Here's another mystery regarding the supposed UFO contacts with Eduard Meier,
detailed in Gary Kinder's new book Light Years.  According to the text, Meier
"is a man with his left arm severed just above the elbow."  However, the last
photo included in the book shows Meier with his right arm severed above the
elbow.  In an earlier photo, it is clear that Meier has a right arm and his
left coat sleeve appears empty.  A third photo shows Meier and part of his
right arm including a portion of his right elbow.  I think we first need to
identify Meier before we take on the objects.

   The only known glass plate negative of Billy the Kid is often printed
reversed, so that his pistol is on the left.  That has sponsored myths and
movies like Paul Newman's "The Left Handed Gun."  But if you look closely, you
can tell that Billy was right handed, because in the left-gun picture, his
buttons are on the left side of his jacket.


   So anyway, one of the photos of Kinder must be reversed.  Look at hisbuttons.

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, it seems to be a plate reversal.  I just figured
they'd be more careful in a book that relies heavily on photographic evidence.

Hi Joel....

The only mystery about the Billy Meier affair, as far as I'm concerned, is how
this book got published in the first place. But for the record, it is his left
arm that's severed.

Welcome to section 10.
