--1-- During the early 1980s the American journalist Gary Kinder for 3 years investigated the Meier case, his investigation resulted in the book Light Years which was published 1987 by the Atlantic Monthly Press, in New York.

The book contains a lot of information, however a major shortage of the book is that it contains no index, and almost no footnotes. On this page a table of contents of this book can be found. The book I used for composing this overview was a hardcover, and a first edition, published in 1987.

English German
The world’s happenings are dependent on thoughts. Das Geschehen der Welt hängt von den Gedanken ab.
I) At first the human must seek the truth, find it, gain knowledge from it and expand on it. I) Als erstes muss der Mensch die Wahrheit suchen und finden und daraus das Wissen lernen und erweitern.
II) As second step the human must correct his thoughts in a controlling manner and align them with the truth of his gained knowledge. II)Als zweites muss der Mensch seine Gedanken kontollierend korrigieren und auf die Wahrheit seines erlangten Wissens ausrichten.
III) As third step the human must, through his knowledge and his thoughts, create his inner harmony. III) Als drittes muss der Mensch durch sein Wissen und durch seine Gedanken seine innere Harmonie erschaffen.
IV) As fourth step the human must, based on his inner harmony, correct, straighten out, form and harmonise his own character. IV)Als viertes muss der Mensch aus seiner inneren Harmonie hervorgehend seine eigene Persönlichkeit korrigieren, orden, formen, und harmonisieren.
V) As fifth step the human must correct, straighten out, form and harmonise his direct environment, his family life and relatives' life. V) Als fünftes muss der Mensch seine direkte Umgebung, sein Familien- und Verwandtschaftleben korrigieren, ordnen, formen und harmonisieren.
VI) As sixth step the human must correct, straighten out, form and harmonise his near environment of friends, mates and acquaintances. VI) Als sechstes muss der Mensch seine nähere Umwelt der Freunde, Kameraden und Bekannten korrigieren, orden, formen, und harmonisieren.
VII) As seventh step the human is then capable to correct, to straighten out, to form, to harmonise and to lead a group of humans, the mass of humanity, the state and the world in a wise, humane and creational-just and law-like way. VII) Als siebentes ist der Mensch dann fähig, eine Gruppe Menschen, die Masse Menschheit, den Staat und die Welt zu korrigieren, zu ordnen, zu formen zu harmonisieren und zu führen in weisheitlicher, menschengerechter und schöpfungsgerecht-gesetzmässiger Form.

    Reactions of neighbors and other people living in Hinwil; Meier's children bullied.
    19-20
    One afternoon in the summer of 1976 "Hans Schutzbach accompanied Meier to a secluded meadow". There in the presence of Meier and a tape recorder he heard the beamship sounds. Schutzbach later returned to the spot but his attempts to recreate the sounds were unsuccessful.

    Schutzbach was most impressed with landing tracks; he studied them and he and others had no success with duplicating them.

    A month later Runkel returns to Meier's house; he re-examines landing tracks, he re-photographs them and he doesn't understand "how the large counterclockwise swirls could be so precisely pressed into the tall grass without crushing it".
