I have long been amazed by the fact that no one has actually produced the ultimate hoax, in the form of an actual photo- graph of such an actual flying saucer. Every scientist in the world could study such a photograph and it would pass all the tests. So why do we always end up with very dubious evidence like Billy Meier's objects and the curiously lighted things photographed by Mr. Ed over his backyard in Gulf Breeze? The Meier photographs, when they are analyzed, are consistent with the behavior of small models suspended from strings, using essentially the same crude technology as the UMMO hoax. This has not seemed relevant to the thousands of believers who have turned Billy Meier into a New Age guru and who have visited him in Switzerland to seek his " When I discussed the various aspects of Pleiadian science, sociology, and philosophy with Wendelle Stevens I learned that the citizens of ERRA live under a very strict, militaristic organization ruled by definite moral standards: compared with their rigid code, Victorian England was a hotbed of permissiveness.

But Colonel Stevens did not think that was funny, and I had the feeling there wasn't much humor allowed in the august presence of the Pleiadians. A more detailed look at the life of Billy Meier shows a far more
