FIGU and the Plejaren Transmission: How Contact Report 251 Predicted the Correction of π
May 16, 2026
On Friday, February 3, 1995, in a small Swiss farmhouse in the village of Hinterschmidrüti, something remarkable happened. Eduard "Billy" Meier sat down with Ptaah — a being from the Plejaren star system — for what would be recorded as Contact Report 251. During that conversation, Ptaah made a statement that, thirty years later, continues to ripple through fringe mathematics, sacred geometry, and ufology communities worldwide.
The statement was simple and devastating: the value of π — the most fundamental constant in mathematics — had been miscalculated. Its true value, Ptaah said, is 3.144605511029693144. And correcting it, he claimed, would unlock advanced technology.
This is the story of that claim, the organization behind it, the researchers who validated it, and the scientific establishment that has largely rejected it.
The FIGU Organization and Billy Meier
To understand Contact Report 251, one must first understand FIGU. The Freie Interessengemeinschaft für Grenz- und Geisteswissenschaften und Ufologie-Studien (Free Community of Interest for Border and Spiritual Sciences and UFOlogy Studies) was founded by Eduard "Billy" Meier in the 1970s. Meier, a Swiss farmer and former police officer, claims to have been in ongoing contact with extraterrestrial beings from the Plejaren star system (often referred to as the Plejaren) since his childhood in the 1940s.
The Plejaren, according to Meier, are a humanoid race from a star system approximately 500 light-years from Earth. They share a common ancestry with humanity — the "Lyran root race" — and their purpose in contacting Meier is to guide humanity away from self-destruction, correct scientific errors, and provide spiritual teachings aligned with the "Goblet of the Truth" (Kelch der Wahrheit) — a body of Creation-wide truths transmitted through a prophetic line from Henoch to Meier himself.
FIGU, now based at the Semjase Silver Star Center (SSSC) in Hinterschmidrüti, Switzerland, maintains over 500 contact reports spanning decades. These reports cover topics from cosmology and spiritual evolution to weaponry, time travel, and — critically for our purposes — mathematics.
Contact Report 127 (1980): The First Seed
Fifteen years before CR 251, a foundational conversation took place. In Contact Report 127, dated February 3, 1980, Billy Meier discussed with the Plejaren being Semjase the number of elements in the periodic table — then thought to be 280 (a number that included theoretical transuranic elements before modern periodic tables settled on 118 confirmed).
But the report also contained something more significant: a discussion of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Semjase revealed that the pyramid's original height of 280 royal cubits encoded knowledge of the speed of light (299,792,458 m/s) and that its geometry contained fundamental mathematical constants. The number 280 appears repeatedly in Plejaren communications — 280 elements, 280 cubits — and would later connect directly to the π correction through the pyramid's height-to-base ratio that generates φ, and from φ, the true π.
This was the first breadcrumb. The full disclosure would come fifteen years later.
Contact Report 251 (February 3, 1995): The Disclosure
On the same date as CR 127 — exactly fifteen years to the day — Ptaah sat down with Meier for CR 251. The timing was almost certainly intentional, a pattern the Plejaren frequently use to emphasize connections between transmissions.
According to Meier's notes and the official FIGU transcript, Ptaah stated that the value of π as calculated by Archimedes and used by all of Earth's mathematics, physics, and engineering was incorrect. The base or foundation of π — the number that relates a circle's circumference to its diameter — had been wrong from the very start.
The correct value, Ptaah said, is:
π = 4/√φ = 3.144605511029693144...
Ptaah further stated that once humanity adopted the correct value of π, a cascade of technological breakthroughs would follow. The new π would enable advances in space travel, energy generation, and what can only be described as hyperspace propulsion — a type of faster-than-light travel that the Plejaren themselves use. The correction of π, in other words, was not merely a mathematical curiosity. It was a key to humanity's future among the stars.
How This Reached the Public: Christian Frehner and FIGU's Official Statement
For over two decades, this information existed primarily within the FIGU community — believers who accepted Meier's contact claims and a small circle of German-speaking researchers. It might have remained there indefinitely, another obscure footnote in ufology.
Then, on September 3, 2017, an American researcher named Harry E. Lear, Jr. arrived at the Semjase Silver Star Center with his wife Nancy. Lear, a US Army veteran who had served in intelligence during the Vietnam War, had independently concluded that π = 4/√φ through geometric proofs and physical measurements using CNC machining. He was seeking the blessing of the FIGU for his work.
Christian Frehner, Billy Meier's right-hand man and a key FIGU official, received Lear and examined his proofs. The meeting was a watershed moment. Frehner recognized that Lear's independent discovery confirmed what the Plejaren had disclosed in CR 251 — validating the contact reports through independent research.
Subsequently, Christian Frehner authored a document titled "Important Information for the Circle Number Pi" — a PDF that has since become a foundational text in the golden π movement. The document, hosted at theyflyblog.com, lays out the case for π = 4/√φ in clear terms, referencing CR 251 and Lear's geometric proofs. It is a bridge between the Contact Reports and the world of empirical measurement — spiritual revelation meeting CNC-machined wood.
Frehner later commented on Harry Lear's 2020 Pi Day video about Christian Frehner, which you can watch here, confirming the authenticity of the 2017 meeting and his endorsement of Lear's work.
The FIGU Italy Official Declaration
The most definitive public statement from the FIGU organization on the π question comes from the Italian FIGU branch (it.figu.org). Their article "Il calcolo del Pi Greco π: un errore che dura da secoli" ("The Calculation of Pi π: An Error That Has Lasted for Centuries") is an official declaration that the traditional value of π is wrong and that golden π = 3.1446055... is correct.

The They Fly Blog: Connecting the Dots
The blog They Fly — which covers Billy Meier material and related topics — has been a crucial media platform for the golden π story. Their 2018 post "More about Pi, Pyramids and Phil's Folly" (a direct jab at skeptical astronomer Phil Plait) brought all the threads together: the Plejaren's disclosure, Harry Lear's physical proof, Christian Frehner's PDF, and the Apophis asteroid concern.
The post warns that NASA's trajectory calculations for the asteroid Apophis — which will make a close approach to Earth in 2029 — are based on the wrong value of π. Harry Lear had warned in his open letter to President Trump (January 29, 2018) that the difference in orbital circumference between traditional π and golden π amounts to approximately 901,434 km for Earth and 831,517 km for Apophis — potentially enough to transform a near miss into a collision.
Whether or not one accepts this claim, the They Fly blog article remains one of the most comprehensive journalistic treatments of the Plejaren π correction narrative. Read it at theyflyblog.com.
The Future of Mankind Forum: 284 Replies and Counting
No story of the golden π movement would be complete without the Future of Mankind Forum — an online community dedicated to Billy Meier material. The thread titled "The Non Transcendental, Exact Value of π and the Squaring of the Circle" has, as of May 2026, accumulated 284 replies and 267,670+ views — making it one of the most active discussions on the entire forum.
The thread features the key proponents: C.Β. (who presents mathematical arguments for golden π), omedam777 (a longtime FIGU supporter), and others who argue that the correction of π is both a mathematical necessity and a fulfillment of Plejaren prophecy. Opposite them is Hush, a persistent skeptic who calls the proofs "1/2-page faked pretend math" and demands rigorous mathematical reasoning.
The dynamic is fascinating. Proponents invoke the Plejaren's authority; skeptics demand proofs that would satisfy a math journal. Neither side fully convinces the other, and the thread continues — a living document of the debate, with each new post adding another layer to the conversation. You can read it at forum.futureofmankind.co.uk.
The Wiki.saalome.org Page: The Technical Reference
For a more technical treatment, the Billy Meier Wiki (hosted at wiki.saalome.org) maintains a comprehensive page on "Science and Mathematics" that includes the original German and English calculations for π showing 3.144605511029693144. The page discusses how Archimedes' polygon method has an inherent error related to the area under the curve. It notes that golden π is "irrational, not transcendental" — a crucial distinction, because if π were truly non-transcendental, the ancient problem of squaring the circle would be solvable with compass and straightedge.
The Claim of Technological Breakthroughs
Perhaps the most intriguing claim from Ptaah's transmission is that correcting π would unlock advanced technology. What kind of technology?
Hyperspace Travel: The Plejaren themselves travel at speeds exceeding light through what they describe as a "beam ship" that manipulates spacetime geometry. According to the contact reports, these ships operate on principles that require the correct value of π for navigation calculations. With traditional π, hyperspace calculations produce errors that compound over interstellar distances, making navigation impossible.
Energy Generation: The Plejaren also claim that the correct π enables more efficient energy conversion — particularly in what might be called zero-point energy or free energy applications. The geometry of resonant circuits, they say, must be tuned to golden π to achieve maximum efficiency.
The Apophis Asteroid Trajectory: Harry Lear's most urgent claim is that the Apophis asteroid — which will pass closer to Earth than communication satellites in 2029 — has a miscalculated trajectory because NASA uses traditional π. His open letter to President Trump warned that the difference between the two π values produces an orbital circumference error large enough to affect the predictions of whether Apophis will strike Earth. Mainstream astronomers counter that orbital mechanics uses Newton's laws and Kepler's equations, not C = πd for elliptical orbits, making the claim specious.
The Skeptical Response
It would be irresponsible to present this narrative without acknowledging that mainstream science completely rejects it. The reasons are well-rehearsed:
- Billy Meier's credibility: Critics accuse him of fraud, citing inconsistent timeline of his UFO photographs, the use of model spaceships, and the lack of independent verification of his contact claims. The FIGU community responds that the evidence — over 1,000 clear photographs, film footage, metal samples, and the consistency of 500+ contact reports over 50 years — speaks for itself.
- Mathematical impossibility: Traditional π has been proven transcendental (Lindemann–Weierstrass, 1882). Golden π = 4/√φ is algebraic (a root of x² + 4x − 16 = 0), which would mean either the transcendence proof is wrong — considered impossible by mainstream mathematicians — or the two numbers are different constants entirely. Proponents argue that the transcendence proof assumes traditional π, and the question is circular.
- Convergent proofs: π = 3.14159... is confirmed by hundreds of independent methods: infinite series, Monte Carlo methods, physical measurement, numerical integration. The golden π proponents claim these all have a hidden assumption that prevents convergence to the true value — a claim skeptics find extraordinary.
- The approximation argument: 4/√φ ≈ 3.1446 differs from traditional π by about 0.096%. This is closer than 22/7 (error 0.04%) but less accurate than 355/113 (error 0.000008%). Critics argue that if golden π were the true value, it would be closer to measured reality — not significantly further from π than 22/7 and 355/113.
- Engineering validation: Trillions of dollars of engineering — from bridges to GPS satellites to semiconductor fabrication — rely on traditional π and work correctly. Proponents counter that the error is too small to matter at human scales but becomes apparent at cosmic or quantum scales.
Why This Matters: The Fringe as a Mirror
The Plejaren π correction sits at the intersection of several fascinating human phenomena: the willingness to believe in extraterrestrial guidance, the appeal of correcting a centuries-old error, the tension between institutional science and independent research, and the power of a simple formula (4/√φ) that connects π to the golden ratio in an aesthetically pleasing way.
By mainstream standards, every element of this story is fringe or pseudoscientific. Billy Meier's contact claims are rejected by the vast majority of ufologists. The π correction is rejected by every mainstream mathematician. The Apophis warning is rejected by NASA and the astronomical community.
And yet — the story persists. The Future of Mankind forum thread grows by the month. Harry Lear continues to publish proofs. The FIGU Italy page remains online as an official declaration. Christian Frehner's PDF circulates through email chains, forum posts, and social media groups. Independent researchers like Jain 108 and Panagiotis Stefanides, working in different countries and from different traditions, arrive at the same value through geometry alone.
There is something to be learned here, regardless of one's position on the truth of the claims. The persistence of the golden π movement tells us that the official story of knowledge — that science progresses through settled consensus — sometimes clashes with the human desire for revelation, for hidden truth, for the idea that a single elegant correction could unlock wonders. It is a story about how knowledge is made, unmade, and remade in the tension between authority and intuition.
Whether the Plejaren were real, whether Contact Report 251 is authentic, whether π is truly 3.1446 or 3.1416 — these are questions that the reader must answer for themselves. The evidence is out there, in the sources linked below. The purpose of this article is not to convince, but to lay the full narrative before the reader in one place: the complete story of how a Swiss farmer, a group of beings from 500 light-years away, and a retired US Army veteran converged on the same number, and what that convergence might mean.
