SUBJECT: THE FARMER AND THE COSMONAUTS FILE: UFO123

|
PART 2
|
|
|
|
The Pleiades of Greek myth were seven sisters, named Aleyone,
|
|
Asterope, Electra, Celaeno, Maia, Metrope and Taygeta. They were
|
|
daughters of Atlas and Pleione. As it happens, the leader of the
|
|
migration from Lyra was called Pleione, according to Meier. Was
|
|
the mythical name a faint memory of the space traveller? Or was
|
|
the space traveller's name suggested to Meier by the
|
|
half-remembered mythical name?
|
|
|
|
...The chief critic of the Meier case has been Kal Korff, and
|
|
the title of his book on the subject sums up his attitude more
|
|
than adequately: "The most infamous hoax in ufology."
|
|
|
|
One instance of self-contradiction on the part of Meier and his
|
|
defenders concerns a sequence of photographs purporting to show a
|
|
Pleiadean spacecraft circling a tree. An unfortunate aspect of
|
|
this series is that when independant investigators visited the
|
|
site, no tree was to be found. Meier's explanation for this was
|
|
that the spacecraft had subsequently disintergrated the hapless
|
|
arboreal specimen. Wendelle Stevens told Korff that the tree
|
|
vanished because it had been teleported into "another time frame".
|
|
Kal Korff's suspicion is that neither of these things happened,
|
|
since a close look at the pictures -- reputedly taken within
|
|
seconds of one another -- reveals markedly different cloud
|
|
patterns from frame to frame. Genesis III's claim that the day in
|
|
question was particularly windy is not borne out by the weather
|
|
record, which shows wind speeds reaching a maximum of 15 miles per
|
|
hour (25 km/h). Korff reasons that a model UFO and model tree were
|
|
superimposed on pictures of the site. And indeed models of
|
|
Pleiadean craft have been found on the Meier farm -- though Meier
|
|
says that they were inspired by his actual encounters.
|
|
|
|
Possibly the least plausible of Meier's defender's is Jim
|
|
Dilettoso, of Genesis III. Kal Korff prints a long interview with
|
|
him ... in which he says that in the 1950s Wendelle Stevens and
|
|
another ufologist, Richard Miller, performed something called
|
|
'transchanneling' on aliens for the US Air Force: "They would fly
|
|
up to Alaska because they were told that the magnetic fields
|
|
there were proper for resonance induction, and we have hundreds
|
|
and hundreds of audio recordings of Richard and other CIA officers
|
|
doing transchannelings of aliens.... Two of these CIA officers ...
|
|
have developed serious personality aberrations...
|
|
|
|
The paucity of photographs of the Pleiadeans themselves is
|
|
explained by Wendelle Stevens thus: "They are afraid of being
|
|
hurt ... they do not want to be recognised. Supposedly, they do
|
|
walk the streets in Europe and don't want to be compromised." Billy
|
|
Meier, on the other hand, has happily admitted to the strong
|
|
resemblance between Semjase and his own girlfriend -- so who is
|
|
really worried about being recognised on the streets of Europe?
|
|
|
|
Less edifying are the claims made by Meier and Genesis III
|
|
concerning the sample of metal and crystal given Meier by the
|
|
Pleiadeans as examples of their technological wizardry. Meier
|
|
actually produced these while Stevens and his team were in
|
|
Switzerland. They called on him one morning and were told that he
|
|
had his 105th contact during the night and "had a surprise" for
|
|
them. This turned out to be a package, handed over by the
|
|
cosmonaut Quetzal, of four metal, one biological and nine mineral
|
|
and crystal specimens. According to Stevens's book, the scientists
|
|
who conducted "in-depth, highly sophisticated examination" of
|
|
these samples found them to have unique qualities and said they
|
|
had "never seen anything like it before". The level of purity in
|
|
the metal was not "immediately explainable" while the general
|
|
characteristics "seemed to indicate a non-electrolytic,
|
|
cold-fusion synthesis process not generally known to earth
|
|
technology".
|
|
|
|
Kal Korff found rather less to be excited about. He interviewed
|
|
Dr Marcel Vogel, who had analysed the samples for Genesis III --
|
|
and had drawn rather different conclusions from those published in
|
|
the book. Only the first sample was unique, said Dr Vogel,
|
|
consisting of aluminum, silver and thulium, each having a high
|
|
degree of purity. The other samples were ordinary crystals of
|
|
quartz, citrine, amethyst and silver solder, and there was no
|
|
reason to believe they are of extra-terrestrial origin. Jim
|
|
Dilettoso characteristically failed to further the cause by
|
|
claiming that Genesis III hold a 10-hour videotape of "the entire
|
|
lab proceedings" (which Dr Vogel denies having made), "And ... we
|
|
have about an hour of him discussing why the metal samples are not
|
|
possible in earth technology, going into intrinsic detail of why it
|
|
is not done anywhere on earth, that type of chemistry." Of course
|
|
Dr Vogel may not be the only scientist to have analysed the samples
|
|
(no mention is made by either party of the biological specimen),
|
|
but then Genesis III are notably coy about naming any of the 200
|
|
scientists they say have verified Meier's remarkable story...
