Is every Meier pic a fake? That's a good question. About a decade ago some researchers suggested that Meier might have had genuine experiences in the
beginning but started fabricating material later on after his contact(s) has ended. Strangely enough, his best material seems to be his earliest work
and if I'm not mistaken most of the eyewitness accounts date from that earlier period.
Other posters here have made decent arguments. Once you get caught faking stuff, your credibility is out the window. Personally I'm convinced the
Meier case is for the large part a deliberate fraud. The weddingcake ship, 'alien females' photograph turning out to be actresses from a tv show,
'time travel dinosaur picture' turns out to come right from a book and so on. Needless to say there's ample evidence of fakery. Nonetheless I
reserve to right to be undecided on Billy Meier having some sort of encounter(s) in his entire life.
There are many accounts written in books of people having strange encounters with (supposedly) extraterrestrials. Humanoid ETs apparently looking very
similar to us are one segment of those encounters as well other 'types'. UFO history is full of 'contactees'. Once you get into these stories
it's like entering a maze, the center leads to the truth and the exits lead to denial. What makes it so strange is that elaborate contactee stories
have elements that can be convincing yet have other elements that seem totally bizarre, illogical or seem to bog down in metaphysical mumbo-jumbo.
Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that many contactees in the past have exaggerated, lied about their credentials or resumes or simply have been
caught faking material. From my perspective, some of the best alleged ET encounters are the most simple ones. Simplicity seems to have the most
survivability. There are little to none internal factors (people lying or fabricating) and external factors (other people-'ETs' inserting false
material).
Is every Meier pic a fake? Honestly I can't say for sure. I don't have much respect for the man, that's for sure.
