Subject: RE: Confirmed Existence of Extraterrestrials!?
To: Andrew Dilts <dilts.andrew.t@gmail.com>
So what ever happened to Michael Horn? About a decade or so ago he was flogging the Billy Meier story, until he was kind of ignored. Whatever happened to him?
Answer:
Dear Seth,
Andrew Dilts forwarded your inquiry to me, so thank you for the opportunity to respond. Actually, quite a bit has happened since last we were in touch regarding the Billy Meier UFO contacts and the evidence for them.
I noticed that you told Andrew that Billy Meier’s:
“films and photos are blatantly contrived.”
So, let’s first correct this blatantly inaccurate and defamatory claim. I’ve added emphasis to what US astronaut Gordon Cooper stated:
“I saw the pictures the day after the investigative team went to Switzerland. I know the investigative team very well. They came to my home to show me all their pictures. Very fine, very fine they were absolutely authentic. And yet the whole world is trying their best to make them out to be fake.”
Cooper was referring to Meier’s pre-digital era UFO photos like this:
…and others here, including these two taken from inside one of the UFOs:
As you should know, Cooper, like other astronauts, was also a photographer and, of course, quite familiar with spacecraft.
The singular authenticity of Meier’s evidence was first established by the experts who analyzed and authenticated it, decades ago during the original investigation, and by scientists from NASA, JPL, McDonnell Douglas, IBM, USGS, etc. As you can see, Matthew Wieczkiewicz, a NASA aerospace engineer, also supports Meier’s authenticity.
In their recent analyses, Francisco Villate (Rhal Zahi) and Chris Lock, used modern, state-of-the-art software and technologies, which were obviously not available to Meier. These analysts provided their protocols for other investigators to utilize. You received this information some time ago. Did anyone at SETI utilize these tools and technologies to analyze Meier’s evidence, or did they just choose to…ignore it?
- Since you disagree with Gordon Cooper’s opinion, and those of the other experts, please provide your analysis of Meier’s photos and films to substantiate your claims and show where they were wrong.
Means, Motive & Opportunity
Another high-level expert who disagrees with you is Joe Tysk, a former investigator/supervisor for the USAF OSI and Department of Defense. During his years in military intelligence, Tysk was tasked with protecting the security of the country and the lives of the hundreds of millions of people living here. As you can see in his analysis and authentication of Meier’s earliest evidence, he has a question for skeptics, such as yourself:
“Where did Billy Meier get a photo album with dozens of UFO photos back in 1964?”
A former skeptic of the Meier case himself, Tysk was referring to Meier’s photos from India, like this one below of a UFO that was witnessed by over 100 people:
- In fact, Meier had 80 UFO photos in that album, about a dozen of which still remain. So, Seth, where did he get them? And how did Meier know precisely when and where to go to take them, and the additional 1,100 photos, films and video, as well?
As the head of SETI, your statements represent the official position of an organization that purports to be qualified to make determinations regarding what constitutes evidence for extraterrestrial life and contact with it. So, how is it that having been in its self-assumed role for 37 years – and clearly on record as attacking the man and his evidence – SETI has never published your/their analyses of Meier’s evidence showing that he had the means, motive and opportunity (MMO) to hoax it, as Tysk said is required?
Maybe what you told Robert, in 2015 , explains it:
Dear Robert,
Thanks for the email. The SETI Institute doesn’t investigate UFO phenomena — it’s not our field of research. I might also note that the majority of people that I’ve talked to consider the Meier evidence to be faked. Certainly looks that way to me. And there’s an important point to be noted: We’ve learned nothing from it.
Cheers,
Seth Shostak
Such embarrassingly amateurish claims of the “it-looks-like-a-hoax-to-me” variety that you make on behalf of The SETI Institute don’t constitute analysis.
Peer Review?
You asked Andrew about a peer review for Meier’s evidence but who would his “peers” be? Are you one of Meier’s peers, qualified to pass judgment on his evidence and information…without analyzing it? What about Harvard Professor Avi Loeb, who only has a wild theory but no evidence to substantiate it?
Or the “scientists” who, as NASA scientist Jonathan K. Jiang proudly told me, peer-reviewed and approved his silly theory about extraterrestrial life having “annihilated itself.”…which Meier’s 1964 evidence falsified, as has all of his evidence since then?
The Language of Science
Another official utterance informs us that SETI expects communications with extraterrestrials “will come through the language of math”.
Why would SETI presumptuously project limitations on a race which, if it can traverse the vastness of space to contact us, should certainly be able to learn our languages here on earth?
In fact, the Plejaren extraterrestrials who’ve been in contact with Meier, for almost 80 years, have long been speaking to us…in the language of science. And in German to boot!
The Higher Standard of Proof
In addition to the ironclad physical evidence, the 45,000 pages of information in the Meier contacts are overflowing with this “higher standard of proof”, an elegant way of letting us know that we are indeed not alone in the universe…and that their intentions are demonstrably benevolent.
Provided to and published by Billy Meier long before “official discovery” are hundreds of specific examples of error-free scientific information about black holes, asteroids, comets, etc., as well as every planet in the solar system including Jupiter and Mars (which completely boggled the mind of NASA/USGS scientist Ken Herkenhoff, who specializes in imaging Mars).
Meier’s prophetically accurate environmental information establishes that he was the first person to foretell unnatural, manmade climate change, global warming, destruction of the ozone layer, etc. (See more here.) There is a good deal of legally admissible courtroom quality evidence contained therein.
As Joe Tysk asked about the UFO photos and films, by what means has Meier been able to provide hundreds of specific, error-free examples of prophetically accurate scientific information…if not from far more advanced beings?
Still Searching?
Seth, both you and Joe initially believed the Meier contacts must be a “hoax”. But Joe did what any true scientist should do, he analyzed the evidence. The facts superseded his beliefs, and what Joe concluded in eight months made it possible now for the average person to comprehend and corroborate in…10 minutes.
I’ll rhetorically ask, how many decades has SETI been “searching” for extraterrestrial intelligence? I suggest taking the 10 minutes to save you another 37 years.
The Reason
This brings us to the question never asked, or even considered:
“If the UFO contacts are actually real, what’s the…reason for them?”
The reason for the Meier contacts isn’t for us to chase lights-in-the-sky, nor to make polite conversation at cocktail parties. The real reason is to help us assure our future survival, which is now even far more threatened than when young Eduard Albert Meier, and his father, first saw a Plejaren spacecraft flying above their lovely, pastoral Swiss village, in 1942.
Based on arbitrary assumptions, SETI has concocted a sci-fi fantasy of how contact with extraterrestrials should occur and built their castle in the sky around it. Being clever enough to sell this bill of goods doesn’t negate the fact that contact is going on now, for almost 80 years, and SETI isn’t – nor will it ever be – part of it. Even if only for the reason that it attacked, defamed and disparaged the actual contactee, the person that the extraterrestrials chose to interact with them.
More paychecks at SETI, perhaps, contact…no.
- Now, please do the right thing:
1. Start by credibly answering Joe Tysk’s simple question:
“Where did Billy Meier get a photo album with dozens of UFO photos back in 1964?”
2. Then factually substantiate your accusations that Meier’s “films and photos are blatantly contrived” and credibly demonstrate why all the other experts who authenticated them are incorrect.
These quite reasonable requests aren’t rhetorical. Your responses will represent SETI’s official position…and integrity. As will any lack of responses.
Your Original Question
As for your original question about whatever happened to little ol’ me, in addition to recently discovering the never before seen, historically unprecedented 1981 photos of a UFO interacting with a (then top secret) US Stealth fighter at Groom Lake, Nevada:
I’ve spent the last 42 years researching and studying the most important true story in all of science and human history, presented by the man who’s lived it. All of the freely given information, knowledge and wisdom to help assure our future survival has been provided by Billy Meier and the generous and caring human beings who’ve taught, as well as learned from him for the past 79 years.
It’s led me to strive to learn more about life, love, the secrets of the universe and the laws of Creation.
I hope that your waiting for radio signals for an almost equal length of time has been even remotely as beneficial and enlightening since, according to SETI, it’s:
“The only way to find out is conducting experiments and looking for that signal.”
If not, consider watching some nice views of the Swiss countryside and an informative film on Amazon.
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Michael Horn
