Most ufologists branded Billy Meier and his UFO photos a hoax years ago - but the story just won't go away.

Meier is a native of Switzerland, born in 1937, who claims to be a UFO contactee - reporting regular contact with extraterrestrials who offer words of wisdom for our planet. He has produced stunning photography over the years of UFOs - crystal clear in fact - that most UFO researchers believe were staged with models.
Anthony Wharton, of St Helens, Merseyside, UK, has been hot on the trail of Meier and American media representative Michael Horn for five years - and was even challenged to show how the photos were hoaxed. In return, Wharton challenged Meier to back up his claims with physical evidence.

"I was challenged at the time to back up my claims," Wharton said, "and over the last five years I have successfully met every photographic challenge. At the beginning of my research, I also threw down the gauntlet and challenged the Meier camp to provide me with an extraterrestrial sample for independent scientific analysis to back up their own claims, and to date, the entire Meier camp has failed to meet my one and only challenge I ever set them."

Wharton was recently in touch with both Meier and Horn.
"I very recently spoke to Meier and Horn and asked them why in almost five years they had failed to meet my challenge? Their response was that they had put forward enough UFO physical evidence and to put forward any more would be pointless. They went on to speak about the metal alloy samples that they put forward in the 1970s, which were looked at by scientists at the time.

"In my response, I pointed out that Meier had not put forward a single scrap of new photographic evidence in well over 25 years - why not?
"I also reminded Meier and Horn that their metal alloy samples came back from the science laboratory with an official report that concluded that the samples were 100 percent terrestrial in origin, and could be very easily replicated by simply melting down some metal alloy and adding some glass, crystals and quartz.
"Basically the samples were of no use what so ever to either the UFO or scientific community."
Five year challenge milestone
Wharton decided to again show that Meier's photography can be easily staged. On a recent weekend, he used a model to produce the photos you see on this page.

"Surely now everyone in the UFO and scientific community must agree," Wharton said, "that in Billy Meier and Michael Horn’s ultimate failure to meet my challenge, the Billy Meier UFO case can now only ever be regarded as, at best, a work of fiction.
"Lets all not forget, Meier and Horn still claim that Meier is in constant contact with the Plejaran’s to this very day, so this challenge should literally be a walk in the park for them. What Michael Horn and Billy Meier fail to realize is, that by failing to meet my challenge, it is actually themselves who have proved that the Billy Meier UFO case is fake."
Here is a video of a Billy Meier that shows photo Meier produced in his travels throughout the galaxy - even going back in time.
