The story as I know it is that he loaned a sample to Bill Moore, who simply never returned it. Course, Moore could be lying....but then, so could "Dr." Vogel. Bill actually showed me a small sample of metal once, which he claims was the Meier sample. He keeps it in one of those coin purses that opens like a mouth when you press on the sides.

There are photos in that book that are so obviously fakes, Dan, that I flat-out refuse to countenance any claims for authenticity. Call me pigheaded, but that shot of the Volvo hubcap with the Christmas ornaments hanging "over" the VW van (in reality held right in front of the camera in order to look larger) was a joke. I hope you're not referring to that. We've been down this road before, I know, but I couldn't let your comments go by without answer. You know I still have an open mind (which to me signifies not that I haven't come to a conclusion, but that my conclusion is subject to amendment at any time). If you want to continue a discussion about Meier, I'm all ears, and I've already learned a great deal from you (I accept your criticisms of KKK, for example). I hope, though, that you can present something more convincing than that "SOME of his photos haven't been found to be fakes."

I requested permission to post it here, but they wanted $50 and an indemnification agreement (for libel suits). I think that Wendelle Stevens deserves all of the blame for why that "Congress" got bad press, assuming that he made the decisions as to who the speakers would be. (Since he put up $61,000 for the conference, I would think this was the case.) The AP article said that he defended the credibility of *all* the speakers. The fact that the guy puts on a Loonie who calls herself "Omnec Onec" and who claims to be from the planet Venus is consistent with his recent effort to resurrect the George Adamski case. (He has a new book out on the infamous author of _Saucermen from Venus_.) I wonder where that guy gets all the money for spewing so much trash into the ufological data base. His new magazine _UFO Journal of Facts_ is obviously a very expensive thing to publish with the expensive, glossy, full-color format and many full-page photos. It must have cost a fortune to send out so many "free sample" issues to people like me. His pension as a retired USAF Col. must only be about 20k/year and his books usually are published at a rate of about 2000 per title. So where does all this money come from? The sale of "Beamship Trainee" bumper stickers and UFO yo-yos? Maybe we should have some "Space Cadet" propeller beanies on sale at the MUFON convention this summer :-) Anyway, the AP reporter found at least one guy there (Tim Petro) who considered the event "too far out", in spite of the fact that he had been to a number of UFO lectures before. When Stevens "loads the deck" with Jokers, he not only makes a farce of the conference but he makes the entire subject of ufology look utterly inane. I'm beginning to wonder if that isn't the point. -- John -- John Burke - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: John.Burke@f9.n1012.z9.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: John.Burke@f9.n1012.z9.FIDONET.ORG (John Burke) Subject: Meier, Stevens, Tucson And The Moon Date: 14 May 91 08:17:00 GMT * Forwarded from "ParaNet UFO" * Originally from John Burke * Originally dated 05-13-91 0:53 Dan Drasin writes: > As a professional photographer I can tell you without a > shadow of a > doubt that photos presented by Meier after 1980 were > contrived.

You didn't mention the 8mm movie footage, though. Dr. Bruce Maccabee wrote an article for the _IUR_ a couple of years ago, entitled "The Pendulum from the Pleaides". In this report of his examination of the movie footage of the saucer circling the tree, he demonstrated that the "UFO" was actually a pendulum on a string. He even demonstrated how long the string was. -- John -- John Burke - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: John.Burke@f9.n1012.z9.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Linda.Bird@paranet.FIDONET.ORG (Linda Bird) Subject: Re: Meier, Stevens, Tucson and the Moon Date: 14 May 91 06:20:00 GMT Dan, Thanks for taking time to answer my questions; now I'll answer one of yours.

I wonder how large a batch of film is at Polaroid? To be more specific, go to the store (which I will do) and look, are all the packages numbered from the same batch? No great trick to buy two or six film packs, one is doctored as necessary. Next go out with the witnesses, show them the sealed pack, note the numbers with their confirmation. Next when they go out of view, swap the doctored pack, and snap a picture of a UFO (the one that was prepared in advance of course). And the batch numbers match! Second, which I may or may not have mentioned, an overlay on top of the film, will make an image, just like a contact print. So the photographer has a positive of a UFO with clear background otherwise, slide it in front of the film, snap picture, out pops the film and the overlay, put it back in your pocket and see the nice composite shot. I have seen this at trade shows where they take my photo, lettering is superimposed, the resulting photo is placed on a badge. Not too difficult. One of the questions that stands out in my mind is how can one person, at will, go out and get a nice clear photo of a UFO, when for years people wait and try and get nothing or blurs? Terribly suspicious in my opinion. -- Pete Porro - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Pete.Porro@f414.n154.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Pete.Porro@f414.n154.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Pete Porro) Subject: Re: MISCELLANEOUS Date: 12 May 91 16:55:50 GMT I'll look for the book on Serios, thanks.

The first section of the segment dealt with the Travis Walton abduction and basically recanted the same stuff that we have thorough knowledge of. The second section dealt with the Alan Godfrey incident. I found this to be very interesting. I think it was Don Ecker that was asking about this one a while back. I would be interested in hearing more on this. The third one deals with a more contemporary case involving Salter and son. Has anyone any further knowledge of this one? Finally, my VCR puked.

Very good question, Jim. Problem is, different people have very different ideas about the meaning of 'new age,' "spiritual," etc. To many mainstreamers, for example, anything remotely ufological falls right smack dab in the middle of the new-age 'woo-woo' spectrum. Since everyone's perception is unique, it may not be such a bad thing for contexts to overlap. I think it's more important for people to be tolerant of, and to listen to, each other, than it is to create more compartmentalization and more walls, more judgements and more 'us-and-them' thinking. IMHO, we have enough of those already. If we aren't forced to recognize other contexts, we'll *never* achieve the critical mass of interdisciplinary, intercontextual communication that's a *minimum* requirement for solving the multidimensional UFO riddle. Some 'woo-woo' might be the price we have to pay for this, but the alternative would seem to be a situation that could set our understanding back many decades... and that is no doubt precisely what some people would like to have happen.

Wernikoff An important advance in experimental research on the circles effect has resulted from observations of the motion of vortices in a gas-filled chamber. The experiments concern the production of quintuplet circle sets by the impact of plasma vortices upon an anode. The experiments are conducted using Tesla-generated high voltage, low frequency currents in an inert mixture of neon and argon gas. At certain frequencies around 150 KHZ, plasma vortices form. The vortices are rendered luminous by the excitation of the neon-argon mixture. The anode is spherical in shape, approximately 40mm in diameter, and is fabricated of carbon-steel alloy sheathed in a ceramic insulating capsule. The vortices form spontaneously and glow brightly during their approach to the anode. Upon striking it each vortex gives rise to a regular set of five circles, the four satellite circles being located at equal distances in the four right angle directions from the primary circle. The experiment has been repeated many times. The first color photographs taken in October 1990 using ASA 3200 film suggest that the satellite circles are created at the moment of impact by the ejection of four subsidiary vortices from the primary one, but the exact sequence will not be known until the process has been filmed by a high speed video camera. Good photographs have subsequently been taken in monochrome at F1.2, 1/250, ASA 3200 pushed to ASA 12500. This work helps to confirm tjE@9I1J=9%i2=ICaP!=I%M5R|initiated by Dr. G. Terence Meaden for crop circle formation by natural vortex processes in the atmosphere, in combination with the theory of George Bathurst for quintuplet formation by satellite vortex ejection. Next, it is hoped to film the life cycle of the vortices using video film. (This article and photographs will be published in June 1991, in a post-conference book of papers entitled "Circles from the Sky". I welcome correspondence from interested parties) Sheldon L.

CLARK SHOW Date: 13 May 91 17:15:18 GMT I guess I'm overly sensative to criticism and labeling that arrives from some people in the guise of debate. I admit I am skeptical of many thing in science and life that don't have good supporting evidence. Some UFO and Paranormal claims are included. Seems that when I make a statement about why I believe what I do, the answer from a small portion is "Your another one of those debunkers aren't you!" Oh, shame, guilt, and whatever else is being heaped on me. I'd say "The facts, just the facts..." I have watched the ongoing debate over what is Evidence, what is extraordinary, what is reliable information. It's interesting, but leads to nothing. I am making a concious effort to no respond in the future, and therefore avoid conflicts and wasted space on this echo. I caught the special Sunday night on Discovery, "Is Anyone Out There?" and it removed one or two former beliefs from my collection. The Fox Sisters were one of the first cases of contact with the dead. The lady confessed that she did the clicking responses by clicking her toe joints. This is one of the foundation cases for spiritualism from 1947 I think. Some of the other mystery miracles had confessions with them, like the never dying flowers in the church. Biggest laugh for me was Uri Geller bending a spoon, and taking about how much money he had made. Finally got to see what Randi looks like, and Carl Sagan made a nice statement about what he believes, but still left it open for others to choose for themself. I appreciate that kind of acceptance and ability to let others have freedom of thought even if one disagrees with those thoughts. -- Pete Porro - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Pete.Porro@f414.n154.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Don.Ecker@f3.n1012.z9.FIDONET.ORG (Don Ecker) Subject: Dr. Marina Popovich Date: 13 May 91 23:32:00 GMT While attending Wendelle Stevens World Congress in Tucson, Az. this past week, I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Marina Popovich of the U.S.S.R. Dr. Popovich is a retired Soviet Colonel, she has a Ph.D in Flight Technology from Leningrad University. She might be the Russian version of our Chuck Yeager. Popovich set over 100 aviation records, which 90 still stand. Although divorced now, she was married to General Paval Popovich, a very famous Russian cosmonaut. Dr. Marina Popovich attended Stevens Congress, which in itself is almost unbelieveable. Just a couple of years ago this would be unheard of. I was able to interview her on Saturday and Sunday, and I extended an invation to Marina to attend the L.A. Expo West. She tried to attend, but could not change her flight plans. I also told her that if she would be interested, I knew some TV people here that would like to interview her and she agreed. On Thursday, although she could not stay, she did have a 5 hour layover in LA. I had contacted the producer I know at NBC's Hard Copy, and they ran a crew out to meet her. A fascinating interview that will air later this week. Keep your eyes open, some very interesting information on the Soviet Mars probes.

One can easily make statements about each of cases that the person in question has made a model to photograph but have heard nothing about more then one model. Ed Walters photographed 3 different crafts, where are these other models if we most let the skeptics have there way? And yes, Billy Meier, what a great artist he must be to be able to make 6 different models with only having one arm. I try to approach this hole thing on a logical basis and not on one single issue. As in a court case, one must seek a motive and what is the motive for Ed. It can't be money because Ed builds 30 to 40 custom homes a year and if you figure he makes just $5,000 per home? Fame!, not likely, he lost a lot of business and took a lot of abuse from this. So what is Ed's motive. What about the 40 witnesses that obsured the craft over the church when Jiles Hamilton was giving a lecture. Did Ed throw a 20 ft. model (type 2) a couple of thousand feet into the air and run into the church and notified everyone in the church that a UFO was over the church and then photographed it in front of everyone. Nah; not logical. What about the other witnesses that have claimed to seen this same craft that Ed photographed and one must ask why that in a lot of these cases a military craft was seen chasing the craft away. I have no doubt that Gulf Breeze is real and I'm trying to find out the motive of the persons flying these things and I think Ed can supply some of the answers. Now, if some of these people will get off of Ed's back and start searching for the answers, then maybe he will finish his 2nd book, so some of us can go on with our research. The Book!

Bruce just sent me a paper which pretty much leaves no doubt that Ed and quite a few others saw the same or very similar objects over a period of a couple of years, plus a report of a sighting of a similar object at St. Pete several years earlier. While there's still no absolute proof that Ed *photographed* those objects, such proof will probably never exist and in light of the supporting witnesses, it's no longer reasonable to doubt that Ed did indeed photograph those objects.
