A dossier-style rendering of a Plejaren figure and beamship, reflecting the documented elements of Billy Meier's contact case.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
TAYGETEAN
The best-documented contact case in this entire archive belongs to Swiss farmer Eduard “Billy” Meier, whose decades of claimed contact with beings he calls the Plejaren produced thousands of pages of transcribed material, over a thousand photographs, and one of ufology’s most argued-over paper trails. What Meier’s own record actually says about his contacts’ homeworld, however, differs in several specific and checkable ways from what has circulated under the name “Taygetean” — and at least one thread of this page’s history traces not to Meier at all, but to a separate, older piece of writing that has sat in this network’s own archives since the early 2000s.
Name: Taygetean
AKA: Plejaren (the term Billy Meier’s contacts use for themselves; used by Meier in place of “Pleiadian” from 1995 onward to distinguish them from the visible star cluster). “Swaruunian” belongs to a separate, unrelated channeled source (Cosmic Agency / Gosia material) that also claims a Taygeta origin, and should not be treated as a documented Meier-canon subspecies. “Nordic Greys” is a misnomer not used in the source material.
Location – Home System: Erra, described by Meier’s contacts as their homeworld, associated with the direction of Taygeta in the Pleiades/Taurus region
Distance from Earth: This requires care, and there are three figures in play, not one. The visible Pleiades star cluster is astronomically measured at roughly 444 light-years away. Meier’s own claim is a different and stranger one: that the Plejaren exist not simply farther out in normal space, but in a separate space-time configuration roughly 80 to 115 light-years “beyond” the visible cluster (sources vary), reachable only through a dimensional shift rather than ordinary travel. This network’s own original glossary gives yet a third figure — roughly 30 light-years — specifically for the Taygeta system as it describes it, closer to Earth than either of the other two claims. Presenting any single one of these as a flat “~430–440 light-year” distance collapses three separate claims into one.
Attitude: Described across Meier’s material as advanced, non-interventionist by policy, and monitoring rather than directing human affairs
Motives: Undocumented as a specific Earth-directed mission in Meier’s own material beyond long-term observation; framing this as active “exposure of ET subversion” or “mind control negation” goes beyond what the primary source claims
Physical Appearance: Described as human in physical form, closely resembling Earth humans with minor anatomical differences, particularly among their broader confederation
Average Height: Undocumented with precision in the sources reviewed; described generally as within human range
Average Weight: Undocumented
Body Temperature: Undocumented
Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
Blood Pressure: Undocumented
Life Expectancy: Approximately 1,000 years, a figure that appears consistently across Meier-derived material
Hair: Undocumented with specific ranges; secondary descriptions vary
Skin: Described as human in appearance; specific tone data not found in sources reviewed
Eyes: Undocumented with specific color data in sources reviewed
Sex: Male and female, in proportions not documented; a “75% female” ratio does not appear in the sources reviewed and has been removed
Other Physical Information: A 48-chromosome structure, 5x-enlarged pineal gland, and 1.4x human brain volume are frequently repeated online but were not located in the primary Meier material or its major secondary compilations consulted for this correction, and have been marked undocumented rather than restated as fact.
Special Traits and Abilities: Telepathic communication is a consistent feature of the Meier material. Parthenogenesis (female self-cloning) is not documented in the sources reviewed and should be treated as unverified.
Communication Type: Telepathic contact is described as central to Meier’s own experience with Semjase, Ptaah, Quetzal, and other named contacts
Origin: Three distinct traditions exist here and should not be merged. Meier’s own material describes a shared distant ancestry between Earth humans and the Plejaren without detailing a specific war-and-refugee narrative in the sources reviewed. This network’s own original “Alien Types” glossary — archived since the early 2000s — takes a middle position: it describes Taygetean Nordics as colonizing the Taygeta system “after their former planetary abode in the Lyra constellation was invaded by neosaurian entities (reptilians, greys, etc.),” with the planet Erra “Terra-formed by the refugees from Lyra,” and gives a specific distance of roughly 30 light-years for that system — a real, if modest, war-and-refugee narrative that predates this correction and is distinct from both Meier’s own account and from the far more elaborate “Great Orion Wars” version this page previously carried. Separately, a piece called “Super-Synopsis” (attributed to the writer known as Branton, part of the same early-2000s archive) describes a larger-scale Draco-Orion war narrative with refugees reaching “Taygeta Pleiades” among several other systems. All three should be attributed to their actual sources rather than blended into one history.
Life Form Type: Humanoid
Subspecies: Undocumented as a formal classification in the Meier material; “Nordic” is a general descriptive term used loosely in wider ufological literature
Most Common Species: Undocumented
Level of Species: Undocumented (no numbered or graded classification appears in the sources reviewed)
Habits: Meier’s material extensively describes Erran social life — governance, work methods, marriage customs, diet, and more — across thousands of pages. Broad themes (a resource-based, moneyless economy; emphasis on emotional maturity before marriage; largely plant-based diet) appear consistent with secondary summaries of this material, though the specific figures below have not been independently verified against primary translations for this correction.
Transportation Type: Beamships, as described throughout Meier’s photographic and written material
Witnesses Reports: Billy Meier (primary contactee, contacts beginning in childhood with Sfath, later Asket, then Semjase, Ptaah, and Quetzal from 1975 onward); Fred Bell (a separate contactee associated with, though distinct from, the Meier case); additional witnesses to Meier’s photographic and physical evidence are documented in the wider case literature
Special Features/Characteristics: Erra’s population is documented in Meier-derived sources at approximately 500 to 550 million — not the roughly 400,000 previously listed on this page, which appears to be a significant factual error rather than a rounding or interpretive difference. The broader Plejaren Federation is described as having a population in the range of 120 billion.
Summary/Description: The Plejaren of Erra, as described across decades of contact reports by Swiss contactee Billy Meier — a human-appearing civilization sharing distant ancestry with Earth, existing not simply far away but in a distinct, dimensionally-shifted space-time configuration near the direction of the Pleiades.

DETAILED REPORT
Billy Meier’s case is unusual in this archive for how much primary material actually exists — thousands of pages of contact reports, translated and cross-referenced by his organization (FIGU) and by independent researchers for decades. That volume makes it possible to check specific claims with more precision than most entries here allow, and several of the figures on the previous version of this page did not hold up.
The most significant correction is the population of Erra. Meier-derived sources consistently place it at roughly 500 to 550 million people, with the broader Plejaren Federation numbering in the hundreds of billions. The previous version of this page listed a population “intentionally capped at approximately 400,000” — off by roughly three orders of magnitude, and framed as a deliberate low-population philosophy that does not appear in the source material at all.
The distance claim needed similar care rather than outright removal. It is true that the visible Pleiades cluster sits about 444 light-years from Earth — that part is astronomically accurate. But Meier’s own claim about his contacts’ homeworld is not simply a distance figure; it is a claim that the Plejaren exist in a different space-time configuration, roughly 80 to 115 light-years “beyond” the visible cluster in a dimension a fraction of a second shifted from our own. Flattening this into “~430–440 light-years” quietly discards the dimensional claim that is actually central to Meier’s account.
A separate issue is source-blending, and here this network’s own historical record turns out to matter directly. This site’s own original “Alien Types” glossary — the same compiled reference page that anchors several other entries in this archive, in circulation since the early 2000s — already carried a “Taygetean” entry of its own: Nordic-type humans who colonized the Taygeta system after their prior home in Lyra “was invaded by neosaurian entities (reptilians, greys, etc.),” with the planet Erra “Terra-formed by the refugees from Lyra,” roughly 30 light-years from Earth. This is a real, modest war-and-refugee narrative that predates any AI-era rewrite of this page, and it should be credited as this network’s own documented position — distinct from, and considerably smaller in scale than, both Meier’s own testimony and the separate “Super-Synopsis” piece (attributed to the writer Branton, part of the same early-2000s archive), which describes a much larger war between Lyran humanoids and Draconian reptilians, with refugees reaching “Taygeta Pleiades” among several other systems, built around different names, timelines, and a far more elaborate cosmology (six-star Draco empires, an “Unholy Six,” a 2004 invasion date that has since passed). Presenting any one of these three as a single continuous “Taygetean” origin story, merged silently with the other two, obscures that they are three separate claims from three separate points in this archive’s own history.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
Two Archives, One Page — Separating Meier’s Testimony from This Site’s Own Older Material
- Source Chain Assessment: This entry draws on three genuinely distinct, independently traceable sources — Billy Meier’s extensively documented contact case, this network’s own original “Taygetean” glossary entry (in circulation since the early 2000s), and a separate piece of writing (Branton’s “Super-Synopsis”) from the same period of this site’s archive. All three are real, findable sources. The error was blending them into one narrative rather than attributing each claim to its actual origin.
- This Network’s Own Historical Position: This site’s own original glossary already documented a modest Lyra-invasion, Erra-terraforming narrative with a ~30-light-year distance figure, long before any AI-assisted rewrite of this page. That figure and narrative have been restored and attributed to this archive’s own history, rather than treated as pure invention.
- Major Factual Correction — Population: Erra’s population is documented at roughly 500–550 million, not the approximately 400,000 previously stated. This is large enough and specific enough an error that it could not be a simple rounding choice; it has been corrected and flagged here explicitly.
- Distance Claim Restored to Its Actual Complexity: Meier’s own claim is not a flat distance figure but a dimensional one. Reducing it to “~430–440 light-years” — which is actually the distance to the visible Pleiades cluster, a different thing entirely — misrepresents the source’s own framing.
- Fabricated Biometric Panel: Body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, precise weight and height ranges, a 48-chromosome count, a 5x-enlarged pineal gland, 1.4x brain volume, and a “Level XVI” species rating do not appear in the Meier material or its major secondary compilations consulted here, and have been marked Undocumented.
- Name Collision — “Swaruunian“: This term belongs to a separate, unrelated channeled source (commonly associated with the “Cosmic Agency” material) that also claims a Taygeta connection. It is not part of Meier’s documented case and should not be presented as a Plejaren subspecies without noting it comes from an entirely different tradition.
What actually holds up here is more modest than the previous version of this page claimed, but it is also more interesting: a genuinely well-documented, decades-long contact case with real primary material to check claims against, sitting alongside a genuinely older piece of this site’s own archive that tells a related but distinct story. Both deserve to be represented honestly, and separately.
