The Billy Meier “Hoax”
Exposed?

The Wedding Cake UFO Controversy

By

Michael Horn

There has been
almost no end to the attempted debunking of the photos of the so-called Wedding
Cake UFO (WCUFO) by what, frankly, can only be called inept, illogical skeptics.
Now I’m not being harsh on people just because they are critical of the case or
the evidence. I am being harsh on those people to whom much evidence has been
given, and of whom many important questions were asked, who have absolutely
failed to do their homework – but nonetheless continue to make completely
unsubstantiated attacks on Meier as a hoaxer.

For comparison
with Meier’s WCUFO photos that follow, here is the best effort of professional
model maker/photographer Jeff Ritzmann, a (formerly) very vocal critic of the
Meier case and the WCUFO photos and video in particular:

Ritzmann took
four months to produce this model, forever effectively debunking his own “cake
pan” theory, and has also failed to present his video version of the WCUFO craft
that he also boastfully promised…somewhere back in 2005.

Compare his model
to the detailed object photographed by Meier, first in nighttime
conditions:

As James
Deardorff (http://www.tjresearch.info/) pointed out
regarding the above photo, “Notice how out of focus that bush is in front of the WCUFO
and compare it with how much less out of focus the car is in its photo. But if
it were a model car, to make it appear so big, it would have to be a lot closer
to the camera than the bush is.”

And here are Deardorff’s candid
comments about the photo above, “The one that's been the hardest for me to
explain is the WC craft at night with the out-of-focus car in front of it. I
tend to assume that Billy had the diameter wrong -- it was the 14m craft, not
the 7m craft. Then it would be about twice as far away from the camera than the
car, and if the depth of field was narrow, as with a nighttime photo with nearly
wide-open lens, that might explain the WC craft being in good focus and the car
in very poor focus.”

I am the first to
admit that the WCUFO UFO is unusual to the point of extreme strangeness, and
that some of the nighttime photos of the craft look like it “must” be some kind
of a model, as many of the skeptics allege. And while the skeptics are quick to
scream, “model car, model tree, model UFO!” there are many problems with such
accusations that they have simply refused to address.

To begin with, here is an excerpt
from a recent email I received from Wendelle Stevens, the lead investigator in
the case, regarding one of the technological challenges of Meier – or anyone
else - making the WCUFO:

“I thought, if one was trying to make such
a model, it would take a master welder to get all those shiny balls in perfect
alignment, because they have to be welded "out of alignment" so that when they
cool the balls will be drawn into perfect alignment, and one would have to agree
that the alignment is flawless. Certainly, Meier with one arm and no other
equipment could not possibly have done the job. If there was another artisan
involved, sooner or later he will be identified and blow the story. In 30 some
years none has ever been identified.

It is true that that model is not my ideal
of a spacecraft, but that does not make it any less real.”

Now look at these very clear close-up
photos of the WCUFO UFO, taken during the daytime, where the ship is a distinct
silver color, as opposed to having a golden color at
night:

In the above series, we see several angles
of the WCUFO and progressively more of its structure, including the bottom or
underside of it. Please also notice that, had this been a model, the camera and
cameraman would have been visibly reflected in the metallic
balls.

Now here are two recent photos, taken with
a modern digital camera, at the same location but at a slightly different angle
and position:

The man in this photo is about 6’ tall.
Now look at the photo below where the box (which is about 30” long) is in the
foreground and sitting on top of another box:

I am not a professional photographer or
photographic expert but it certainly appears that the WCUFO is considerably
larger (higher, wider, longer) than the box and, even considering the slightly
upward angle of the WCUFO photos, closer in height to the size of the man/men in
the recent photos above. You can only imagine how well Ritzmann’s model would
look in any of these environments – because he failed to provide photos backing
up his assertions that he could duplicate Meier’s WCUFO photos and
video.

Here we see the WCUFO high up in front of
a tree:

This photo was taken from a little farther
away:

Then from some 300’ – 500’ feet away (as
seen in the video):

For anyone who rationally contemplates the
difficulties a one-armed man would face in actually making and suspending a 14’
diameter clearly metallic object, and in doing so completely unobserved – for
even one photograph – no further comments should even be
necessary. But since the skeptics have been so persistent in their accusations,
and so abysmally stupid as well, here are some of the questions that they
must credibly
answer about the model premise:

1. Where was the model made
and concealed?

2. Who in Meier’s area
possesses the specialized skills required for this precision level of
manufacture, at any size?

3. What is it made of?

4. Where were the materials
obtained?

5. What
was the cost of these materials?

6. Who paid for it?

7. How long did it take to
make? (Remember, a two-armed model maker took four months to assemble his
inferior model.)

8. What does it weigh,
assuming even a 5' diameter metallic object, as suggested by one
debunker?

9. How was it suspended at
30' by a one-armed man? (Setting up just one special effects shot with a 5' (let
alone 14’) object requires numerous people and lots of time. Meier took over 60
photos of the WCUFO, plus the video.)

10. Where is the model now,
what happened to it, would something of this complexity - and value - just
disappear?

11.
With all of the photos, both day and nighttime, how could Meier have
accomplished all of this unobserved and without
accomplices?

12.
Why hasn't ANYONE come forward to show that they made and/or now have
it?

All of these
questions, would have to be answered, not hypothetically, but with
substantiated, factually proven information. The pictures aren’t theoretical and
neither must the arguments against them be. And Wendelle’s statement above
regarding the necessity of a perfect, and enormously complex, welding job must
not only be answered but the object and the photos/video duplicated, using the
same technology – and using only one hand – something that no skeptic has been
able to do in the past 26 years!

In addition, the
skeptics and debunkers have either overlooked, or deliberately avoided, the
stunningly conclusive video that Meier took of one of the WCUFO UFOs. In this
broad daylight video, Meier himself is seen setting up a camera on a tripod in
front of the video camera that is running. In the distance, in front of a
full-sized (30’ – 40’) tree, we see the WCUFO craft hovering motionlessly. Then
Meier zooms in (we even hear the old-fashioned zoom on the early video camera)
some 300’ – 500’. (WCUFO 10. above is from the video and photos that Meier took
at that contact.)

There is
absolutely no way that Meier could have faked the video, or that the object
could be a model, as some of the brain dead skeptics would likely assert.

Please also note
that Meier took all of his UFO photos, films and video before
the availability of
home computers, PhotoShop, digital effects, etc.

Hopefully, some
common sense and clear thinking will now prevail so that people will focus on
the really
important content of the Meier case, such as:

http://www.gaiaguys.net/MEIER.PROPHECIES.1958.htm

Please read No. 6
in that document very carefully and consider that if the U.S. wishes to avoid
what is foretold in the Henoch Prophecies, “Far in the West, it will be
different; the United States of America will be a country of total destruction.
The cause for this will be manifold. With her global conflicts which are
continuously instigated by her and which will continue far into the future,
America is creating enormous hatred against her, worldwide, in many countries.
As a result, America will experience enormous catastrophes, which will reach
proportions barely imaginable to people of Earth. The destruction of the WTC,
i.e., the World Trade Center, by terrorists will only be the beginning…” then it
must withdraw
from Iraq and all other lands where it has military forces.

The Meier case is
about our future survival. And people, especially in the U.S., need to see
through the efforts of debunkers and skeptics who want to maintain the status
quo of blissful ignorance, if we are to have a chance of waking up in time to
what is otherwise coming our way.
