Hello Indigo.
You recently said that you have examples of me, and the IIG, lying about the Meier case. This thread has gotten rather convoluted. Can you please specifically state what you believe I have lied about?
Thank you.

RE: Marcel Vogel. I have not misrepresented his claim. In four different sources (three books and one movie) it is stated that he used a scanning electron microscope to identify thulium in the Billy Meier metal sample. Just because a later film says something differently is not relevant. The original sources all said the same thing. Consider this, perhaps the later film falsely claimed that he used spectrometry because they later realized it was scientifically impossible to determine the composition of an object using magnification.

Again recall the original investigators searched costume and clothes suppliers, stores and for fabrics which would appear and behave as the same, and they found nothing.

They must have not searched too hard, all they would need to do is go to a store selling Christmas items and pick up some gold foil wrapping paper. Easy as that. No need for space blankets or gold leaf or anything else exotic.
Oh, and while they're at it they can pick up some ball ornaments to glue to the "wedding cake" model also.
They could also pick up some cardboard boxes, or perhaps use the ones the ornaments came in to make the raygun , glue it to a empty paper towel roll, cover the thing in the dull side of some aluminum foil, attach some random brightly colored plastic to it, and there you go.
Of course I also love how he has no video of him shooting it! One would think that might make for pretty good proof considering it would be very tough to fake that, especially in the 70's -80's.
Think about it, if you were going to hoax a "raygun" (forget this is a science fiction concept for now) you would not just go buy a toy gun and take pictures of that, as it would be too easily identified.
LOL@Billy Meier !
It's hoaxers and fakes like this that make people who are actually *serious* about Ufology look like loons in the eyes of the rest of the world, and a darn good reason why it will never get taken seriously. Fools like Meier (the prophet, LOL) need to just go away and never return.

Why do people simply discount the onsite investigation that went on for nearly six years and found no evidence of either a hoax or how it could be performed?
Are your powers of observation from your computer vastly superior to all the people originally involved who had access to the original material and were actually there?

Even if the they are models, it doesn't take very long to determine that they are not spray painted.

The problem with the billy meier story is nothing is conclusive.
So maybe aliens make guns that look like cheap plastic kids toys and wear tin foil hats but where is the real evidence.
Where is the video of the ray gun shooting a hole through a tree?
After all the videos of beamships you would of thought he would video the ray gun or did they not allow it?
What about a picture of meier standing next to one of these craft so we could get a real perspective of the size of these things? Let me guess they wouldnt allow it.
If i took a stealth fighter back 100 years do you think they could associate it with anything they had?
Yet the ray gun looks like a kids toy, the suit looks like foil, the "wedding cake ufo" looks like a trash can with some balls stuck on the side with a lick of spray paint.
They have evolved to look exactly like us and yet have travelled from another solar system to reach us.
Last point, i am a believer in the UFO subject but this story is too hard to swallow.

The Wedding cake beamship has already been established is not a trashcan. This is shown in the picture where it is hovering in front of a van at close distance and the one where it is hovering in front of the tree and Meier is filming it from an extreme distance. As well as the night time shots of the ship flying over the car and tree.
Discussions were held with leaders in the field of research, including: optical science engineers, aeronautical engineers, computer programmers, laser specialists and photographic technicians and latest state-of-the-art equipment was reviewed and evaluated.
SNIP
Basically we started by examining the sample transparency or negative with a laserscope, the same way used to examine black and white negatives with microscopes to determine fakes before computer came along, and we made preliminary judgements about factors. Laser technology makes it possible for a skilled examiner to determine much before he ever goes to the computer. He can set up a grid, 10,000 lines per centimeter veritical and horizontal, and go back and forth scanning the whole picture. With the laserscope we can blow up even further to look at individual grains or color laminations in the film emulsion and make judgements particle by particle. Laser holography is then used to provide a 3-dimensional image from a 2-dimensional picture. And laser projection of the hologram is so fine that a 10th of a centimeter square can be blown up to many feet to view the grains and laminations in graphic 3-D. The finest suspension threads and expert retouching overlaps should stand out graphically. Homogenity of the grains and color layers can be studied carefully for deviations from norm.
SNIP
We still find no evidence of trickery in any of these photographs so enhanced. On the other hand, we find details revealed that tend more to establish the validity of the story told by the witness
Still another method referred to us by Ron Spanbauer of De Pere, Winsonsin was tried in judging the depth of field or distance of objects in the picture from the lens of the camera at the time photographs were made(SNIP) The Meier photographs from Switzerland analysed by this method were found to be consistent with the reported data, and with the photogrammetric and computer data generated
