Hi. Billy Meier is one of the hardest 'players' to take seriously. First, there has been some first-rate analysis done on some of his most (in)famous photos which clearly point to skullduggery. Even if you were to give him the benefit of the doubt on these, there have been undeniable attempts to decieve, where he has been caught out - eg. the picture of the 'flying dino' which is a photo of a picture hanging in a nearby (for him) museum, his blonde alien women photo who turned out to have been snapped from a 50/60's american sit-com, the 'spaceship' photo whose exact contours matched perfectly lids off barrels found in his shed, the 'laser gun' which is identical to a toy that was sold and still available on eBay. There have been many more, but these are the ones I recall from my research where he was "caught with his hand in the cookie-jar" - and he knew it, as witnessed by the absolutely pathetic explanations he personally provided! One of his main excuses was that MIB's had tampered with his photos, where, despite many of them having been in the public domain for decades, neither he or his followers noticed this blatant tampering - until they were shown to be undeniably fraudulent! imo, by far his most far-fetched 'explanation' concerned the barrel-lids similarity, which if you are not familiar with, you should have no problem finding...

Believe it or not, I started out "wanting to believe" as this is one of the most famous individuals on the scene, but even if he is a genuine contactee, the number of times he has been 'outed' in his attempts to fabricate evidence, imo leaves him with zero credibility.....

Yeeeahhh, I know. IMO I'd say 'little' as opposed to 'zero'. Someone sent me the audiobook of the "Contact Notes" and I got about 3/4 of the way through it (it was 26 hours long IIRC) when I came to the conclusion that this guy had to be totally insane (in that he has some very vivid hallucinations and delusions), has an incredible imagination and was once a successful hoaxter, this is real, or a combination of all these things.

I lean toward 'combination of all these things', though I am a firm believer that hoaxes are usually BS unless they were created as a vehicle to turn on people to a new/different idea (ex. Ong's Hat/Incunablua). But deluded people may be 'crazy' to some extent, that thinking 'outside the lines' is something we all should try to do... 'crazy' people dont HAVE to try, and as a result there is a lot that can be learned from them regardless.

I personally think the guy's a little off (maybe an understatement)((well we're all a little off, atleast by 'mainstream' standards for being into this stuff), but I think it's likely that he has had some kind of experiance with ETs. His predictions are scary in that many have come true and few never occured. Whateever his motives for his many, many frauds his message remains and it should be considered for what may be taken from it.

It's been a few years since I researched this stuff but I seem to recall that his 'stunningly accurate predictions' had little basis in fact either - despite being sold on the notion that there was incontrovertible proof available that all of his predictions were published in advance, in reality in many instances, no actual evidence exists, particularily concerning those that involved his biggest 'sucesses'! That said, some predictions that were shown to have been published in advance, did prove accurate. However, it was argued in at least one of these instances that I remember, that the vagueness of the prediction, coupled with the fact that he was off by about 10 months, detracted from it somewhat!

That said, the 'predictive prowess' of practically all of these divinely-inspired individuals really sucks! If this info is actually coming from ET's, it looks increasingly likely that they have little more idea of what the future holds than we do....
