In 1978, Wendelle Stevens reported viewing (along with Lee and Brit Elders and seven other witnesses) 11 photographs that Meier claimed that he took, during a time travel trip, of an earthquake that would occur sometime in the future, in San Francisco. Since publishing his observations, critics have claimed that Meier really just took photos of a painting that appeared in Geo magazine. But as Stevens says, there were 11 photos and only one Geo painting, plus as the investigators reviewed the photos looking for clues as to when it might happen, they noticed that the cars looked very different than the ones that were current in 1978.
Here is what Stevens had to say, "I carefully studied each picture as they came to me, trying to recognize familiar landmarks and buildings, and any prominent new structures I had never seen there before. I looked carefully at cars shown in the streets below for style and any configurations not familiar at the time. I did see smaller cars with smoothly rounded corners and no external projections, and some of these had half-glass and others full-glass cabin tops, making them look more like bugs than boxy cars."
I recently sent Wendelle the picture below of the new Ford Edge, and asked him if this was at all similar to what he saw in those photographs. He replied, "Yes that does look a lot like the Beetle shaped cars we saw except, some of them were beginning to show small fins on the back of the rear fenders."
Let's see if designers start to introduce any cars with small fins in the near future.
Hmm I wonder if I should believe him.
