First, Jeff is, of course, entirely wrong about the UFO being a model "wired to the tree". Look, anybody can make wild claims like that, for the umpteenth hundreth time...duplicate the damn thing! Go outside, wire a 14' UFO "model" to a tree, zoom in from 300+ on it and show us.

You gotta admit, the guy's got a point. Is it possible, yes, but one has to use their common sense and admit that it would have made it increasingly more difficult. Think about camera, film, and effects technology when these pictures were taken/made. I've always thought there was something real going on here.
On a side note, most have ridiculed the tin foil outfit and the laser gun, but how do we know that where they come from their stuff doesn't look like that. We're basing our opinions on Earth fashion trends and weapon design. Maybe they didn't evolve in the same way we did as far as those things go. Maybe the things that they create are made more for the purpose of function and not appearance. Who knows, maybe those outfits are all the rage where they come from. I think this should be taken in to account by everybody.
There is still the question of the five-finger seven-finger handprint though.
Peace
The third of the global effects is a predicted partial destruction of the layer of ozone that surrounds the entire earth in the stratosphere. A nuclear fireball, by burning nitrogen in the air, produces large quantities of oxides of nitrogen. These are carried by the heat of the blast into the stratosphere, where, through a series of chemical reactions, they bring about a depletion of the ozone layer. Such a depletion may persist for years. The 1975 N.A.S. report has estimated that in a holocaust in which ten thousand megatons were detonated in the Northern Hemisphere the reduction of ozone in this hemisphere could be as high as seventy per cent and in the Southern Hemisphere as high as forty per cent, and that it could take as long as thirty years for the ozone level to return to normal
Data from the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft suggested that a ring system around the giant planet Jupiter existed; this was confirmed by the Voyager flybys.

The Meier camp has presented prophecies, photos, videos, sound recordings, alleged physical evidence (such as metal, the ray gun hole, fingerprints, etc.). So, they've presented their evidence, and in many cases have found scientists willing to risk their rep on supporting it.

Flamed, not at all.
...try googling "Rangely oil well earthquake" or something for the old reference.
Scientists published information and findings on exactly this phenomenon in 1972 Earthquake-oilwell connection
Does the fact that it was correct info told to Meier at a time when he would have no other access to it - nor any reason to be attmepting to get such - not figure in the credibility equation? And when I was researching all of that a few years ago that info wasn't coming up for me on the internet...it may not even have been there then.

MH: Sorry, Meier was first told about the actual extensive damage from A-bomb testing in about 1956, then again in 1975... And the 1975 report that you refer to here, without such percentages mentioned, again wouldn't have been available to Meier. Please prove otherwise.

On the "prediction" of a ring system for Jupiter.

MH: There was more than the ring system, which, while suspected, was CONFIRMED five months after Meier described it. Even more importantly, the info on Io being the most volcanically active body in the solar system wasn't confirmed until March 12, 1979, well after Meier had already published it. And NASA said that was the MOST IMPORTANT info from the mission. Another "lucky guess" by Meier?

I also have a link to a site showing that the effect of Bromine on the ozone was well known prior to Meier's "prophecy." For some reason the site won't load right now. I encourage others to google "bromine ozone" and maybe include a year in the query that is before the year Meier originally (supposedly) predicted it.
MH: Again, Meier's info also pertained to specific consequences from the ozone damage, all reported well after he was first told about them. More importantly and also again...he had NO access to such information and no reason to even be looking for it. Please show otherwise.
Originally posted by 8Michael12And you're being very selective in your criticism, what about all of the other events and information, if you haven't found proof that Meier preempted in his publication of it, what is that telling you? An example, the info re the magma chambers under Vesuvius.
Another example, the 236 confirmed UFO radar sightings above Meier' land by the Swiss military...who set up installations there because of what...birds flying around? That was from teh SWISS MILITARY. If a comparable thing happened here we'd be all over it, at least for a day until the idiots went back watching "reality" TV.

Lastly, I know it was posted here before, but I can't keep myself from putting it up again:
www.iigwest.com...
This Ike person has pinpointed a few instances where Meier's prophecies preceded (by only a few weeks) stories in well-read periodicals about many things he predicted. ...The most interesting part is that the press, as is common, made mistakes in their reporting. Even more interesting is that Meier made precisely the same mistakes. Coincidence?
MH: You really don't get it re the Jupiter info. It was NOT available to Meier when he published it in 1978 - since it wasn't discovered until 1979...and absolutely NOWHERE does Ike specify WHAT publications in WHAT languages were PROVEN to be available to Meier...four days before Stevens took the information - including the ten specific predictions you haven't mentioned and returned to the U.S. with them. Really, where are the thinking skills and the ability to thoroughly, comprehensively consider an enormous body of diverse information - THAT NO ONE HERE, RIGHT HERE, EVEN KNEW SQUAT ABOUT AT THE TIME - and six categories of still irreproducible physical evidence?

The huge volume of writings by Meier and others on this entire situation makes at-home spare time investigation of this matter extremely difficult and time consuming. Because of this, I haven't looked much further into it. Like I said, I have satisfied myself as to the veracity of the story. At least I looked into it with some effort.
MH: If you are satisfied after that paltry effort than it's probably best to not even look further, really. What on earth do you think would happen if you start to have reasonable doubt about your quickly drawn conclusions and begin to see something that was formulated and effected, over the past 63 years, by people who were not only light years beyond you in intelligence but have done their best to not blow our brains out of our poor, overly self-impressed little ego-inflated minds?

I have found other reasons for disbelief that I have not stated here. To me, one example of a prophecy being even somewhat suspect is enough reason to dismiss the entire thing as a hoax. This may seem a high standard, and I'd agree that it is. It could be too high, that is, it could lead to something that is real being proclaimed a hoax. I say that such is life. Even a hoaxer can make millions of dollars from the kinds of "believers" that provide the numbers of hits to a site that Horn has bragged about here. The problem is that it is too easy to create and maintain any hoax unless this kind of high "one strike your out" standard is applied.
Hopefully I won't get flamed by Horn for disagreeing.
MH: As I said, not inflamed at all, just depressed by the crop of shallow "thinkers" and their quick, glibly drawn and uninformed comclsuions. Don't I wish there was millions of dollars to be made from people reading a ton of free articles that I've posted! Oh the (presumably) American mind and its stupid obsession with the money motive. Hey, not everybody has the same shallow, stupid, valueless values that we do.
Here's the deal as far as I'm concerned. I've visited with Meier, several of the other photographers, witnesses, etc. over the past five years. I've tried to trip him up with trick questions. I've watched, listened, asked and learned. And it's painfully obvious that what passes for thinking, intellectual honesty and integrity HERE is a pathetic joke, probably part of the reason that, since at least 1981 (if not back in the 1950s) the ETs were already describing the "devastation, destruction and annihilation" that (unless we DO something about it) awaits this country, largely due to the foreign policies that have been in effect here for at least 60 years. And do you think that just one of the clever folks on this, or any of the other forums has invested a fraction of their admittedly small amount of "investigation" into the character, qualifications, policies, etc. of the parasitic bottom feeders that are the majority of leaders this government? I doubt it.

When Meier was told, in January, that the sad truth is that hman beings have learned nothing from about 30 years of published prophecies - due to a winning combination of arrogance and ignorance - the only word his ET friend used to describe the coming changes to our world was "apocalyptic".
So, my suggestion for the know it alls and the too lazy to learn anythings is this. Use the free resources available to research and think if you wish but please no more griping until you've duplicated all of the categories of Meier's physical evidence and until you've dragged your butts over to Switzerland to examine the fingerprints while they're still available. As I said before, there's NO excuse for your not doing so IF you really want to know for certain if the case is authentic.
That's it then, exalt ignorance or do the work.

I'm gone, six lectures to do, more radio and a time to refocus on correspondence from people who really care about their future and taking repsonsibility for their lives. Oh yeah, since this preson mentioned the problem with the prophecies, go read the Henoch Prophecies and Contact 251. See if you recognize any of the things that have already occurred since they were written and published. And see if you really are looking forward to the other ones occurring, especially in places like the U.S., UK, Europe, etc. And have a nice day. from here on, I'll only answer direct emails as time permits.
Talk amongst yourselves.
