...Billy Meier had begun having unusual and anomalous experiences at the age of five, when he saw a 'large circular craft' fly over the local church. From about that time until the age of eight he heard voices in his head. Then a new voice took over and apparently acted as a guide -- "tutoring" him, according to Stevens. Which was perhaps just was well, for Billy Meier left school at the age of 12 to begin a life of odd-jobbing and oddity, which included car-racing, a short period in jail for thieving, a spell of service with the French Foreign Legion and a couple of years in an Indian ashram -- followed by employment in an Indian village as official snake catcher. He worked his way to Turkey, where he claimed to have acted as an informer for US drug-smuggling investigators and so paid his way back to Switzerland.

While at the ashram, Billy Meier had started to hear voices again. This time they were female and said they were from 'the Dal universe'. While in India he also saw 'spacecraft' once again and took photographs of them -- as he also did, apparently, of his female 'Dal' contact. These experiences with the Dals lasted some two years -- until, Billy Meier says, their mission to Earth was complete Then, until 1975, there was silence.

Swiss farmer Billy Meier's claim to have had over 130 meetings with cosmonauts from the Pleiades star cluster between 1975 and 1978 is perhaps the most elaborately documented case in the literature of ufology. For Billy Meier supported his story not only with a mass of photographs but with samples of metal allegedly given him by the Pleiadeans, with tape recording of their craft in flight and, according to Colonel Wendelle Stevens (who first investigated the affair), produced other witnesses to the remarkable events he described. All this evidence was, Stevens says, subjected to rigorous scientific testing -- and was passed as authentic. The results of Stevens's investigations were published in the United States in 1979 in a lavish book called "UFO...contact from the Pleiades".

Material that has surfaced since then, together with further revelations by the seemingly irrepressible Billy Meier, may lead one to wonder just what Billy Meier's purpose is in all this. For his story has now become so bizarre that even the most gullible devotee of the extra-terrestrial hypothesis ought to be feeling just the teeniest twinges of doubt...

The most startling of Billy Meier's later claims is to have been taken in one of the Pleiadean spacecraft (known as variation Type-4) on a journey through time. On this trip, says Billy Meier, he went back to the age of the dinosaurs and photographed them; he also visited Jesus Christ, who was so impressed with Billy Meier that he appointed him a disciple. Billy Meier says he returned to this day and age in order to avoid being crucified. He also claims to have visited other planets, to have photographed the link-up between the Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft as he flew by, and, most extravagant of all, to have taken a photograph of the eye of God. Billy Meier also was taken into the future by the Pleiadeans to see San Francisco come to a sticky end, sinking into the bay as the San Andreas fault at last produced its much-heralded catastrophe.

These tales have naturally attracted some laughter, and Billy Meier's responses to his critics have scarcely helped his case. When asked why he failed to photograph both eyes of God, for example, he replied that the other was closed: the Lord was winking at his companion (who was, needless to say, the shapely Pleiadean Semjase) Other "evidence" is so peculiar as to need no comment -- such as the photograph of a pterodactyl that shows a pyramid in the background!

The Pleiades, the star cluster that is the home of the space people with whom Billy Meier claims to meet so regularly... The haze of gas and dust indicates the comparative youth of the cluster, for as the group matures the interstellar matter will disperse. The few hundred stars of the cluster were born together a mere 60 million years ago -- by contrast with the 5000 million years of the Sun's existence to date. This time is too short to have permitted the formation of any planets or the appearance of indigenous life. According to Billy Meier, the space people migrated to the Pleiades from their original home in the constellation of Lyra. But how do they survive there? Is 'Erra', (in the system of 'Taygeta') their supposed home, an artificial planet constructed by the migrants? End of part 1
