About

UFO...Contact from the Pleiades 

This documentary by Brit Elders explores the case of UFO experiencer Eduard Billy Meier, who claims to have had extensive conversations with beings from the Pleiades star system in the 1970s. Meier documented these conversations in journals, captured hundreds of photographs and videos of UFOs he called "beamships," and was given metal samples that scientists could not duplicate. Originally filmed in 1982 in Switzerland, Scotland, and the United States, the audio and color were digitally restored in 2024. This film takes the viewer back to a time before home computers, digital photography, and easily accessible photo enhancement programs. 

Featured investigators include Brit Elders, Lee Elders, Col. Wendelle Stevens, and Tom Welch, with narration by David Warner. Despite skepticism, the team concluded that Meier's case couldn't be a hoax due to its complexity and convincing evidence. This documentary remains a significant piece of UFO history, offering compelling evidence of alleged extraterrestrial contact.
