This is the story of an initially skeptical group of American investigators who spent several years studying case of Eduard Meier. Meier was a one-armed Swiss farmer who claimed to have been visited by extraterrestials over a period of years. These researchers made numerous trips to the Meier farm in Switzerland during the period when contacts were allegedly taking place. It describes the reactions of senior scientists at IBM, NASA, the US Navy and elsewhere to the hundreds of photographs, physical evidence and advanced scientific knowledge presented by the minimally educated Meier. Though often dismissed as hoax, the Meier case leaves a great deal which is unexplainable in any ordinary way. These visitations may well be more significant than the Betty & Barney Hill case in impacting our understanding of the place of humanity in the universe. The book left me wanting to know more.

Author Gary Kinder explores the investigation into whether Billy Meier had actually been contacted by aliens or not. I was pretty well convinced by the book that he had made contact. A lot of people investigating the phenomenon in the book were deeply skeptical of Meier and did all they could to try to figure out how he could perpetrate a hoax, but could not find much. I thought the skepticism was getting ridiculous as I read on. But if someone doesn't want to believe in something, it doesn't really matter how much evidence is presented. My only disappointment with the book is that the author did not go into great detail about what the Pleiadians said to Billy Meier about themselves, their civilization, what they knew about our civilization, and what they were doing here. Kinder dismisses what the Meier said about the Pleiadians as "ravings". Meier made notes of each of his visits with the aliens, so going into detail about the conversations would not have been a problem. Kinder should have let the "madman" speak, instead of leaving it out of the book.

I've heard about Eduard Meier for many years and assumed he was a kook, not because I don't believe that aliens from other worlds are here, but because of the things he claims. Like traveling back and forward in time; the Pleadians taking only 8 hours to get here from their homeworld (which is light years away); his travels to Mars and other planets in our solar system; etc.

But after reading this book, I now think that his claims are true. This book introduces the reader to the investigators who tried to disprove Meier's claims and instead, ended up having to believe him because of all the evidence and proof that exists.

The book also shows just how bizarre Meier's life became due to thousands of people coming to see him. And how the UFO community tends to be its own worst enemy - all the backstabbing and vying for control over what little evidence exists.

A well written and fascinating look into one man's bizarre life and the problems with trying to prove the existence of ET.

Book Content Description from Inside the Front Cover:

In 1975, a Swiss Caretaker named Eduard "Billy" Meier disappeared on his motorbike into a forest near his village. He returned with several clear photographs of a large, silvery disk hovering in the sky. Over the next five years Meier produced hundreds of bright, detailed photographs. He also recorded the sounds of "beamships," collected several metal samples, and made films of the ship in flight.

Dozens of witnesses have seen the beamships and corroborated Meier's fantastic story. His evidence, investigated by a professional security team headed by a retired U.S. Air Force colonel, has been examined by scientists at IBM, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Arizona State University, and the Mc Donnell Douglas aeronautics company.

For the past three years Gary Kinder, author of the highly acclaimed Victim: The Other Side of Murder, has investigated the Meier story. Here, in a thoroughly compelling narrative, Kinder presents all sides of this controversial case- the most remarkable, well-documented UFO story in history.

This book was great! I have already read it and glad I did. This book informed me of some points and things I was not aware of, also takes a peek inside of Billy and I learned a few personal things about him that I wasn't aware of! I really enjoyed the opportunity to read this book, just wish there was more out there! I'll keep searching!

A MUST RED BOOK ABOUT THE CONTACT OF BILLY MEIER WITH PLEJARENS HUMAN EXTRATERRESRIAL HUAM RACE .
