A visual reconstruction of the Errans, the human-passing beings described in Billy Meier's decades-long contact case.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
Errans
Since 1975, the Swiss farmer known as “Billy” Meier has described ongoing contact with a woman named Semjase, from a planet called Erra — a world its own contact material insists is not, strictly speaking, in the Pleiades star cluster we see overhead.
Name: Errans
AKA: Pleiadians, Plejaren, Taygeteans, The Billy Meier Nordics. Meier’s own material distinguishes “Plejaren” (his contacts’ preferred term) from “Pleiadians” (the popular but, per Meier’s material, technically imprecise term) — both are kept here as both are in wide use.
Location – Home System: Erra, a planet orbiting Taygeta in the Pleiades cluster, per Meier’s account. Meier’s own material adds a specific qualifier often left out of secondary retellings: the “Plejaren” system is described as not identical to the visible Pleiades cluster, but located in a related space-time configuration roughly 80 light-years beyond it, in what the material describes as another dimension.
Distance from Earth: The visible Pleiades cluster is roughly 420–440 light-years away — the figure most secondary sources use. Per Meier’s own material, this is not the same as the distance to Erra/the Plejaren system itself, which his material places in a distinct dimensional configuration rather than a simple additional light-year figure from the visible cluster.
Attitude: Benevolent and protective, consistent with the Meier material.
Motives: To assist humanity’s development and monitor Earth’s transition, per Meier’s material.
Physical Appearance: Per Meier’s material and the quoted Branton/Mojave summary: they look “remarkably, almost exactly” like humans, generally “Nordic” in appearance, some blonde and others darker-haired.
- Average Height: Not given a specific figure in the sourced material; a 5.5-to-6.2-foot range is a reasonable estimate consistent with “look almost exactly like us” but is not itself a sourced figure.
- Average Weight: Not documented in any source.
- Body Temperature: Not documented in any source.
- Pulse/Respiration: Not documented in any source.
- Blood Pressure: Not documented in any source.
- Life Expectancy: Approximately 1,000 years, per Meier’s own material.
- Hair: Some blonde, others darker-shaded, per the quoted Branton/Mojave source.
- Skin: Described generally as “Nordic” in appearance; no further specific description given.
- Eyes: Not specifically described in any source found.
- Sex: Male and female, biologically human-like with only minor anatomical differences, per Meier’s material.
Other Physical Information: Per Meier’s material, differences from humans are described as minor anatomical variations, without further detail specified.
Special Traits and Abilities: Telepathic contact is well documented in the Meier material.
Communication Type: Both telepathic and spoken communication are documented in the Meier material.
Origin: Per Wendelle Stevens’ account, the Errans are described as originally of Lyran descent, having come to Earth first before relocating to the Pleiades system due to ongoing conflict.
Life Form Type: Human-like humanoid, per Meier’s material.
Subspecies: Not documented in any source.
Most Common Species: “Erran-Nordics” is a reasonable working label but does not appear verbatim in the sourced material.
Level of Species: Not documented with any specific figure in any source.
Habits: The “Creational Laws” are a genuine, recurring concept in Meier’s broader material, emphasizing personal responsibility and the primacy of consciousness over material wealth.
Transportation Type: “Beamships” using advanced propulsion are well documented throughout the Meier material. “Great-Spacers,” a term for larger interstellar carrier ships, appears in wider Meier-related material.
Witnesses Reports: “Billy” Eduard Meier (Switzerland), with contact specifically involving Semjase beginning in 1975, following earlier, separate contacts in his account from 1942 onward. Meier’s material states more than 100 additional people have witnessed supporting evidence, beamships, or Meier himself, though independent verification of the core contact claims remains a matter of dispute outside the Meier/FIGU community. Randy Winters is a separate, independently circulated Pleiadian contactee case, not part of the Meier/Erra framework specifically.
Special Features/Characteristics: Erra’s population is reported at approximately 500 million, with the wider federation Meier describes numbering some 120 billion across member worlds.
Summary/Description: A human-passing, Nordic-appearing species of Lyran descent, contacted by Swiss farmer “Billy” Meier since 1975 through a woman named Semjase, describing a homeworld (Erra) their own material distinguishes from the visible Pleiades cluster.

DETAILED REPORT
The Errans entry benefits from two accurately-verified quoted passages (Stevens and Branton), both checked against independent copies of the same text. The most significant correction restored a nuance present in Meier’s own material but frequently dropped in popular retellings: Meier’s own account states the “Plejaren” homeworld is not literally within the visible Pleiades cluster, but exists roughly 80 light-years beyond it in a distinct dimensional configuration. Most secondary sources, including the prior draft, simply use the real astronomical distance to the visible cluster (420–440 light-years) as though it were the sourced distance to Erra itself.
The prior draft’s life expectancy range (700–1,000 years) was tightened to match the specific figure given in official Meier/FIGU material (approximately 1,000 years). The claim that Errans’ Beamships are biologically “grown” rather than engineered was removed, since it contradicts the sourced material’s own description of them as constructed craft.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
Erra and the Pleiades — A Dimensional Distinction Most Retellings Drop
- Source Chain Assessment: Two accurately-verified quoted passages (Stevens, Branton) and the broader Meier/FIGU contact material anchor this entry — among the more extensively documented single-contactee cases in this archive, though the core claims remain disputed outside Meier’s own organization.
- Classification Correction: The “Erra = visible Pleiades cluster” conflation was corrected to reflect Meier’s own stated dimensional distinction; life expectancy was tightened from a range to the specific ~1,000-year figure Meier’s material gives.
- Pattern Context: This “borrow the real astronomical distance to a visible object and apply it to a claimed nearby-but-distinct location” pattern recurs across this archive (compare El-Manouk’s Alnair/Gliese 832 issue) — worth flagging as a category of error, not a one-off.
- Evidentiary Weight: Meier’s material claims over 100 supporting witnesses, but independent, mainstream-accepted verification of the core contact claims does not exist; the case remains actively disputed.
- Geographic/Historical Context: The claimed contact history spans 1942 to the present, making this one of the longest-running single-contactee narratives in ufology, predating and outlasting most comparable cases.
The honest record: an extensively documented, decades-long single-contactee case with genuine internal detail (a specific population figure, a specific life-expectancy figure, a specific dimensional distinction for the homeworld) — richer than most entries in this archive, but still resting on one family’s claimed contact, disputed since its beginning.
“The Pleiadians according to Meier look remarkably, almost exactly, like us although many of them are alleged ‘Nordic’ appearing, some with blonde hair and others with darker shades.”
