Kal Korff effectively trashes the Billy Meier story in this weighty, well-illustrated volume. Meier's claims are among the most enduring, mainly because they produced stunningly clear photos of flying saucers hovering above the Swiss landscape. Meier said he was in contact with "Semjase," a beautiful female humanoid from the Pleiades star system who allowed Meier, but no one else, to photograph her "beamships." Korff methodically dissects the claims and the photos. Not only does he prove the photos hoaxes; he also provides detailed how-to instructions for producing your own. In Switzerland, Agent Korff goes undercover to investigate Meier and his group, the Semjase Silver Star Center, which Korff calls a ufo "cult." (A bit too strong a word we think. "Clown college" would be a better term, with special guest appearances by Wendelle Stevens, Lee Elders and Jim "Give-Me-Photo-And-I'll-Show-You-a-UFO" Dilettoso.) There are plenty of footnotes and references, and the whole work is so carefully researched and ultimately devastating that we feel a little sad. Billy Meier's aliens were so full of peace and love -- a product of the 60s -- and the saucers were so stunningly stylish -- even if made with dinner plates -- that it seems inhumane to dispatch them with such efficiency. (We can imagine poor Santa Claus getting similar treatment from Korff.) Still, this book is a lot of fun, and Korff comes off as quite a character himself -- a sort of mad crusader who will let no Pleiadians stand in the way of the truth. -- Glenn Campbell
