FIGU and the extraterrestrial Transmission: How Contact Report 251 Predicted the Correction of π

figu plejaren contact report 251 pi correction

Correction notice (verified against the CR 251 transcript, Feb 2026): This article originally stated that the extraterrestrial spokesperson declared the true value of π to be 3.144605511029693144 (4/√φ) and tied it to advanced technology. Contact Report 251 does not do that. It contains a single prophecy that "the erroneousness in the calculation of the Pi number" will be recognized and corrected — with no value given and no technology claim. The figure 4/√φ = 3.1446055… originates with later golden-π researchers (a visiting researcher; the article carried in Contact Report 856 / Sign of the Times 75), not with the extraterrestrial spokesperson. The sections below have been corrected accordingly.

On Friday, February 3, 1995, in a small Swiss farmhouse in the village of Hinterschmidrüti, something remarkable happened. The Swiss contactee sat down with the extraterrestrial spokesperson — a being from an extraterrestrial star system — for what would be recorded as Contact Report 251. During that conversation, a prophecy was recorded that, thirty years later, continues to ripple through fringe mathematics, sacred geometry, and ufology communities worldwide.

The statement was brief: the value of π — the most fundamental constant in mathematics — had been miscalculated. The report itself gave no number; the exact figure now associated with the story (3.144605511029693144, i.e. 4/√φ) came from later researchers, not from Contact Report 251. And correcting π, in the telling that grew around it, would unlock advanced technology.

This is the story of that claim, the organization behind it, the researchers who supplied the specific value, and the scientific establishment that has largely rejected it.

The FIGU Organization and the Contactee

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 the Swiss contactee in the 1970s. The contactee, a Swiss farmer and former police officer, claims to have been in ongoing contact with extraterrestrial beings from an extraterrestrial star system (often referred to as the extraterrestrial) since his childhood in the 1940s.

The extraterrestrial, according to the contactee, are a human race — human extraterrestrial beings — 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 the contactee 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 the contactee himself.

FIGU, now based at the 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, the contactee discussed with an extraterrestrial being 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. An extraterrestrial being 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 extraterrestrial 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 — the extraterrestrial spokesperson sat down with the contactee for CR 251. The timing was almost certainly intentional, a pattern the extraterrestrials frequently use to emphasize connections between transmissions.

According to the contactee's notes and the official FIGU transcript, the extraterrestrial spokesperson's statement on π is far more modest than the legend that has grown around it. Contact Report 251 contains one sentence on the subject, embedded in a prophecy about the scientific breakthroughs of "1995 and the following years":

"…the year 1995 and the following years bring an enormous number of breakthroughs to change civilisation. In the time to come, the factor of finally recognising and correcting that which is erroneous in the calculation of the Pi number will also contribute to this." German: "Dazu wird in kommender Zeit auch der Faktor dessen beitragen, dass endlich das Falsche in der Berechnung der Pi-Zahl erkannt und behoben wird."

The report gives no value — no 4/√φ, no 3.144605511029693144, no mention of Archimedes, and no claim about space travel, energy, or faster-than-light propulsion. Those elaborations entered the story later, through the broader golden-π narrative (a visiting researcher's open letters, the They Fly blog, the FIGU-Italy page, and forum threads). The report itself only prophesies that the error in π's calculation will one day be recognized and corrected — and, per Contact Report 712 (2018), that exactness would require an instrumentarium Earth does not yet possess.

How This Reached the Public: A FIGU Official and FIGU's Official Statement

For over two decades, this information existed primarily within the FIGU community — believers who accepted the contactee'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 arrived at the Silver Star Center (SSSC) with his wife Nancy. The visiting researcher, 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.

A FIGU official — the contactee's right-hand man — received the visiting researcher and examined his proofs. The meeting was a watershed moment. The FIGU official recognized that the visiting researcher's independent discovery fulfilled the prediction recorded in CR 251 — validating the contact reports through independent research.

Subsequently, a FIGU official 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 a visiting researcher's geometric proofs. It is a bridge between the Contact Reports and the world of empirical measurement — spiritual revelation meeting CNC-machined wood.

A FIGU official later commented on a visiting researcher's 2020 Pi Day video about the 2017 meeting, which you can watch here, confirming the authenticity of the 2017 meeting and his endorsement of a visiting researcher'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 page explicitly references:

  • Contact Report 127 (Feb 3, 1980) — the number 280, Great Pyramid dimensions, and the speed of light
  • Contact Report 251 (Feb 3, 1995) — the extraterrestrial spokesperson's statement that π's base had been miscalculated
  • a visiting researcher's 2017 visit to the SSSC — the meeting with a FIGU official
  • The FIGU official's PDF and its conclusions

The Italian FIGU page represents the most official, public-facing endorsement of golden π from the FIGU organization. You can read it in full at it.figu.org.

The They Fly Blog: Connecting the Dots

The blog They Fly — which covers the contactee 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 extraterrestrial's disclosure, a visiting researcher's physical proof, a FIGU official'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. A visiting researcher 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 extraterrestrial 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 the contactee 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 extraterrestrial 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 extraterrestrial'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 Future of Mankind 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

A recurring theme in the golden-π narrative — though not present in Contact Report 251 itself — is that correcting π would unlock advanced technology. This elaboration developed later, largely through a visiting researcher's open letters and the They Fly blog. What kind of technology is claimed?

Hyperspace Travel: The extraterrestrial 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 extraterrestrial 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: a visiting researcher'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:

  • The contactee'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 extraterrestrial 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. The contactee'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. A visiting researcher continues to publish proofs. The FIGU Italy page remains online as an official declaration. A FIGU official'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 extraterrestrial 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.
