Billy Meier is a Swiss farmer who has claimed hundreds of physical and telepathic contacts with extraterrestrial beings he describes as originating from the Pleiades star cluster, beginning in 1975, producing an extensive body of photographs and alleged recorded evidence over subsequent decades.
Assessment
Independent photographic and physical-evidence analysts, including researchers who have examined his claimed spacecraft photographs, have identified strong indications of small suspended models and other staging techniques, and Meier’s case is broadly regarded within mainstream ufology, including by figures such as George Adamski researchers, as one of the field’s more thoroughly disputed contactee accounts, despite his continued substantial following.
