at the sites he would suddenly produce models of spacecrafts which, while taking photos with one hand, he would either throw in the air or maneuver with strings - using an appendage he doesn’t have.

The opportunity to take close-up photos of the crafts ended in the eighties with the increase in local military surveillance (as well as because later advancements like CGI and Photoshop would render subsequent photo evidence more or less useless), but the contacts have allegedly continued up to the current day, and the conversations between Billy and these people, referred to as the Plejaren, have been documented, published and translated for over four decades, though he claims to have had preliminary contacts as a youth which were not documented until much later. Much of the information found in the contact notes involves matters of physics that we terrestrially have yet to prove or accept at a large scale, which poses a major problem for those delving into the case. Another unfortunate obstacle is the online presence of photos purported to depict extraterrestrial persons and prehistoric animals that Billy himself never claimed to take, but were released by other parties for the purposes of disinformation. Despite these stigmas related to the case, the more professional researchers have decided to focus on those aspects of the case which can actually be tested. This was first done in 1978 by a team led by Lee Elders, who at the time ran Intercept, a security company working with Fortune 500 companies in counter-industrial espionage. The team was organized by retired Air Force Colonel Wendelle Stevens, who up to that point was one of the world’s leading UFO investigators for decades. After visiting with Billy and other eyewitnesses on the property in Switzerland for several years, the main forms of evidence that were eventually sent out for analysis included photos and film of the craft, sound recordings of the craft, and metal samples given to Meier that demonstrated the metal-making process for the craft. The results of the tests were later catalogued in the book “UFO Contact From the Pleiades: A Preliminary Investigation” by Col. Wendelle Stevens, as well as in Gary Kinder’s book “Light Years.”

After the photos were digitized, physicist aerospace industry subcontractor Neil Davies stated after examining one of the more impressive photos with a microdensitometer that “nothing was found in the examination of this print which would cause me to believe that the object in the photo is anything other than a large object photographed a distance from the camera.” Computer analyst at the time, Jim Dilettoso, determined through pixel distortion tests that based on the grain of the film, the ‘object’ in the frame was photographed in the same original piece of film at the same time the background was photographed, meaning there was no overlay of other images. Also, using pixelation to determine the contour variation (due to depth of focus) of other objects in the frame such as trees with known heights and distances, the contours of the craft indicated that it had a size of about 7 meters. Dr. Michael Malin, principal investigator for the Mars Orbiter Camera in NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft at Space Science Systems, analyzed Meier’s photographs in 1981 and stated, “I find the photographs themselves credible, they’re good photographs. They appear to represent a real phenomena.” Aerospace engineer and NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper, who was a pilot on the Mercury-Atlas 9 and Gemini 5 missions, stated that he knew members of the Meier investigation team very well, and after personally being shown photos of the craft once they returned from Switzerland, judged them as being “absolutely authentic.”

Wally Gentleman, director of special effects for Stanley Kubrick’s film “2001: A Space Odyssey”, concluded after viewing Meier’s 8mm film segments of the UFOs that considering the expertise necessary, the logistics, and the expense, a one-armed man with no assistance could not have possibly produced the footage. After noting aspects of the film such as the shadow of one of the ships cast on a tree, some of the ships appearing to be behind the twigs of a tree, and the hue and tone of the ships being consistent relative to the tone of the background, indicating distance (as opposed to objects close to the camera that would show a different hue), as well as commenting on how difficult it would be to hang such objects from balloons outside while maintaining consistent suspension, Gentleman stated that, “It’s all that sort of complication that leads me to think that the objects he’s photographed and filmed were there independently and he simply snapped the shutter.”

As for the sounds of the craft, a portion of the audio recordings was given to Sonar Technician Submarines Senior Chief for the US Navy Robin L. Shellman, and using a state-of-the-art spectrum analyzer to compare it to ‘all known sounds’ catalogued at the Naval Undersea Sound Center in Groton, Connecticut, was able to identify background sounds such as a ‘Pilatus Porter’ (a single-motor Swiss Army reconnaissance plane) and a Junker JU-52 tri-motor transport plane, each exhibiting the Doppler effect within the recording, as well as a European police siren - but could not identify the consistent target sound, being that of the spacecraft. What could be concluded however was that it had to be a high-speed device rotating at different points between 250 and 59,000 RPM ranging between 4.16 and 990 Hz. The sounds were also taken to Peter Gimer and Rick Coupland of Micor in San Francisco where they identified 32 characteristic frequencies (24 in the audible range and 8 outside of it), that were produced simultaneously, and that had no signs of tone-on-tone tape dubbing. When measured on an oscilloscope, there would appear to be a constant and random shift in frequency, where the principal waves of all frequencies would synchronize perfectly at one moment, only to then travel again in different stages and directions, exceeding the abilities of state-of-the-art synthesizers at the time.

The metal samples given to Meier were examined under electron spectrometer by Marcel Vogel, a research chemist at IBM for 22 years who held 32 patents and invented the magnetic disk coating used in IBM disk memories. He stated concerning one of the metal samples containing a number of elements, “Each pure element was bonded to each of the others, yet somehow retained its own identity.” When thulium was revealed at 500X magnification, he stated, “Thulium exists only in minute amounts. It is exceedingly expensive, far beyond platinum, and rare to come by. Someone would have to have an extensive metallurgical knowledge even to be aware of a composition of this type.” At 1600X magnification Vogel said, “A whole new world appears in this specimen. There are structures within structures - very unusual,” and at 2500X Vogel found that the sample was, “metal, but at the same time… it is crystal!” He concluded by saying “With any technology that I know of, we could not achieve this on this planet!… And I think it is important that those of us who are in the scientific world sit down and do some serious study on these things instead of putting it off as people’s imagination.” Layers of metal interspersed with layers of crystal indicate cold fusion, which was the process used for making the ships as claimed by the Plejaren. Vogel had prepared to share his results with NASA Senior Research Scientist Richard F. Haines, before the samples unfortunately went missing from his possession.

Dr. David Froning, who by the time he became interested in Billy Meier had already spent 25 years as an astronautical engineer at McDonnell Douglas in highly classified military defense, took special note of the Plejaren mention of tachyon propulsion in interstellar travel. After plugging in his ‘Quantum Ramjet’ performance equations, assuming: a given starship density, vacuum energy conversion efficiency (transforming positrons and electrons into photons), and vacuum energy conversion scales of distance of the order of the Compton wavelength, the flight time computations were within 20% of the flight time mentioned by Meier, which included acceleration to near light speed, a quick ‘hyper-jump’, then deceleration from light speed. Froning publicly stated, “My colleagues and I may have made breakthroughs in our understanding of possibilities and ways for traveling faster than light from Billy Meier’s accounts of his encounters with the Plejarens.”

Joe Tysk, who served with USAF Office of Special Investigations during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s and supervised personnel investigations for the Department of Defense, concluded from his own research of the case that “the only logical conclusion one could come to is that Billy Meier has taken numerous authentic photos of UFOs and, more importantly, actual film of UFOs.” Colonel Wendelle Stevens who organized the original investigation would himself later confirm that he had no doubt as to authenticity of the case based on his own experiences.

A major problem people have with the case is the obvious question, “Why Billy?” or “Why don’t they land on the White House lawn?” According to the case, Billy was told that as a general rule the Plejaren and other advanced races won’t blatantly announce themselves to an entire civilization until it has either become at least interstellar or somehow already collectively aware of the reality that they are not the only rational-thinking beings in the universe (and a race as advanced as theirs would have no issues using technological means to avoid detection by us until such a time). Just by their presence, the Plejaren would run the risk of being either feared or idolized by a planet’s human population, which is not their intention. However, such an advanced people are still willing to introduce evidence and certain forms of knowledge to individuals they detect as having the moral, emotional and intellectual maturity, as well as the fortitude and life experience to carry out a purpose such as spreading such important yet highly contentious information to the public. This allegedly has been done before on this planet as well as on others, and just as there is always someone who can be said is ‘best’ at a certain feat or proclivity, Meier is apparently considered best at controlling his state of mind to be compatible with the Plejaren during direct communication, whereas with most other people certain health complications would allegedly arise for both parties. There are however supposedly many other ‘indirect’ contactees whom the Plejaren only influence through mental impulses, which the contactees (usually people in different fields of science) have no conscious knowledge of taking place. In this way the knowledge permeates society more gradually and safely. The reason why there are no pictures of the Plejaren themselves is very simple: they look like normal people in fitted jumpsuits - anyone could fake this, as would’ve been claimed had Billy distributed such photos. Also, if he had filmed a continuous shot of one of the ships hovering in the sky then landing to reveal a person exiting the craft, Billy’s personal security would’ve probably been greatly compromised soon after that video were released to the public, potentially rendering the Plejaren mission useless.

A civilization this advanced would be wise enough to know that our governments are probably not trustworthy in spreading this information without much of it being altered or withheld for various purposes. It’s also for this reason that the crafts themselves wouldn’t seem to be the product of any world government, as there would be just as little reason to organize the time, money and personnel for the production of secret military technology exclusively to manipulate a small group of eyewitnesses in Switzerland, as there would be to give them information that not only reveals the flaws of all governments, but also encourages citizens to think for themselves in order to become more emotionally and intellectually independent. If ‘UFO sightings’ were to be staged by any government or secret, highly affluent interest group, it would be for the purposes of creating an emotional effect that would only benefit that particular government or group - not to spread knowledge simply out of good will, let alone in such a highly peculiar way. For a highly advanced race, however, which would have all resources at its disposal, and the legitimate cause to prevent the misery and degradation on Earth from potentially spreading to other planets in the future, a series of contacts with trusted individuals might be well worth it.

Even for governments that by now may have taken the case seriously, it’s currently much more in their favor to distract and placate ‘alien’ enthusiasts with the occasional morsel of disclosed material as ‘evidence’. Rather than governments, it’s up to perceptive individuals within a society to find the information in the case, consider its validity and importance, then share it accordingly. There is no requirement of belief, but only the encouragement of the application of the information as seen fit, which is naturally different from individual to individual according to personal experience, aptitudes, goals, etc. The case includes thousands of pages of information in the form of conversation transcripts and books regarding historical events, other existing or once-existing extraterrestrial civilizations, biochemistry and medicine, the structure and formation of the universe, and the nature and function of consciousness in humans and other forms of life. Some of the information most important to us in an immediate sense, however, concerns natural phenomena or events that were predicted by the Plejaren to be corroborated by terrestrial science in the near future, which were verifiably published long before the events or discoveries took place - first in German, then in several volumes of “Message From the Pleiades: The Contact Notes of Eduard Billy Meier” by Col. Wendelle Stevens, and subsequently on the internet. Some of the many predictions Meier was told and their dates of publication include:

1951 - told of the coming of climate disasters due to overpopulation, a connection we barely want to admit even now

2001 - told an eruption of Krakatoa in the 6th century veiled the Earth in dust particles for 18 months and effected the world climate, only corroborated by science in 2008

1975 - told that atom bomb testing was tied to ozone depletion, which scientists corroborated in 1988

1988 - told that there is a wandering black hole in the milky way about 6000 light years from Earth, which scientists first reported 14 years later

1979 - told that a comet would approach Jupiter in 1994 and explode into several pieces before crashing into it, which was observed 15 years later

1987 - told that the first officially known attempt to bring plant and animal genes together would be from Japan transferring spinach genes into pigs, which happened 15 years later

1989 - told about the existence of dark matter and its connection to a certain form of anti-gravity, which was confirmed 17 years later

1988 - told of the necessity of certain aerosols in rain formation, confirmed by scientists 18 years later

1976 - told the outer stratum of Mercury was constantly contracting due its metal core, which NASA determined 32 years later

1976 - told that less than 12,000 years ago a planetoid several kilometers in diameter exploded into thousands of meteorites over Earth while entering its atmosphere, where 2 large chunks crashed into the Atlantic Ocean and penetrated the Earth’s crust, rendering what was formerly a small continent into the current Azores archipelago (scientists officially discovered the 3 km-wide ‘fried egg’ structure and its companion crater 93 miles south of the Azores 33 years later)

And now the most important point…

What the predictions that have come to pass illustrate, is perhaps the necessity to pay heed to predictions involving catastrophic events that have yet to occur but that we may possibly be able to prevent (which they then technically designate as a prophecy, as opposed to a true prediction involving natural events that cannot be avoided). One such example is that which concerns asteroid Apophis. Published as early as 1981, Meier was told by the Plejaren that a meteor they designated as the ‘red meteor’ will crack the Earth from the North Sea to the Black Sea, from which will spew red hot lava masses and a wall of sulfurous gas that will drift westward over the continent to create an additional ‘death-zone’. When Meier asked about the red meteor again in 2008, it was revealed that the former designation actually referred to the asteroid currently named Apophis, which the Plejaren said was 350 meters long and will endanger the Earth on April 13 2029 or 2036, adding that terrestrial scientists are “urged to undertake every conceivable possibility to push the meteor permanently out of its orbit… Whereby particularly close to the meteor, atomic explosions should be considered.” Official science has since eliminated the possibility of an impact from Apophis, stating it will only come so close as to ‘dip under’ our satellites. However, it is highly interesting to note that 40 years after the ‘red meteor’ information was first published, the 2020-21 Planetary Defense Campaign conducted a threat response exercise using Apophis as a test case, which, using only 2020-21 data, determined that the impact risk corridor for April 13 2029 would pass diagonally through Central Europe, precisely over the area mentioned in the contact reports - again, 40 years earlier (23 years before the official discovery of Apophis).

There are also well-known factors that would put any trajectory calculation at risk of being unreliable, such as the spin of the asteroid, its mass, solar-radiation-induced perturbations, and the gravitational influences of the Sun, planets and other asteroids, the effects of which remain small until amplified by passage through Earth’s gravity field. Though this letter was originally intended for people working in various fields of science and aerospace engineering so that Apophis might be treated as a potentially significant threat (rather than as a convenient viewing opportunity), the time to be proactive has unfortunately come and gone. This letter is essentially now intended for any of those reading it to broaden their general perspective in a way they otherwise may not have - and if they do happen to have family or anyone they know living in Central or Western Europe, to perhaps encourage said friends and family members, even if out of the slightest caution, to maybe take a small vacation elsewhere on the week of April 13 2029.

Unfortunately since the 70’s, the Meier contacts have been largely subsumed into New Age, esoteric culture as a novelty interest at best, despite Meier himself having been the target of numerous documented assassination attempts since then in an apparent effort to suppress the information in the case (an effort that may also be evidenced by its suppression on the internet). However, since then Meier was also able to establish FIGU - an acronym for what translates as ‘Free Community of Interests Universal’ based in Schmidruti Switzerland at the SSSC (Semjase Silver Star Center), with branches in Germany, Sweden, Russia, the Czech Republic, Italy, Japan, Canada and Australia in which members help translate, edit and publish the material from the case, knowing that it would take many generations before people become receptive to the information at a more effective scale. Though a number of different books are sold through FIGU which comprise the core information in accessible form, the actual contact notes are available to read online for free, where they are regularly updated. The contacts with the Plejaren themselves are supposedly to end within this decade, after which point we’ll be left to our own devices.

The information was never meant or expected to appeal at once to the masses or to those who require new information to be ‘immediately convincing’ or rewarding to their egos, but rather to those possessing the intelligence to first do the necessary research, using primary references (rather than simply looking up a ‘Wikipedia’ article for instance, which can be written by anyone with opposing views). These are probably the main reasons why other accounts of extraterrestrial contact are given more credence - they require no work, but only belief. The Meier case will most likely never be given any considerable mention or credibility within the community of ‘UFO authors’ either, for if the case were approached truly objectively by a large number of people, it would probably have a seemingly unfair and devaluating effect on that particular ‘genre’ as a niche. Even if other purely anecdotal accounts of extraterrestrials happen to accord with actual events, there is nothing to substantiate them or glean from them with importance anywhere near the level of that which could be gleaned from the Meier case. However, it’s that very reason why ironically the people of FIGU have erroneously been referred to as belonging to a cult. In normal cases, great suspicion is obviously warranted toward any single source offering answers to so many of life’s biggest questions. Then again, one could ask what else could be expected from a civilization allegedly many thousands of years more advanced than ours. The information in the case is also presented in a dignified, focused and purposeful manner, which obviously doesn’t appeal to those who are generally apathetic, nihilistic or fatalistic in their world views. These are understandable reactions to the effects of religion on the planet and society over the centuries, but in no way a logical response to something like FIGU merely because it aims to be ‘helpful’ to people or employs symbolism in its messaging.

Meier’s sources are claimed to expressly warn against dogmatic thinking and the belief in gods, guardian angels, messiahs or other such ‘middle-men’, rather emphasizing the necessity for self-responsibility in determining our own meaning in the effort towards conscious evolution and the survival of our civilization as a whole. Again, just because much of the science posited by the Plejaren wouldn’t be corroborated by terrestrial science for many generations to come, doesn’t mean we can’t begin now with the ideas and hypotheses that could be helpful in leading to those associated advancements. We don’t ‘believe’ in science, and in most cases we can’t claim to personally ‘know’ the science unless we’re actively duplicating someone’s results in a lab or in the field. What most of us actually do, however, is ‘trust’ the science because of the methods we know are used and the efficacy of the results. Most of us aren’t sound analysts, metallurgists or directors of special effects, but I’m certainly not asking anyone to simply believe the case, nor would I claim anyone should know it’s real. I’m asking people to trust the professionals - at least enough to consider the reality of the case.

The events surrounding the Meier case are certainly uncommon, and therefore, unfortunately, also considered unlikely. A prevailing sentiment amongst most people also seems to be that if something is truly important and worth knowing, that it would already be ‘established knowledge’ by the time they became aware of it. This completely ignores the fact that much knowledge is a result of a process that takes time and effort, and that even if the results were initially known by only a small number of people, the effective principles associated with that knowledge were no less true because of it. This logic is unfortunately not practiced by many skeptics, whom in various fields of knowledge only stand on the shoulders of those who’ve already done the work - a very convenient way for skeptics to always appear correct, which is also why they hardly venture to bring truly new information to the fore. So, rather than being meek or passive, I decided to attempt something unlikely by writing this letter to anyone who may come across it, for which I obviously expect (and accept) all incurred skepticism and mockery, especially in a society where rampant conspiracies and fantasies involving extraterrestrials have lead to a merited inability and lack of care for subtleties in discretion. It must be emphasized, however, that what we are talking about here is no ‘alien salvation commune’ or internet conspiracy hub for the desperate and ignorant. The evidence in the case obviously hasn’t been published in a peer-reviewed journal, and even though eyewitness corroboration or publication dates for Meier’s scientifically accurate information may be able to pass as authentic in legal terms, I do not expect official science to accept this as proof that we are being visited. What we do have, however, are high indications through a process of elimination, which ultimately lead to the question, “Is the information being presented in it’s entirety worth considering in order to avoid or help others avoid potential death?” I can’t see how the answer of any truly concerned or forward-thinking person would be, “No.”

Speaking reasonably, it’s far more likely that once the future brings terrestrial advances in propulsion technology (perhaps even in the way of flying ‘disk-like’ crafts that can reach great distances), then it may also become common enough of a sight for people to retroactively look back at the Meier case with a less cynical lens. The ‘death effect’ unfortunately also may play a role here - something common amongst artists for instance, whose works in a number of cases only become appreciated posthumously, as if inadvertently ‘standing the test of time’, or at least being romanticized by it. This is also, though in a more extreme sense, a sentiment attached to certain, ancient personalities in the way that they’ve been assigned supernatural traits after their deaths, resulting in some of the cultic religions we see today. However, since the Meier contacts exist in an age when record-keeping is far more reliable, people in the future may better be able to gauge its value without romanticization.

Fiction has its obvious role in providing escapism, expressing the dreams and aspirations of mankind, and perhaps in the case of science fiction suggesting a destiny in interstellar exploration that seems almost intrinsic to our DNA. It would seem logical then that if people are so interested in these concepts as entertainment, that they would be at least ‘as’ if not more interested in an ongoing case that not only includes these very elements, but contains the added benefit of offering evidence of its reality. I’m urging you to step out of the current social paradigm and ask “what if… ”, even if just for the amount of time it takes to look at the photo gallery of the spacecraft demonstrations, and watch the documentary The Silent Revolution of Truth.

I’m sure though that if you ever happen to be in Switzerland and decide to pass through the FIGU center, that Billy and the other people there would be more than happy to give you specific information that might also benefit you personally. Here are the links:
