Michelle Dolgoff’s Face Linked to Alien World

By Fraser Sherman, Destin Log, Fla.

Jul. 18–Destin resident Michelle Dolgoff has seen her face in fan magazines and on CD covers, but she never expected to see it identified on the Internet as the image of an extraterrestrial ambassador.

The photograph of Dolgoff — taken 35 years ago, when she was a dancer and singer on Dean Martin’s variety show — has turned up on UFO sites, on a MySpace page and in a YouTube video as the face of Asket, a friendly alien from a parallel world working with the Plejarans — ETs from the Pleiades star cluster — to guide and enlighten humanity.

Dolgoff had no idea her youthful face had wound up linked to a strange visitor from another world until she received an e-mail a few months ago from a man with the online name “Truthseeker.” Truthseeker, Dolgoff said in an interview, told Dolgoff that as part of his spiritual journey, he had visited a UFO Web site and found her picture there.

“Apparently, I was an impersonator of her,” Dolgoff said. “She looks just like me. I wasn’t sure if he was saying she was in my being or what.”

While Asket came as a surprise to Dolgoff, the Dal’s story is old hat to UFO buffs: Eduard “Billy” Meier of Switzerland first published accounts and photographs of his contacts with Asket and other ETs in the 1970s, including eight volumes of what Meier claims are transcripts of their conversations.

Meier claims that Asket has not only given him guidance about Earth’s future — including the potential for an upcoming world war — but taken him on trips into the past to understand human history. Even many UFO believers and buffs reject Meier’s claims, though others insist just as fi rmly that he’s a visionary truthteller.

You might think that passing off a TV dancer as the face of an ET settles the question, but Meier’s supporters say the very fact the photo is an obvious fake is a point in Meier’s favor: Why would he stoop to such an obvious fraud? Some Asket admirers say federal agents — the socalled Men in Black — had the photograph altered to discredit Meier and cover up the existence of UFOs.

Since becoming aware of Asket, Dolgoff said, she’s tried to convince some of Meier’s fans that she is not, in fact, an extraterrestrial.

“I was a small, tiny baby when she appeared in the ’50s,” Dolgoff said. “People talk to Asket, send mail to her. I could go off and become this character.”
