Is no Steven Greer. Bring Meier here for appropriate scrutiny. Or
have him hold a major national press conference like Greer did.

If you have read about Billy Meier

eg.

http://www.tjresearch.info/ufology.htm

You'll see that he has been publicising the material he has to give
to mankind since the 1980s when he released his UFO photographs, etc.

Some of his photo's look remarkably convincing, but some of them don't, if
only one or two of his photos are obviously faked it casts extreme doubt on
all the rest.

The other aspect is it's relatively easy to fake up UFO photographs and you
certainly don't need Photoshop to do it. However it is extremly difficult to
fake up images of people let alone living breathing sentient space aliens,
and that IMO seems to be where the whole thing falls apart I mean the guy
claims to be in contact with these people (the aliens) and they are meant to
be cooperating in his photographic endevours. So one wonders why he has no
happy snaps of the aliens outside their spaceship waving little hankies or
doing whatever alien tourists do. Why are they so camera shy? I mean how
convienient, are they closet Space Aliens and afraid to be recognised in the
street or something? Couldn't they have worn Sunglasses and false beards or
something LOL

He has been shot down by certain UFO investigators and supported by
others.

People want to believe, and IMO it seems highly unlikely we are alone. But
solid irrefutable evidence in favour of Meir's claims is non-existent.

Apparently the bulk of his UFO Contact Notes still remain as German
text and has not been properly translated into English.

Well I can read German and can even speak it, although I'm not particularly
fluent, it isn't ancient Egyptian and you don't need the Rosetta stone to
translate it. It's a modern European language spoken in a large proportion
of the EU and there are numerous on-line translation services where German
text can be translated into English. So if you have heard that given as an
excuse, then it sounds very dubious.

It's not as if he has been hiding all this time - and - he hasn't
turned himself into a Sai Baba lookalike with his teachings/following.
Note: What has happened is that certain people have jumped onto the
Pleidian/Pleiades bandwagon trying to link onto the publicity that
surrounded Billy Meier. Billy Meier has clearly stated that they are
spreading false information.

False prophets hey. That's what they all say :)

 > Michael Horn is the official US spokesperson for him who publicises

as much as he can about Billy Meier in the US.

Wendelle Stevens is probably the UFO investigator who has spent the
longest (and earliest) investigation into Billy Meier.
Billy Meier has not only produced UFO photographs (the clearest and
best so far [of multiple UFOs]), but also that of movie film (not
good quality) which all date back to the early 80s and earlier, but
also sound recording - physical evidence (metal samples) and also a
great deal of information presented via his ET source. These have
been analysed to see if they are genuine or not. The results have
been surprising.

It would be nice if it were true. The idea that space aliens or to be more
precise an attractive blond woman from outer space has chosen a stange nerdy
bearded Swiss farmer with one arm as a special human friend is such a nice
sweet romatic story. But none of the material is irrefutable, and there is
evidence of fakery and it's such an incredible story considering the lack of
corobrative evidence seems highly unlikely.

Is there a Billy Meier empire? That has merchardise selling like some
graceland museum and book library, that is a commercial enterprise?
No. While there are materials available to purchase, they are hardly
offered
as any kind of money-earning bandwagon. See www.figu.org

It's not Walt Disney or Microsoft But one imagines it's enough for Billy
Meier to make a comfortable living.
