Ohh for heavens sake, there are no aliens coming here from the Pleiades, why, because the star cluster is too young for any possible planet there to have formed life as the planets themself, if there are any, are still too warm maybe even still molten.
Yes, I know, science doesnt work on you people.
The Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is a conspicuous object in the night sky with a prominent place in ancient mythology. The cluster contains hundreds of stars, of which only a handful are commonly visible to the unaided eye. The stars in the Pleiades are thought to have formed together around 100 million years ago, making them 1/50th the age of our sun, and they lie some 130 parsecs (425 light years) away. From our perspective they appear in the constellation of Taurus, with approximate celestial coordinates of 3 hours 47 minutes right ascension and +24 degrees declination. For northern hemisphere viewers, the cluster is above and to the right of Orion the Hunter as one faces south, and it transits -- reaches its highest point in the sky, midway between rising and setting -- around 4am in September, midnight in November, and 8pm in January.
>I agree, far too young for life... IMO
There are many ancient civilizations that claim visitations by aliens from the Pleiadian Star Cluster.
>Interesting, but inconclusive, ancient cultures had loads of beliefs we think are rubbish today...
In our present time the most famous case history of ongoing alien contact centers around a Swiss farmer named Billy Meier. Meier claims to have been in on-going contact with aliens from the star cluster known as the Pleiades. He has taken over 1000 photographs of the aliens, their spacecraft, and locations where they have taken him, including the future.
Meier also claims to have video of their ships and rock and metal samples given to him by the aliens. Also as evidence he has shown the landing tracks that the alien spacecraft have left behind. Billy Meier's case represents the largest body of evidence to document the longest reported contact between humans and aliens.
Billy Meier's story has prompted a great deal of research into his claims, both by skeptics and those within the UFO community who expected to confirm his reports. What was discovered is that the Billy Meier story actually represents the biggest UFO hoax in history. Upon close examination it was discovered that not one of his alleged photographs were original prints, but all had been airbrushed or otherwise altered.
Models of some of the spacecraft seen in his photo's were found in his house. In one video of an alleged flying saucer, the spacecraft can clearly be seen to be swinging pendulum style as if it were suspended by a wire. The photograph of an alleged Pleiadian alien was discovered to be a photocopy of a model taken from a Sears Catalog. Under close scrutiny, all of Billy Meier's alleged evidence has been shown to be false.
Yet, Billy Meier's claims survived for many years within the UFO community, being touted as the best evidence for the reality of alien visitation. There are still those who will not admit the entire case is a complete fraud. Meanwhile, Meier has made a great deal of money from the sale of his book and other material in which he discusses his hoaxed contact with aliens.
