Description:For over a decade the most thorough investigation in the history of the UFO phenomenon has been centered around a Swiss farmer, his claims of extraterrestrial contacts and the physical documentation that supports his statements. Extensive research has been unable to detect any form of trickery or manipulation of the hard evidence supplied by the extraterrestrial visitors . . .Proving or disproving is no longer an issue; it is now time to move into a previously untouched arena . . . What can be learned from these amazing experiences?Certainly the possibility of an alien culture visiting Earth would allow for differing, sometimes opposing, perspectives of values and ideals we incorporated into our social structure. This is not indicative that either point of view is true or false hut, instead, presents information which helps us understand the beliefs, culture and history of a distant neighbor.After all, the strength of one's knowledge depends on the desire to discover.Eduard 'Billy' Meier was born February 3, 1937 in Bulach Switzerland. His first sighting of an extraterrestrial vehicle occurred at the age of five and developed first into telepathic communication and later into physical, face-to-face contacts.Eduard 'Billy' Meier is one of those unique individuals who, through his experiences has had the convictions of a strong, courageous belief. He has devoted his life to uplifting his consciousness and the consciousness of those who choose to seek. He is a gentle man who has often faced adverse reactions to his claims of extraterrestrial contact and the implications that bear on many earthly concepts of structural society.Today he owns a self-supporting farm in rural Switzerland and is surrounded by his family and close friends.From the German language originals collected by the Stevens-Elders-Welch team during their six year on-site investigation while events were happening Edited and annotated by W. C. Stevens Liberal reference has been made to Elders and Welch file notes, memoranda, and records of the tripsAfter now eleven years of investigation into this extensive UFO contact, case taking place in Switzerland, and years of testing of the physical evidence produced, such as UFO photographs, recorded sounds of the spacecraft, metal residue and ship's landing tracks; I have decided to publish more of the elaborate contact notes for your study and evaluation.These notes were never intended for public release, and they have much information of a very personal nature to certain of the individuals involved. Also they are very voluminous and could not possibly be squeezed into one book. Thus we have purged out parts of a personal nature, dialogue of lesser interest, and conversation not of general concern to all.
