that the ship would simply blink out as it entered these null-time canals, and seemingly blink back in when it reentered. The canals only exist within a galaxy, limiting the distance of the jumps, for there is a field of energy that forms around a galaxy that is used to facilitate this process, and this doesn't work in free space between galaxies. This means that unlike a Beamship, which has to move 94 million miles out into space before moving into hyperspace, this new craft can simply dematerialize and move itself into these canals and "jump" to where it wants to go, a much faster process that appears almost magical. This new process was just being learned by the Pleiadians, who understood very little about it, but could at least build and operate the drive systems that had been designed for them by the Timers. The technology had been used to build a very large Mothership, but this was the first time it had been tried in a smaller vehicle. The test ship appears in the photos taken by Billy to be smaller than the normal Beamship. From my knowledge of the surroundings where the photos were taken, I would estimate that the ship was only about 12 to 15 feet in diameter. Billy only saw the ship on one occasion, but was allowed to take photos and a movie film of this experimental ship in 1981. This was the last time he ever saw the wedding cake ship, and these were the last photos taken of any Pleiadian craft.
