Hi Cecil

If you already know about the Billy Meier extraterrestrial contact case and find that its actually genuine rather than fraudulent what is the reason for not promoting it more on this site since the information is so compelling?

It’s compelling to laughter.

**Moderator Action**

Cecil very rarely answers questions directly in this forum.

Also, I can find no reference anywhere to Cecil having an opinion one way or the other about Billy Meier.

Since there is no factual question here appropriate for this forum, and there’s already a Billy Meier thread running in Great Debates (which I see the OP is already heavily involved in), I see no reason for this thread to continue.

Those wishing to participate in the Great Debates thread may find it here:
