Hinwil and Billy Meier's Pleiadians

added1975

From 1975 the Swiss farmer Eduard Billy Meier produced hundreds of sharp colour photographs of Pleiadian beamships hanging over the hills of the canton of Zürich. Some of the models turned up at his house: discs made from dustbin lids and toy parts, hung on thread. His portrait of the Pleiadian Semjase was traced to a frame from Dean Martin Presents the Golddiggers — the woman is the dancer Michelle Della Fave. The dinosaurs he claimed to have photographed on a trip through time are copies of Zdeněk Burian's paintings from a book on Meier's own shelf.

Solway Firth and the Spaceman Behind the Girl

On 23 May 1964 the fireman Jim Templeton photographed his daughter Elizabeth on Burgh Marsh beside the Solway Firth. On the developed frame a white figure in something like a spacesuit stands behind the girl. Kodak confirmed the negative had not been tampered with, and for forty years the picture was offered as evidence. The explanation is in the frame itself: it is Templeton's wife in a pale blue dress, photographed from behind and heavily overexposed — she was standing there, and she is in the same spot on other shots from the roll. Templeton never accepted it, and died in 2011 still convinced.
