Billy Meier: The Controversial Contactee
In 1942, five-year-old Eduard Albert Meier — later known as “Billy” Meier — wandered far from the bucolic farms and sweeping countryside of the Swiss town of Bülach, and deep into the woods. Here he came upon an elderly-looking gentleman named Sfath, who was standing in the dense forest wearing garb that resembled a deep-sea diving suit without the helmet.
Despite the man’s odd appearance, the little boy did not fear him, and the two struck up a conversation — telepathically. This was to be the first of what Meier claimed to have been lifelong interactions with beings from other planets.
Now an icon in the UFO community, Meier has gained a loyal following of those who readily accept his claim that he is the seventh world prophet, in the footsteps of Enoch, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jesus, and Mohammed, heralding the coming of World Wars, intergalactic discoveries, environmental disasters, and more.
Vehemently condemned by skeptics, yet worshipped by those who’ve taken to heart his many encounters of the fifth kind, and thousands of published documents, Meier has garnered the attention of a global audience.
Billy Meier: A Peculiar Young Man
Meier was born to an ordinary family with loving parents who raised him and his siblings in a quaint village previously unknown for anything extraordinary. As a small boy, like other children, he would play in the nearby woods, where his otherworldly relationship with Sfath would strengthen and last for eleven years. According to Meier, the two would hold conversations either outside, or with numerous other individuals on Sfath’s spacecraft.
Sfath became Meier’s first teacher and the one who would lead him to countless interactions with other alien beings. Meier claims to have traveled the world over on Sfath’s spacecraft, meeting various earthly leaders with whom Sfath was acquainted, including the venerable Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
While Meier has explained that he was able to speak to extraterrestrials via telepathy, Sfath nevertheless gave the boy a small translation device that could be clipped onto his clothing as another option.
In an attempt to make sense of the turn his life had taken, the young Meier confided in his parish priest, explaining his experiences with Sfath and telepathic communication. Amazingly, the priest had similar experiences with telepathy and was able to listen and support Meier, reassuring him that he should not be afraid.
Meier was said to have mentally aged at such a rate that he had the maturity of a 35-year-old man when he was only seven. His journeys with Sfath took him through not only space but the expanse of time in which he saw himself in previous lifetimes and beheld the future of the world.
Meier asserts that he became aware he was put on the Earth to assist mankind in its development of consciousness, and he began writing down what he was learning, creating works on meditation and moral codes of conduct, detailing the principles by which humans should live their lives. At the age of 14, he published an open letter forewarning of wars and numerous disasters that would befall the planet if wiser measures were not taken.
As a result of his travels and perceivably odd preoccupations, Meier distanced himself from other children, and soon became a target for bullies. Eventually, tensions escalated to a fever pitch, and when a woman slapped him with a wet towel, Meier returned the blow — an offense that landed him in a youth prison at age 14.

Upon his release, he joined the French Foreign Legion and soon after learned that doing so was a misstep. Realizing his error in judgment, Meier claims he escaped and set out on foot on a long journey across mountains and deserts, through numerous countries. Eventually finding himself in the Middle East, Meier said he took up the unusual vocation of pursuing serial killers and mass murderers to bring them to justice. And despite his moniker “The Phantom,” he became the subject of 21 failed assassination attempts.
Despite his wanderings, Meier continued to have contact with various extraterrestrials, who communicated messages to him about the future of the human race, and how religious extremism is bound to damage the world. Based on the inside information he was given, Meier became a prolific writer, documenting more than 24,000 transmissions that have now been published, primarily in German.
Billy Meier’s Credibility
Among the thousands of transmissions that Meier documented from his conversations with extraterrestrials, and his experiences with time and space travel, are myriad prophecies — some that have arguably come to fruition, some that are said to have not yet come to pass, and others that have been proven to be completely erroneous.
Some of Meier’s claims involved not-yet-discovered facts about the solar system, including a description of Amalthea, the closest moon to Jupiter, which he claimed was 200km in length. While unfortunately incorrect, a 1979 article in the New York Times also came to the same wrong conclusion about Amalthea. Meier also asserted that another Jupiter moon, known as Io, had once been covered with water, which was also later proven to be incorrect. Â
Billy Meier’s credibility fell further upon the discovery that thousands of photos he’d taken in the 1970s proved to be fabrications. These photos featured purported spacecraft, referred to as “Beamships,” flying over the countryside. Over the years, the validity of these pictures has been dismissed for myriad reasons, including that the spacecraft was perfectly focused and centered within the frame. Upon close inspection, numerous photos were also found to contain household items, passing for pieces of the ships, such as eye-screws that suspended the models in the air, or even cups, bowls, and paper plates that made up the bodies of the crafts.
Despite the predictions, photographs, and false claims, Meier somehow retained many followers due to several larger, accurate claims. He foretold of the two wars the United States would carry out in Iraq, as well as the dire effects of climate change and overpopulation. He is believed to have warned of the AIDS epidemic that swept over the world, SARS, and the rapid outbreak of terrorism in the 21st century.
Billy Meier’s grave predictions continue to hit closer to home as humankind inches closer to the disaster at the hands of global warming, nuclear warfare, unchecked ecological damage, and overpopulation that taxes resources the world over. Among his darker predictions, Meier has warned of World War III, which would result from the United States’ interference with the interests of other countries. This interference, he insists, will eliminate three-quarters of the world’s population, devastating all major cities in North America.
Billy Meier remains one of the enigmas of the UFO world community. While his claims strain credulity, his message continues to hit home and spark interest among those who believe in extraterrestrials as well as the possibility of imminent global destruction by way of humankind’s negligence, greed, and detachment from the natural world. Whether or not Billy Meier’s unusual life story and strange prophecies are deemed far-fetched — or believable — he has steadfastly clung to his mission, which is undeniably positive: to direct humanity to a path of peace, love, and truth.

Nordic Aliens: What We Know About These Extraterrestrials
Ancient civilizations around the world have spoken of angelic beings that descended from the sky, sent by God to assist humanity by sharing their spiritual and emotional wisdom with Earthlings. These mythological entities appear to continue their mission to this day, and many believe they are emissaries from outer space, an extraterrestrial species known as the Nordic or Pleiadian race.
What Are Nordic Aliens?
The Nordics are an ancient alien species that have been reported in contact with various civilizations throughout history. Many accounts suggest that they may have been interacting with early human societies, perhaps influencing ancient cultures under the guise of gods or advanced beings. Descriptions often portray them as tall, fair-skinned beings with blond hair and blue or green eyes – similar to the physical characteristics of the historical Nordic race – radiating wisdom and serenity.
Initially, Nordic Aliens identified themselves as being from Venus and later from the Pleiades star cluster, particularly the planet Erra. However, their true origin remains a subject of debate, and they may prefer to keep their true home a secret for security reasons. Many regard the Nordics as benevolent guides, part of a greater Galactic Federation working to support humanity’s awakening and evolution.
Mythology and History
Nordic aliens, also known as Tall Whites, Pleiadians, Venusians, and Space Brothers, are often regarded as angelic beings who have appeared in humanity’s stories since ancient times. Many believe these luminous visitors were revered as gods, teachers, or messengers of light, guiding early civilizations and shaping spiritual traditions around the world.Â
Their influence is said to echo through ancient myths, sacred texts, and folklore that describe radiant beings descending from the heavens to share wisdom and technology with humankind, such as the following:Â
- Some researchers suggest these extraterrestrial beings may have visited ancient Mesopotamia, influencing Sumerian culture with their advanced knowledge.
- Ancient Egypt’s advanced astronomical and engineering skills, along with depictions of tall, fair-skinned beings, hint at possible Nordic alien influence.
- Ancient Greek mythology’s descriptions of gods and demigods resemble the physical traits attributed to these beings, further suggesting early encounters.
- Viking folklore and Norse mythology describe gods with characteristics akin to those of Nordic aliens, suggesting visits to ancient Scandinavia.
- Indigenous cultures in the Americas, such as the Hopi tribe, have prophecies of “True White Brothers,” while Mesoamerican legends speak of white-skinned gods.
- Ancient Indian texts describe fair-skinned deities and advanced flying machines, potentially linked to Nordic aliens.
Across modern accounts and popular culture, Nordic aliens continue to be seen as benevolent forces connected to spiritual awakening and the evolution of human consciousness.
Common Nordic Aliens
Nordic aliens are often described in various ways based on their appearances and the traits attributed to them.Â
Here are some commonly mentioned types:
Hopi
The Hopi people, an indigenous group in North America, have legends about various star beings or ancestors. Some interpretations suggest that these beings were tall and fair-skinned, similar to the Nordic archetype. These peaceful entities are believed to be the True White Brothers, foretold in Hopi prophecy, signaling the end of the fourth age.
Vril Society
The Vril Society is a controversial and often debated topic in ufology and occult circles. This secret society, reportedly active in the early 20th century in Germany, was said to be interested in advanced technology and hidden knowledge. While generally seen as a benevolent species, there’s a chance the Nordics influenced the Vril Society. Some factions might have deviated from the path of light, aligning with malevolent entities opposing the human race.
Agarthans
Agartha is a mythical realm said to exist within the Earth’s hollow interior. In this context, Agarthan Nordics are described as residing in this hidden world and possessing advanced technology and knowledge. They are often portrayed as having tall stature and fair features.
Pleiadians
Pleiadian Nordics are among the most well-known in contemporary UFO and New Age literature. They are said to come from the Pleiades star cluster, which is a group of stars located about 400 light-years from Earth.Â
Descriptions of Pleiadian Nordics typically include tall, attractive humanoid aliens with blonde hair and blue eyes who are benevolent and advanced. They are often described as being involved in guiding humanity, offering spiritual guidance, or even intervening in global issues to help prevent disasters or promote peace.
Venusians
Venusian Nordics are claimed to come from Venus, one of Earth’s neighboring planets. This type of Nordic is often depicted similarly to other Nordics but with some slight differences in their physical appearance or technology, reflecting their planetary origin. Reports of Venusian Nordics often focus on their advanced knowledge and technology, as well as their interest in interacting with or guiding humanity when visiting Earth.
Each of these types reflects the varied ways in which different cultures and speculative traditions interpret the concept of Nordic aliens.
Characteristics of Nordic Aliens
Nordic alien descriptions can differ, but the following points provide a consistent overview of their characteristics.
Physical Appearance
Nordics are perhaps the most human-like in appearance of all the different types of aliens and closely resemble people of Scandinavian or Aryan descent. They tend to have reddish to blond hair and green or blue eyes, and stand anywhere from 5 to 7 feet tall. Some claim that Nordics lack irises and wear contact lenses to blend in when visiting our planet. Many also claim that these beings lack a sense of smell. Nordics are also claimed to be fourth- and fifth-density beings.
These descriptions are commonly associated with flying saucers, UFO sightings, and abduction phenomena within European nations such as Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.
They can easily pass as Earthlings, and those who have been in contact with this alien race state that their appearance allows them to freely explore our planet.
Modes of Transportation
Nordics are generally observers, sometimes viewing events and contactees from within their spacecraft, which range from spherical to cigar-shaped.
Their spaceships are often described as radiant and silent, capable of moving through the sky with no visible propulsion or sound. Witnesses report that these craft can appear and disappear suddenly, as though shifting between dimensions rather than traveling through ordinary space. Some contactees claim that the ships are powered by light or thought itself, allowing them to move instantly across vast distances.
Reports suggest that Nordic technology is both advanced and harmonious, blending energy, matter, and consciousness. The interiors of their vessels are often said to glow softly, with no visible controls, as if the ships respond directly to the intentions of their occupants.
Communication Methods
As part of the Galactic Federation, Nordics generally maintain a distance from humanity, often communicating telepathically or through dreams. However, some Nordics have been known to actively intervene in human affairs, influencing events and guiding individuals in more direct ways.
Those who claim contact describe the experience as deeply emotional and clear, with thoughts and feelings exchanged instantly. Telepathic messages from Nordics are said to carry both information and a strong sense of calm or compassion, as though the communication occurs on multiple levels of consciousness.
In addition to direct telepathy, the Nordics are said to reach out through dreams, symbols, and intuitive insight. Many experiencers report sudden moments of inspiration or understanding that feel as if knowledge has been “remembered” rather than taught. When these star people do communicate verbally, their speech is often described as melodic and resonant, leaving listeners with a sense of peace and expanded awareness.
What Are Nordic Aliens’ Intentions on Earth?
Many contactees have reported receiving channeled messages of peace and love from Nordics, with much of the available information about these beings coming through such communications. Nordics are benevolent beings who are deeply concerned with the spiritual evolution of humanity, and often emphasize that while humans are at a less advanced stage of development, we are closely related to them.Â
This concern has led some Nordics to more directly influence human affairs, guiding and assisting us as we progress.
Notable Abductees
Nordics are less frequently associated with alien abduction experiences, and when involved in such episodes, there is generally a message of peace and concern relating to the Earth’s well-being.
Travis Walton
One of the most notable and intriguing cases of Nordic abduction that occurred in North America was the Travis Walton case.
Walton was working as a logger in Arizona when he came across a hovering alien craft with his lumber crew and was knocked unconscious by a beam of light emanating from the object.
He was taken aboard, where he encountered several types of beings, including a Nordic-like race of tall, white humanoids. The craft released him after five days, and the subsequent story became a news sensation. Walton shared his experiences in his book The Walton Experience, which became the basis for the 1993 film Fire in the Sky.
Billy Meier
Another notable contactee includes Billy Meier, a Swedish farmer who claims to have been in contact with the Plejarans, a Nordic extraterrestrial race. Throughout his life, he has photographed, filmed, and been in contact with these beings, delivering their messages of peace and love to humanity.
George Adamski
George Adamski was another early Nordic contactee of the 1950s and claimed to be in contact with a group of Nordic aliens from Venus. He wrote several books on the subject and said that his materials were cleared by the FBI and the United States government.
President Eisenhower
It is also rumored that President Eisenhower had a secret meeting with a group of Nordic extraterrestrials who were attempting to convince the United States to disarm its nuclear missile program in exchange for advanced technology. The event is said to have taken place in February 1954 at Edwards Air Force Base under the guise of Eisenhower undergoing emergency dental surgery. It is believed that this meeting did not end with any sort of agreement.
Instead, Eisenhower is thought to have entered into a treaty with the Grey aliens, a pact ensuring that the United States could keep its nuclear arsenal while still receiving advanced technologies from the ETs. In exchange for this technological intel, the Greys would be allowed to abduct and experiment upon the American people without question.
Harmony and Stewardship
The message that seems to follow each encounter with the Nordic species is the importance of spiritual awareness and the stewardship of our planet. According to the Nordics, humans are a closely related species, and the human ascension process involves learning how to overcome our differences to live as one in harmony. Do you think humanity is close to realizing our collective ascension, or do you feel that extraterrestrial intervention is a necessary step in our evolution? Or is this all an intriguing hoax? You decide.
