Original subtitles

[narrator] Ever since humankind first looked to the heavens,

we have asked the question, "Are we alone?"

Tales of otherworldly beings...

ancient prophecies and predictions...

and sightings here on Earth,

have heightened our sense of anticipation.

But in recent years, these claims have become

more frequent.

[Ms. Mace] Do you believe our government has made contact

with intelligent extraterrestrials?

It's something I can't discuss in a public setting.

[narrator] More insistent....

Biologics came with some of these recoveries.

[narrator] ...and ever more dramatic.

Born in Switzerland in 1937, Edward Meier, known to all as

Billy Meier, claims to have been in contact with

extraterrestrials since the age of five.

He says they have taken him on journeys through space and time,

and that he can prove it.

Despite mounting evidence that we are not alone in

the universe, official sources still deny Meier's claims.

Do you believe UAPs pose a potential threat to our national security?

Yes.

-Yes. -Yes.

[narrator] What are we not being told?

Our team of experts re-open the files.

They'll analyze the intelligence,

investigate the science,

and reveal the truth.

[camera shutter snapping]

[narrator] Edward Albert Billy Meier is a fascinating man.

If his life story is to be believed, he has traversed

the world on foot, held more than 300 jobs,

and conversed with royalty, dictators, and holy men.

He also claims that since 1942, he has been in contact with

aliens from a different dimension, and has traveled

through time and space with them.

The Billy Meier case is highly controversial.

[narrator] Billy Meier was born on February 3rd, 1937, in the town

of Bulach, Switzerland.

He was the second child of shoemaker Julius Meier,

and his wife, Bertha.

Five more siblings would follow.

It was in 1942, as war raged across Europe, that Billy

claims the aliens first visited him.

He claims they began communicating with him

telepathically when he was five years old.

It was the start of their decades-long mission,

to make Billy a messenger for all mankind.

Billy was what was known as a Verdingkinder, where poor

Swiss children were taken from their parents and forced to

work under abusive circumstances.

One fateful incident would change the course of his life.

Billy, in his youth, was being abused by some

neighborhood woman.

Apparently, she had hit him with a towel.

And he didn't take to that too well, and he abused her back,

and was put into a type of juvenile detention.

[narrator] After his release, Meier wanted to get away from Switzerland,

and even though just a teenager,

joined the French Foreign Legion.

The French Foreign Legion, a division of the French Army

that began in 1831 is open to anyone willing to serve

France's interests at home and abroad.

As Billy was to discover, it's not for everyone.

He found that this was not his calling in life.

He decided to return to Switzerland.

He traveled everywhere seeking, looking,

experimenting, trying jobs, learning every spiritual

philosophy and religion.

He was a seeker. He was looking for something.

[Billy speaking German, archived]

[narrator] Over more than a decade, he covered more than

225,000 kilometers on foot.

He studied religions, and practiced several first-hand.

He also worked over 360 jobs --

from chicken farmer, to snake catcher.

He also spent time working for police forces in the Middle

East, bringing in mass murderers and serial killers.

At this time, he was known as the Phantom.

[narrator] Living an itinerant life, Meier wasn't just changing

locations and vocations, he was trying out new beliefs,

new religions, and spiritualism.

And his experiments with faith were, he claimed, guided

by his extraterrestrial companions.

[Billy speaking German, archived]

[narrator] Sfaath, like most other extraterrestrials that Meier

supposedly encountered, was a Plejaren from the M45

star cluster, known as the Pleiades in

the constellation Taurus.

But according to Meier, this is not the Pleiades observable by

Earth's astronomers, because they live in

a different dimension.

When they travel to us, they have to cross through

a dimension gate.

The coordinates of these gates are a deeply held secret.

The reason why the Plejaren were contacting Billy,

he was told, related to an ancient mission reaching

back many thousands of years.

To fulfill this mission, he was told he needed to meet

some very powerful people.

Sfaath then introduced him to various international

governments and heads of state, diplomats and other

important people.

[speaking German]

[narrator] It was an incredible time in the young man's life,

but more wonders were to follow.

[speaking German]

[narrator] His guide may have changed,

but the introductions to famous people

on the world stage continued.

[Billy speaking German, archived]

[narrator] Not all of Billy's adventures were terrestrial, however.

Billy claims to have traveled

the solar system and visited a planet

full of dinosaurs.

Billy even claims to have met the real Jesus Christ,

who was an E.T. named Jmmanuel.

[Billy speaking German, archived]

[narrator] If claiming to know the real Jesus Christ wasn't

controversial enough, things soon took an even

more heretical turn.

In 1963, Billy claims that he and a former Greek Orthodox

priest, Issa Rashid, were guided by the Plejarens to a hidden

tomb on the outskirts of Jerusalem.

It had lain undisturbed for nearly 2,000 years.

Inside, they claimed to have found scrolls wrapped in animal

skin and protected with resin.

Billy claimed that the scrolls were actually

the Talmud Jmmanuel, the true words of Jesus Christ.

[narrator] Over the next seven years, Rashid translated these scrolls

from ancient Aramaic, the language Jesus and his

disciples would have spoken, into German.

Meier and Rashid kept their work a secret.

According to Billy, Rashid was pursued by agents of various

religions, threatened by the Talmud Jmmanuel.

Billy also says that eventually, Rashid fled to

Lebanon, his house was destroyed,

and the scrolls were lost forever.

[narrator] According to Billy, Rashid had translated a quarter

of the Talmud.

But before he could complete the work, Billy claimed Rashid

was lured to Baghdad by the Mossad and assassinated.

[distant gunshots pop]

[narrator] With the scrolls lost and Rashid killed, all that

Billy had were partial translations.

Luckily, the Plejaren apparently provided another

copy of the scrolls.

The final edition was published in 2011.

A year after discovering the scrolls, Billy traveled to

India, where the Plejarens granted him

a special opportunity.

[Billy speaking German, archived]

[narrator] He was no longer alone in his alien encounters.

Phobol Cheng is the granddaughter of the monk

with whom Billy lived while in India.

She is also a retired UN diplomat and a friend

and supporter of Meiers.

She too claims to have witnessed the spaceships Billy

spoke of during his trip.

I would see it once a week, or sometimes twice a week,

ship over the Ashok Ashram.

Sometimes I would see more than two.

[narrator] There is no record of Chang mentioning her sightings of

these spaceships prior to her reconnecting with Billy

in the 1990s.

Since then, however, her story has

remained unchanged.

[narrator] In the 1960s, as Billy Meier made his way around the world

telling key political and religious leaders of

his encounters with an alien life form known

as the Plejaren,

he would occasionally fall into harm's way.

And in August 1965, while traveling in Turkey,

tragedy struck.

While traveling in Turkey, Billy Meier was on a bus with

his arm out the window.

Bus was hit by another bus, and Billy eventually

lost his arm.

It must have been very difficult for him.

[narrator] Meier spent much of the next month wandering the country

in a painkiller-induced hallucinatory haze.

Once he had recovered, he resumed his travels.

He eventually moved from Turkey to Greece.

After traveling for 20 years, Billy met

his wife, Kalliope, and eventually they settled

in Switzerland.

[narrator] The newly married couple continued Billy's itinerant

life, staying in Pakistan, where they had

their first child, Gilgamesha.

In 1970, they returned to Billy's native Switzerland,

where they settled down, and had two more children,

Atlantis-Socrates and Methusalem.

But life back in Switzerland wasn't easy.

Meier was surviving on his disability payment

and a little money from raising chickens.

He yearned for something deeper.

It was 1974, and Billy Meier placed an ad in a magazine

requesting anybody to come and talk to him who have had

any type of paranormal or metaphysical experience.

[narrator] The ad generated enough interest to form

a small study group.

At one of the meetings, he told the group about

his regular encounters with aliens and shared his photos.

The news slowly began to spread.

Meier's claims are virtually unknown in the Western world

until a UFO investigator named Wendelle Stevens took

an interest in his case and started publicizing it

widely in the United States.

He brought with him a team that included private investigators

and independent scientific experts.

In the end, he stated categorically that

Billy's were the most spectacular photos

he had ever seen.

[narrator] In 1979, Stevens and his team published the first English

language books about Meier and translations

of his writings.

Soon, the whole world learned about Billy Meier.

Billy was very interested in creating a community,

providing him the ability to spread the wisdom that he says

or claims that he received from the Plejarens.

[narrator] He established the Free Interest Group Universal, or FIGU.

He gained devoted friends and followers who had complete

faith in his accounts of alien contact.

But he also began to attract equally devoted skeptics,

eager to debunk him.

And they have been attacking Billy Meier ever since.

It was then Billy undertook what he considered to be

his official mission.

In January, 1975, he was visited by Semjase,

another female Plejaren.

They would meet more than 100 times and travel through

time and space.

And Billy finally had the photos and films to prove it.

As a passenger on her spacecraft, Billy claims

that he was able to go where none had gone before,

and was allowed to record and retain what he witnessed.

With his own camera, he documented his voyages to

outer space and all the way to Venus.

He goes into detail about what it was like on the beam ship,

how it allowed him to take photographs, and his journey

around the solar system.

[narrator] He states the 61-million-kilometer flight

to Venus was so fast he only had time to view

the monitoring system.

But he said it was a glass panel 50 by 50 centimeters big,

and it produced incredible vivid images in 3D form.

[narrator] He describes plunging through kilometers of thick cloud cover

to see the relatively flat and barren landscape of Venus

that isn't as pocked with craters and volcanoes

as once believed.

He turned out to be right for good reasons.

The Soviet Venera missions of the '60s and '70s had orbited

the planet, and some probes had landed on the surface.

All the images taken by the probes were in

the public domain.

Billy Meier also said Semjase took him around Mercury,

Mars, and a few other planets.

On the return to Earth, Semjase and Billy witnessed

the historical docking of the American Apollo spacecraft

with the Soviet Soyuz capsule.

This happened on January 15, 1975, and it was a significant

step toward improving East-West relations during the Cold War.

[narrator] The Cold War affected every facet of global politics,

including the space race.

Many did not believe they would ever see the two rivals

collaborate on an Apollo-Soyuz docking mission,

a so-called handshake in space.

As millions around the world tuned in to watch the event

happen live on television, Meier claimed he had a ringside

seat and that he and Semjase were able to witness

the docking from space.

He said they took many photos,

photos that only widened his credibility gap.

For instance, when looking at a Soyuz spacecraft,

they could look at the compartment and see the two

cosmonauts cramped inside.

Billy's pictures look exactly like the ones that NASA took,

and down to every particular. There are no differences.

The implication is that he just borrowed them from NASA.

[narrator] According to critics, that's common practice for

Meier and FIGU.

Meier claims to have taken pictures of dinosaurs on

a distant planet.

Unfortunately, those pictures look suspiciously similar to

illustrations from a 1972 book called Life Before May.

[narrator] And then there's a set of photos claimed to be images of

Asket and another female Plejaren, Nera, aboard

a beam ship.

Asket and Nera are actually Michelle Della Fave,

and Susan Lund.

They're in a dance troupe called the Gold Diggers.

But Billy claims this was all a hoax perpetrated by

the Men in Black.

[narrator] Billy claims that his genuine photos and films had been

intercepted by government operatives who had substituted

false images to discredit him.

And although Meier claimed that many of his photographs were

tampered with to discredit him, there is, as yet,

no conclusive proof.

The photos of Asket and Nera are not faked,

but were manipulated.

There are testimonials from photographic film,

and special effects experts, a United States astronaut,

a national security supervisor, and a NASA aerospace engineer.

They have all authenticated Billy Meier's

photographic evidence.

A UFO researcher did go to a lab that Billy Meier claimed

to have had his photos analyzed in.

The lab states that they have never analyzed any of

Billy Meier's photos.

They tested these UFO photos under

non-disclosure agreements. Secrecy was obviously critical.

So when other UFO researchers inquired, they would deny

any involvement.

[narrator] Some of Billy's images and films have proven far more

robust against challenges than others.

He took over 1,400 clear, primarily daytime, UFO photos

and films, all of which remain irreproducible.

[narrator] In the footage, you can see saucer-shaped ships rising

and falling as they fly across the landscape.

According to Meier, this was the impact of riding

the resonance of the Earth's magnetic field.

[narrator] Other clips show a ship disappearing from the film

and then reappearing from nowhere.

This, he said, is because they have technology that

allows them to slip into our dimension and back to

their dimension and then into ours again through what

he called dimension gates.

[narrator] And another focuses on a so-called Tortenschiff,

or wedding cake ship.

Skeptics were quick to point to Meier's previously debunked UFO

photos, accused of being models suspended by wires or photos

taken from novel angles.

But Wendelle Stevens investigated the photos further,

and brought them to NASA's Deep Space Network.

Test results showed no evidence of a hoax.

They also tested metal samples Meier claimed to have been

given by Semjase.

Wendelle Stevens took the artifact to an IBM research

scientist at the Advanced Systems Development Division Lab

in San Jose, California.

He determined that the sample contained a highly unusual

combination of elements, including the rare earth

metal thallium.

It would have been a major development, except some claim

the scientist had made an innocent error,

reviewing the data, and the element

was found to be aluminum,

commonly found in many household objects.

Aside from the physical evidence, experts

in photography, cinema, and special effects

who have examined Billy Meier's images and videos

were taken aback.

Japanese broadcaster, Nippon TV, could find no cuts

or edits in the film.

And experts at Uncharted Territory,

an Oscar-winning special effects house,

studied the footage, and as far as they could determine,

the film was not a hoax, and they would have to use CGI

if they wanted to achieve that effect today.

Robert Post, the head of the photo lab at NASA's Jet

Propulsion Laboratory, said he couldn't see anything

fake about the photos.

Wally Gentleman, who managed Stanley Kubrick's

special effects on 2001's Space Odyssey, said it would cost

around $50,000 to achieve these shots if they were faked.

[narrator] The footage was even analyzed by a computer scientist at

the US Geological Survey.

Eric Eliason, who developed software for

the Viking and Voyager space probes, put it through

his systems to detect any artificial intervention.

It spotted nothing.

These experts stopped short of suggesting that the film showed

anything extraterrestrial, but they appeared convinced

that what they were looking at was not faked.

As a scientist, I'd want to know exactly what the experts

looked at photogrammetrically.

Did they look at the lens parameters?

Did they look at the lighting? Did they look at perspective?

Did they look at the grain?

What did they actually look at, and how did

they reach their conclusions?

[narrator] But further support for Meier's claims comes from

other witnesses.

Meier did manage to gather around himself a very devoted

group of followers, many of whom claim to have seen flying

saucers later themselves.

[Atlantis-Socrates speaking German, archived]

There are now approximately

120 eyewitnesses.

I am one of those eyewitnesses as well.

Three sightings of aircraft, one from 20 feet away when

I lived in the mountains of Brazil.

[narrator] The sightings, the photos, the space and time travel,

and even the devotion of Billy's followers are just

pieces of the puzzle.

The bigger question is, what is Billy's mission?

He has been shown that every god mankind has ever believed

in was an extraterrestrial.

Some came here intending to be worshiped, some came to be

feared, and others came to help.

[narrator] Billy Meier is convinced that religion is at the heart of

the problems the human race faces today.

The Plejarens want to undo their ancestors' damage by

empowering humans, and they want Billy Meier to

spread their teachings.

[narrator] Having claimed to have had regular contact with

extraterrestrials over the past 80 years, Billy Meier claims

his alien contacts have given him an entirely new

understanding of humanity.

[speaking German]

Religions are unproven, unscientific,

and irrational myths.

They require unquestioning acceptance

under the threat of eternal punishment and damnation.

[narrator] Challenging organized religion has brought the threat

of violence directly to Billy Meier's door.

Somebody apparently nailed a note to the door of

Billy Meier, essentially

creating a death threat.

The note said, "Enough you dog, you'll be put down."

Billy Meier had a precognitive dream

that he was gonna be shot.

So believing that dream, he placed a piece of metal

in his chest.

And later, luckily, it was there because he says he was

shot and saved by that very piece of metal.

[narrator] Meier continued his mission, uninjured and undeterred.

[Billy speaking German, archived]

[narrator] Typing with one hand, Billy has managed to transcribe 10,000

pages of contact reports containing conversations

with the Plejaren.

He's written more than 50 books and created a study course of

the Creation Energy Teaching, comprising more than 6,000

pages to help guide humanity to its true path.

[speaking German]

[narrator] Meier's teachings have led admirers to praise him as

a true prophet and detractors to accuse him of being akin to

a cult leader and a fake.

None of this, however, appears to faze him.

[speaking German]

[narrator] Even among the UFO community, Billy Meier is

a divisive figure.

Is he a prophet, a charlatan, or as his more

vociferous critics would claim, simply mentally ill?

Although Billy Meier has displayed many types of

behavior that could indicate a level of mental illness,

it would be unfair to label him mentally ill without a proper

medical examination.

[narrator] He admits his alien adventures began when he started hearing

voices at age five.

Billy was never diagnosed with schizophrenia as far as I know

and he didn't really display that type of

behavior -- schizophrenic, that's a different type

of behavior.

He's a serial fantasist,

that's the behavior he displays.

[narrator] As a youngster, growing up in an unstable and unhappy home,

fantasy might have been his only refuge.

There were already indicators that Billy had issues

in his childhood.

He had been in trouble with the law, he had been

in trouble with school.

His later personality was a seeker.

Billy went everywhere.

He landed later on the extraterrestrial,

and continued to elaborate from there.

It does seem that he is constantly seeking

attention and validation.

[narrator] Battered by hardship his whole life, separated from

his parents, abused by guardians, a difficult divorce,

a lost limb, all could contribute to a sense of

isolation and loneliness.

So he spent his life searching for like-minded people to

create a new sense of self, a new identity, and sense of

belonging, something he may have found at FIGU.

But only after conventional religion failed to satisfy him.

He tried a lot of gods.

He experimented with a lot of religions.

But ultimately, the Plejarens gave him the certainty

and answers that he needed.

[narrator] Still, he couldn't quite abandon religion entirely,

which arguably led to Meier's most inflammatory claim,

the alleged discovery of the Talmud Jmmanuel,

an affront to every Abrahamic faith.

There is precedent for something like

the Talmud Jmmanuel.

The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the 1940s

and gave us the idea that we could discover scrolls that

would give us insight into early Christian thought.

[narrator] And yet Meier and FIGU are a strictly atheist group,

with some of their writings aggressively anti-religion.

How does this square with the Talmud discovery?

In the last several decades, religion scholars have seen

a dramatic increase in the percentage of people

who have no organized religion.

People are starting to create their own custom belief systems,

and dropping out of organized faith.

[narrator] FIGU members claim they base their beliefs on evidence

rather than faith, because to them, faith has

negative connotations.

Religion is used to control people through fear.

This leads to conflicts in the name of religion,

which permits people to give into their most base nature.

Torture, terrorism, murder, all undertaken

in the name of religion,

with no personal responsibility.

[narrator] Meier's followers believe that this call for temporal

self-determination over divine decree is at the heart of

the alleged threats against Billy Meier's life.

Billy's theological warnings found unlikely support from

a NASA-funded Cambridge University project to explore

how humanity would respond when faced with confirmation that

we're not alone and not, therefore, divinely chosen.

Were Billy and the Plejarens right?

Would the discovery of aliens shake human understanding to

such an extent that world religions would crumble?

The study suggested the opposite, that amongst all

of the doubt, humanity would cling more tightly to faith.

Whether UFOs have come to lead us, enlighten us, or abduct us,

does our current understanding of science support

the possibility of visitors from the Pleiades star cluster?

It's 500 light years away.

That's relatively close in astronomical terms,

but totally beyond our practical reach.

I think someday we might get up to 100,000 miles

an hour or more.

Some of the new drives NASA's considering could get us up to

maybe a million miles an hour.

But that would still be hundreds of thousands of

millions of years to get to the Pleiades.

So it doesn't seem like that's gonna happen anytime soon.

[narrator] Swiss-born Billy Meier shot to prominence over his claims to

have traveled with an alien race called the Plejarens,

500 light years to their home in the Pleiades star cluster.

He claims the Plejarens conquered the vastness of space

by slipping through interdimensional gates.

But how well are his claims backed up by current thinking

in quantum mechanics and astrophysics?

The multiverse theory suggests that our universe may be one of

many parallel universes that sit under the umbrella

of the multiverse.

It's like the sliding doors concept.

The idea that different possible outcomes of quantum events lead

to a multiplicity of parallel universes.

There are theories of multiple parallel universes springing

from quantum mechanics, but there's no evidence that

it's actually true, let alone that it would be possible to

pop back and forth between the alternate universes.

[narrator] In the 1980s, string theory proposed a grand theory

of everything, including

four-dimensional spacetime.

String theory suggests that the fundamental constitutes of

the universe are actually made up of tiny vibrating strings

that contain more dimensions than we're used to with

three-dimensional space and time.

It's these possible extra dimensions and how they relate

to our universe that we're just beginning to understand.

[narrator] When he began discussing these interactions with

the Plejarens, could Billy Meier have been aware

of these theories?

The idea of the multiverse was first proposed by physicist

Hugh Everett and his Many Worlds Interpretation back

in the 1950s.

According to the Many Worlds Interpretation, when a quantum

measurement is made, every possible outcome occurs,

but each in a separate universe.

This means there could be an infinite number of parallel

universes, each with its own set of laws and conditions.

[narrator] So what we consider to be normal earthly reality isn't

necessarily universal.

These universes could have different fundamental

constants, different laws of physics, and even different

initial conditions.

Different initial conditions means that you could create

a universe that we might not even be able to perceive.

[narrator] If the multiverse is real, then could anything,

even the claims made by Billy Meier about the Plejarens,

be possible?

We're not even close to testing a theory.

We don't know how to yet.

But in a reality with infinite universes, you have to

acknowledge infinite possibilities, even crazy

claims like Billy's.

[narrator] And if these claims are true, then what of Billy's role

as a prophet?

He has made many strikingly accurate predictions

that have come true.

Meiers never published these things as theories,

but always as statements of fact, and he's never had to

redact, retract, edit, or remove any of them.

[narrator] FIGU member Michael Horn is convinced of Billy's gifts.

Some of the over 200 specific examples of prophetically

accurate information published by Meier before official

discovery include Meier's 1951 predictions of the climate

crisis, the ozone damage, and environmental destruction,

Meier's 1948 predictions of strong earthquakes in central

Italy that would occur between 2015 and 2017,

and the existence of hundreds of thousands of undersea

volcanoes that encircle the Earth.

Just recently, scientists discovered

19,000 of them.

Meier's 1987 predictions of the destruction of

the World Trade Center on 9-11, the creation of computerized

AI weapons.

[narrator] If he did make these prophecies in advance of the events,

what are the implications?

If the Plejarens gave Billy prophecies related to

the future, it would indicate the existence of beings with

abilities and skills well beyond our own.

In short, it would be seismic.

[narrator] His students are confident that time will validate Billy's

claims and his prophecies will be his enduring legacy.

In 1958, he sent a document of nearly

150 predictions to a selection of UN heads of state.

All the predictions were specific, some of them

remarkably so.

He foretells the two US wars with Iraq, AIDS as a coming

epidemic, and crystal meth as a coming drug epidemic.

He foretells computers, credit cards, and the dates of

events such as moon landings and rocket launches years

and decades before they occur.

[narrator] But others are not so sure.

First of all, I'd wanna go back and look at the hard data

and see whether that's actually true.

were those predictions made?

Or were they, as in usually the case, where someone looks

in hindsight at what happened and then fits what happened

into what we now already know?

So I'd really wanna look at the hard data.

I don't take on its face that he made any of those

predictions accurately.

[narrator] Billy's followers claim his visions even extended

to outer space.

Billy said that IO, one of Jupiter's moons, is the most

volcanically active body in the solar system.

And he published this five months before the scientists

discovered it.

In 1981, he issued a warning about a red meteor that would

endanger the Earth either on the 13th of April, 2029,

or on the same date, seven years later, in 2036.

[narrator] Billy Meier has lived an extraordinary life.

He's an extraordinary man who is obviously

highly intelligent,

well-traveled, and well-versed in scientific discovery,

all characteristics that have allowed him to make some

extraordinary claims, some easily refutable,

some not so much.

Many of Billy Meier's predictions were

highly predictable, and anybody following

the news or the climate of politics

would have made the same prediction.

I'm driven by probabilities, and I'm looking at this the way

an intelligence analyst would, with an alternative hypothesis.

On the one hand, we have the fact that there are

really aliens, and Billy really captured them on film.

On the other hand, we have that he fabricated it

and the experts that looked at it were just wrong.

Which one's more probable?

Billy's stories seem erratic and subject to change and don't

seem to stand up to sustained scrutiny.

So, as a scientist, I find them hard to believe.

[narrator] But we'll save the last word for those who know him best,

and who have been fighting in his corner against debunkers

for decades.

The skeptics would like us to believe that this man with no

resources, working as a night watchman

on a partial disability pension,

with one arm, is not only a master model maker,

photographer, filmmaker,

metallurgist, electronics genius,

sound engineer, geographer,

and agriculturist, along with 30 other disciplines.

They will credit him with that, but not that

he's telling the truth.

[narrator] As Billy Meier himself would put it, open your mind, look at

the evidence, and decide for yourself.
