Professional Skeptics Group Proves UFOs Real!
Organization expected to retract defamatory claims,
facilitate $1,000,000 award to Swiss man

LOS ANGELES - It was only a matter of time before a breakthrough in
authenticating the existence of non-terrestrial UFOs would take place
but, surely, nobody thought it would come about this way. Despite
mounting evidence over the past half-century the arbiters and
manipulators of public opinion in media, governmental and scientific
circles, along with professional skeptics and debunkers, have
marginalized serious discussion of UFOs and dismissed all evidence as
inconclusive and flawed.
Defamatory Claims?
A special target, at the top of the hit list for skeptics and
debunkers for more than 25 years, are the claimed contacts of a Swiss man,
Billy Meier. Meier, who claimed that his contacts with extraterrestrial
human began in 1942, when he was five years old, also says that they
continue to this day, more than 60 years later. But the skeptics, in labeling
Meier and his evidence as fraudulent, claim that he hoaxed his 35mm
photos and 8mm film segments of the UFOs during the mid-1970s using
models or some unidentified form of special effects wizardry to
accomplish the alleged deception. Professional skeptics, such as the
international organization CFI, magician/skeptic The Amazing Randi
and science writer/skeptic Michael Shermer, have long been in the
forefront of those accusing Meier of hoaxing his physical evidence,
which also includes video and sound recordings, as well as metal
alloy samples.
Meiers supporters state that these claims run counter to the results
of scientific examination of Meiers evidence by experts from JPL,
IBM, USGS and Nippon TV, as well as special effects expert Wally
Gentleman,known for his work on Stanley Kubricks 2001, among many films.
They also claim that all of Meiers physical evidence remains
irreproducible even with todays technology.
The Challenge
In order to definitively resolve the matter, in early February 2001,
a number of Meiers more than 1200 photos and eight film segments were
presented for examination to case investigator Vaughn Rees of CFI
West, the Los Angeles branch of CFI. Mr. Rees concluded that, in his expert
opinion, they were all easily duplicated hoaxes and that the two
lights seen flashing alternately from two different parts of the UFO
in the film (Hasenbol, March 18, 1976 at:
www.figu.org/us/ufology/videos.htm) were accomplished simply by
Meiers scratching the film with a pin.
Mr. Rees agreed to back up his claims by duplicating one of Meiers
UFO photos along with the film segment, which should be the easiest to
duplicate because it was the only one of Meiers that had no other
objects in it to compare to the UFO. Mr. Rees stated that he already
had a 35mm photo camera and knew where to acquire an 8mm movie
camera.His work wasnt required to be exact to the last detail, just
convincingly comparable in quality to Meiers.
Over the next two months Mr. Rees failed to submit anything to back
up his claims and, in May of 2001, it was suggested that he could try
using any high-tech equipment available to him, i.e. computers,
special effects, Photo Shop, etc., to fulfill his commitment. It was also
suggested that, if he wished to be sporting about it, he should use
only one hand since Meier is a one-armed man.
The Results
Two years later, at a UFO conference in February of 2003, Mr. Rees
was confronted about his failure to meet the challenge. He responded that
he still didnt have access to a photo-processing lab, which Meier
himself never had access to, having sent all of his films off to a
local shop for developing. Mr. Rees was reminded that he could, and
perhaps had already tried to, use any high-tech means at his disposal
instead. In a comparable two-year period Mr. Meier had, with one
hand, produced hundreds of photos, while the able-bodied, technology-savvy
Mr. Rees had produced none.
Now, about three-years have passed and Mr. Rees has still failed to
provide even one photo or film to back up his claims. In a three-year
period of time Meier had taken nearly 1,000 photographs and, in about
one years time, he took at least one-half dozen of his 8mm films,
and he did all of this using only one hand! A comparable number and
quality of such types of films for an individual special effects person
during the mid-1970s (and maybe any other time period) would be quite
respectable, though an Internet search will reveal that no such
cinematic accomplishments, professional or otherwise, exist.
This may be the first, and most important, time in history that
skeptics have set out to disprove a presumed hoax and ended up
proving its authenticity. And, in this case, what they proved is undoubtedly
the factuality of the most important event in human history, the
existence of, and contact with, extraterrestrials.
What Integrity Demands
The professional skeptics of the Meier case have concocted all sorts
of fanciful notions and theories as to how he hoaxed the evidence. But
when challenged to prove their claims they repeatedly replied that it
was not their job to attempt to duplicate the evidence, although
conducting themselves according to the scientific method would
require it. Their time for freely, and irresponsibly, attacking Meier ran out
when Mr. Rees and CFI West utterly and completely failed to meet the
challenge they had finally accepted. In so doing, they effectively
proved Meiers UFOs real and their own claims unsubstantiated and
defamatory.
Unequivocal public retractions and apologies are now due Meier from
CFI West, Vaughn Rees, Randi, Michael Shermer, etc. They have indulged in
character assassination, slander and libel, and the sloppiest, least
scientific thinking imaginable. It is now absolutely incumbent upon
any and all of the skeptics who have offered money for proof of
paranormal phenomenon, to offer it to Meier and his non-profit
organization in Switzerland, FIGU. Specifically, the offer by Randi
of $1,000,000 for proof of a paranormal ability has been more than
satisfied and must be paid.
Integrity demands that they now live up to their word. There can be
absolutely no argument, dispute or doubt now, especially considering
the abysmal, failed attempts by the skeptical accusers themselves,
with any tools at their disposal, to debunk, let alone duplicate, Meiers
stunning proof. Now its time to recognize that the most important
event in human history has occurred and to discover what meaning it
holds for us.
Addendum
While the skeptics have offered an unexpected contribution to
authenticating what have come to be known as the Meier Contacts, its
really only the tip of a very deep and solid iceberg of irrefutable
proof far beyond a reasonable doubt.
Noted Astronomer Corroborates Additional Evidence
In April of 2003, Dr. Joseph Veverka, Chairman of the Astronomy
Department at Cornell University, was presented with documentation of
specific information on Jupiter, its rings and its moons, published
by Meier in October, 1978, five months before the Voyager probe
photographed and relayed the information back to Earth. When shown
the evidence that Meier described the moon Io as being the most
volcanically active body in the solar system, prior to the first
official knowledge of it in March of 1979, Dr. Veverka was direct and
candid, If he said that 3-5 months before, then all that I can say
is that hes right.
Meier also documented the fact that Jupiter had rings; described the
chemical composition of the planets surface, the coloration of its
moons, Ios smooth surface and Europa being encrusted in ice. But far
more amazingly, Meier accurately described both the composition and
the source of Jupiters rings 20 years before scientists from Cornell
announced their findings, in 1998!
Prophetically Accurate Information
In February of 1995, Meier published a lengthy document of enormous
complexity in which he foretold the likelihood of certain specific
future events. In September 2001, portions of that information were
included in the book And Yet They Fly! written by Guido
Moosbrugger, an Austrian former schoolteacher and principle acquainted with Meier
for about 25 years.
The following seven items, foretold on pages 347 and 348 of And Yet
They Fly! have recently occurred and virtually in the sequence Meier
foretold:
1. The strike or attack by the US and its president (Iraq). Meier
even used the word stun when he said the strike would "...stun the
entire world..." Stun is a synonym for the term shock used by the
US as in "shock and awe".
2. Meier correctly predicted the following upsurge in unrest and
violence from Islamic fundamentalists.
3. Meier foretold the spread of AIDS, which has indeed become very
widespread.
4. Mad Cow Disease has since spread to other animals and humans as
Meier also predicted.
5. Meier said that a new disease and epidemic would then appear and
SARS did just that.
6. His warning regarding a renewed threat of chemical warfare is more
in the news than ever.
7. Meier specifically warned of the possibility of an accident, one
that he said could be avoided, however, at the nuclear power plant
near Lyon, France. The emergency scenario, and the timely shut down of
that exact plant, occurred on August 12, 2003.
Now, in case the astronomically high odds against any kind of
coincidences or lucky guesses arent apparent, consider that Meier
identified the following eight years in advance:
1. The exact country and leader (out of hundreds) that would launch a
stunning attack and a synonym for the term actually used by that
countrys leader (impossible to calculate).
2. The exact religious group (out of thousands) that would respond
with their own attacks.
3. The exact disease (out of thousands) that would spread widely
among humans.
4. The exact animal disease (out of thousands) that would spread to
other animals and humans.
5. The sudden appearance of a new disease and epidemic.
6. The exact kind of weapons and warfare that would cause renewed
threats.
7. The exact location (out of 436) and type of facility (out of
several) that would have a near-accident.
If this doesn't qualify as a genuine demonstration of psychic or
paranormal abilities nothing does.And it far exceeds any reasonable requirements to garner the
financial award promised for such a demonstration, though that never has been
the purpose of Meiers mission. It is only fitting, however, that those
who have long accused him of being a hoaxer out for non-existent, and
unproven, financial gain, should now have the opportunity to reward
him, not only for his abilities, but also for suffering the fools and
their defamation for so long.
For those who may be unaware, in addition to character assassination,
Meier has survived 19 (documented) actual assassination attempts.
The Sound Recordings
Finally, the skeptics (and others whove actually tried) have also
been unable to reproduce the sound recordings Meier made of a UFO, using
only a cassette tape recorder, in an open field in front of 15
witnesses. There are 32 simultaneous frequencies occurring, 24 in the
audible and eight in the inaudible range. To date, they remain
irreproducible even with state-of-the-art synthesizers, let alone
with cassette machines outdoors.
You can hear, and download, a three-minute sample of the sounds at:
and experiment with them yourself. You will also find more
documentation on the Meier Contacts at this website.
The Most Important Event In Human History
Now that the authenticity of the Meier Contacts have been firmly
established, we can begin to examine the information, and the real
purpose, behind the most important event in human history.
Hint: It has to do with our future survival.
