Kalliope Meier
“Popi” Kalliope Meier Zafiriou.[1]
Billy’s ex-wife, Billy is divorced. They were married for 30 years, 3 decades, and would have shared many wonderful memories with eachother. Anyone who has experienced or seen a divorce, after such a long relationship, e.g. been a child and gone through the motions with their parents over years, appreciates that it goes on for a few years[citation needed] and gradually breaks down, however the various details are private apart from the accounts given during the various interviews and published information.
Kalliope gave positive reviews, wrote her own FIGU articles, witness statements, signed an affidavit, conducted interviews and worked tirelessly for 'the Billy Meier case' and FIGU at the Semjase Silver Star Center for a couple of decades, see below listing. Atleast that is, up to and before the divorce, where something changes in her, the divorce subsequently pushes her out and negative, vengeance reviews and interviews emerge thereafter. She hadn’t properly rejected it all by developing a keener interest in being interviewed than before.

Kalliope Zafiriou (nickname Popi/Poppi), named after a rare beautiful bird (Calliope hummingbird), was born in Neoi Epivates, Greece on the 3rd of November, 1948. She was brought up as a strict Greek-orthodox and spent it partly in the monastery and changed to atheist in later life, just like the vast majority of people exposed to religion during their childhood do. She started working in a factory at age 14, but wanted to be either a dressmaker or hairdresser. Her father worked as a fisherman. Her mother saw her as a child resulting from an unwanted pregnancy (by the late 1850s several major rubber companies were mass-producing, among other items, rubber condoms). Her mother required unconditional obedience from Kalliope, and regularly beat her when she wasn’t, which is how her hatred developed toward her mother.[citation needed]
She first met Eduard when she was 17 years old on 25th December, 1965, in the city of Thessaloniki. At that time Eduard wasn’t far off twice her age at 29 years old. By that time he had already lost his left arm from the bus accident, about 5 months prior to them meeting on the 3rd of August in Iskenderun, Turkey. A month after they met, Eduard popped the question to Popi, she said yes and they got engaged on the 25th of January 1966. Her parents didn’t consent and she hated her mother for slapping her religiously as a child, so a month later the two of them eloped and ran away together to get married on 25th February, 1966.[citation needed]
After many encounters with the police, being searched and threats by her family. They got married the following month on 25th March 1966, in the city of Corinth. Between February 1967 and June 1969, they then traveled Turkey, Pakistan and India. She gave birth to their first, a girl, Gilgamesha in Quetta, Pakistan, 20th September 1967.[citation needed]
After returning to Switzerland in 1968, they had two sons – Atlantis Meier, 9th August 1970 and Methusalem Meier, 31st October 1973.[citation needed]
Billy told Kalliope in 1975 about the extraterrestrials. Since 1975, Kalliope’s task at FIGU was the comprehensive household duties, where she cooked daily for up to 16 including the group members and children. In addition, she also greeted visitors to the SSSC, took care of the library and processed the mail of about 100 to 120 FIGU passive members.[citation needed]
For reasons she hasn’t publicly made clear, Popi left Meier and launched divorce proceedings in the spring of 1995. She officially quit FIGU on 3rd August 1996, and her marriage officially ended in June 1997. She then became a nurse, as she had wanted for years. According to her son Methusalem, Popi was later in a relationship with a man for 2 years, but has been living alone since they broke up.[citation needed]
1967 (inconsistency) – Billy was age 30 – Meets and later marries Kalliope.[citation needed]
1997 – Billy was age 60 – Kalliope divorces him.[citation needed]

Signed Affidavit
Kalliope in 1991 signed an Affidavit. An Affidavit is a written statement confirmed by oath or affirmation, for use as evidence in court. The translation reads:
The undersigned herewith confirm that they have never observed or known Mr. Eduard Albert Meier (Billy), residing at CH-8495 Schmidrüti/ZH, of ever being involved in any unfair intrigues or manipulations in order to feign false facts, much less ever having been involved as assistant himelf.
Furthermore, we know of no wealthy backers ever giving Billy material help in any way with the attainment of his ufological slide series and short films.
We also confirm that the reports of our experiences outlined in this book completely correspond to the truth. If need be, these statements can at any time be sworn to before a court of law.[2]
Followed by many signatures including Kalliope Meier.
Contact Report 119
Kalliope saw Ptaah by mistake for 15 seconds on Eduards birthday, 3rd of February 1979 and wrote up an article about it which was included in Contact Report 119. The exchange lasted long enough for her to make reasonably descriptive observations. She walked into the living room at the SSSC and saw a tall bearded male figure dressed in a grey, full body, overall suit, which had a large round opening in the neck for a helmet, which he wasn't wearing. Around the belt were attached some strange devices and apparatus things. Upon unexpected sight of each other she was startled and he took a step backwards, grasped a small device on his belt and disappeared.
Beamship Sounds
Kalliope was among the fifteen witnesses present during the Variant III Beamship, forty-eight minute tape recording, which was made on 7th July, 1980, in Ober-Sädelegg, Switzerland, on four seperate cassette recorders. Kalliope gave her own Aiwa recorder to Billy, and then stood approximately 450 metres west of his position. Many residents of the small hamlet of Zinggen, three kilometers away heard it, prompting several of them to run up the hill in search of the source of this strange loud whirring noise of the unmuffled device, arriving after it ended. Two members of the D. family however, who lived a half-mile away, came just in time to observe the final minutes of the recording.

18. It could actually have come out very badly since your wife had, with great strength, flung the knives and forks in your face over the kitchen table.
19. You could have been killed by the kilogram weight of the crystal ashtray which she hurled, right across the whole kitchen, at your head.

Witness List
Witness Matrix
Kalliope is listed as a witness on several occassions.
61 Years of Poems, Sayings, Aphorisms (book)
Billy has generously shared with us many of his older poems in his 2004 book, "61 Jahre Gedichte Sprüche Aphorismen" (61 Years of Poems Sayings Aphorisms). From there we learn - from many touching love poems written for his beloved Kalliope - that "Kannibalen" was one of Billy's affectionate nicknames for his wife, along with "Kannibalenkind", "Agapulla" and "Agapimo".
And now a short reminder of the early travels of Billy: In 1967 Billy and his now ex-wife, Kalliope continued their travels towards the Far East, namely to Karachi, West Pakistan. During their stay they were both taught about Islam. Billy’s reason to study Islam was because of his task to get to know the world religions and to learn them thoroughly.
When somebody converts to Islam, he/she is usually given an Arabic name(s) if he/she doesn’t already have one, and so Billy was given the Muslim name Mohammed Abdullah and Kalliope (his ex-wife) the name Ayesha Abdullah.
