Randolph Winters on the merits of the controversial Eduard "Billy" Meier case of Switzerland. In the two hour broadcast, both Korff and Winters stated their positions on the Meier case: Korff expressing his views that the case is an elaborate hoax, and Winters stating that the "core" of the case was real. A studio audience for the debate, consisting 15 people, 9 females and 6 males, declared Korff the overwhelming winner, by a margin of 13-2. "I just think Mr. Kal Korff proved his case more convincingly. And Mr. Winters admitted that Mr. Kal was right on many points." stated Brian Young, one of the studio audience members who voted for Korff. Although Korff was voted as having won the debate, two people expressed disappointment. "I expected fireworks, fire and brimstone, that sort of thing." exclaimed Sara Trujillo, one of the audience poll members. "Instead, both Mr. Winters and Mr. Korff were very civilized to each other and I find those kind of debates to be very boring." What the Korff and Winters debate lacked in the form of verbal fireworks, it more than made up for in a series of startling revelations about the Meier case by Randolph Winters. To the surprise of both the SIGHTINGS show host, Mr. Jeff Rense, and Kal Korff, Mr. Winters conceded that there were real "problems" with some of the Meier evidence. "I was pleasantly surprised that Mr. Winters admitted that Meier's photos of the planet Venus are really images from the Mariner 10 spacecraft passed off as 'real'. I was also surprised to hear Mr. Winters admit that he did not believe in many of the so-called time-travel images that Meier claims he has taken." stated Korff. In another startling admission, Randolph Winters also conceded that he had transcripts from Billy Meier's "visit" with "Jesus Christ" which Meier claims took place at the age of 19. Winters voiced his skepticism of the account as being true because he said it was full of egotistical remarks about Meier himself, "probably written by Meier himself." Winters also disclosed that he gave copies of Meier's "conversation" with Jesus Christ to UFO researcher Dr. James Deardorff, who has written extensively on the subject of the "Talmud Jmmanuel," the so-called "last testament" of Christ. "I found that revelation by Mr. Winters fascinating, because I am not aware that Mr. Deardorff has ever shared this remarkable 'contact' with the public. I now challenge Jim Deardorff to do so, and come forth with this information that he apparently has. The public has a right to see this. Obviously, the whole issue of this Talmud, and its' professed authenticity, must be judged in part in consideration of this discussion Meier says he had with Jesus." stated Kal Korff after the debate. Winters also contradicted himself towards the end of the program, when he denied Korff's charge that Meier runs a cult. However, after hearing several examples cited by Korff of how Meier makes his followers "live their lives according to the Pleiadians," and how they "control how many kids you can have, when you can have them, and what the severe penalties are if you violate their rules" he admiited that Korff was right. Korff also mentioned that Meier's followers must give "10% of their salary every month to the group," with Korff calling it "Pleiadian tithing." Winters then admitted Korff was right on this point as well, and conceded that he had left the Meier group himself after they tried to impose the very same restrictions on him! Although Winters was not available for interviews after the debate, Korff was asked for his thoughts about the two hour affair. "It was a very interesting debate from the standpoint that Winters admitted and agreed with some of my research in my book that exposes Billy Meier. This surprised me. The last time I saw him he was much more confrontational. But for me, the real issue isn't who won or lost, it's the fact that the public got to hear both sides of the case and now they can decide whatever they will. I think this is what debates should be all about. I am glad it was not an intense debate, nor a heated one. I simply went with its' flow." At the conclusion of the show, Winters stated that he thought the core of the Meier case was genuine but that much of the evidence surrounding the case has indeed been faked. The two ended the debate by restating their positions that the UFO subject should be investigated fully and both admitted having had a sighting of an unidentified flying object. J. Randolf Winters' book supporting the Meier case is called "The Pleiadian Mission: A Time of Awareness" and is privately-published by the Pleiades Project. Kal K. Korff's book exposing the Meier case is called "Spaceships of the Pleiades: The Billy Meier Story" and is published by Prometheus Books.
