Scott

You may be right, Scott. There are several indications which support your argument.
First, according to Quetzal in CR 150
492. It [the mentioned meteor] is coming towards the SOL-System from the depths of space and is, so to speak, an alien.
But ‘Apophis’ - according to NASA - is not 'coming from the depths of space' but from the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter (1)

A further hint that the meteor Quetzal mentions may not be Apophis:
Ptaah explaining the Plejaren term asteroid and meteor is defined by the celestial body’s structure not by its size (2)

Third, Billy only mentions the word 'meteor / comet' in CR 507:
'But perhaps the prophesied meteor or comet will also thunder onto the Earth and wipe out the greater part of humanity, or perhaps the human being of the Earth, in his irresponsibility and madness, will finally trigger a global war, through which he will drastically reduce himself. (3)

The uncertainty (whether Apophis or another asteroid is the prophesied danger) is as well mentioned by A. (someone writing to Billy/Bernadette) re. the dangers looming in our future: “Besides, there is also an asteroid on a collision course with Earth, whether it is Apophis is not certain and not mentioned in the KB, but it seems likely.” (4).

Not sure though what the “Billy for Kids” (comic book story) mentioned about the destructive meteor.

And finally, Kenneth, too, mentioned to me recently t_hat it would be unusual that a rubble pile asteroid like Apophis would “penetrate the European Tectonic plate. Nonetheless, we do not know how large the nickel, chromium and iron boulders are”._
It may as well not be “Bennu”. another rubble pile‘ asteroid, because this asteroid does not come, (as Quetzal points out in CR 150) “the first time to our solar system” but orbits our sun every 1.2 years (5).

101. We call a body an asteroid if it corresponds to a loose and porous or halfway compact mass.
     ...
102. And if such a body penetrates the earth's atmosphere, for example, or falls to the Earth, it remains an asteroid either way, and thus does not correspond to a meteor.
     ….
103. In contrast to an asteroid, a meteor is a solid and extremely compact body, which can also be very large and consists of metals, rare earths and various minerals or hard rock

_Summary of Findings
(Please correct me if I am wrong)

1. There may be some doubts that a rubble pile asteroid like Apophis (1) could ““penetrate the European Tectonic plate”.
2. And NASA’s origin of Apophis (2) does match Quetzal’s ominous warning (3).
3. But Billy told us in November 2008 that the ominous Red Meteor will come close to Earth on April 13, 2029 (4).
4. NASA confirms that on the same date Apophis will come close to our planet (5).

Conclusions

1. We may therefore surmise that the dangerous asteroid that Quetzal / Billy / Ptaah mention in the CRs is identical with the Red Meteor aka Apophis.
2. As Sfath’s Predictions (CR 670) tell us that -
   “293. The whole coming chaos and disaster in the coming times up to the second and third decade of the third millennium will still appear harmless in contrast to that which the times after that will bring.” (6),
3. the potential asteroid strike may happen past 2030.
4. It is striking that both Petale in 1976 (7) and Quetzal in 1981 (8) mention that the potential asteroid hit will be an effect caused by “breaking the love commandment" (Petale) resp. mankind's “materialistic and misleading disunity and megalomania” (Quetzal)

With a view of our present
Should the common foe from outer space not cause those that can do so, stop their warring and seek discussions instead? Is this not the essence of all the predictions?

(1) (NASA, last update Sept, 2022)
“Apophis is classified as an S-type, or stony-type asteroid made up of silicate (or rocky) materials and a mixture of metallic nickel and iron.”

(2) (NASA, last update Sept, 2022)
Apophis is a remnant from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. It originated in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Over millions of years, its orbit was changed primarily by the gravitational influence of large planets like Jupiter so that it now orbits the Sun closer to Earth. “

Billy:
Is this now the Destroyer, or is it another comet that keeps passing through our solar system?
Quetzal:
_492. Neither, my friend.

494. It is coming towards the SOL-System from the depths of space** and is, so to speak, an alien._

” With regard to the Red Meteor, which will endanger the Earth on 13 April 2029… In the year 2029 it is supposed to either hit the Earth or whiz past it only very narrowly. If the latter should be the case, then a next dangerous meteor appearance would be in the year 2036, whereby then a nearing to the Earth could all the more lead to the catastrophe, if nothing is undertaken against it by the scientists or nothing changes in relation to the trajectory of the meteor itself. “

(5) (NASA, last update Sept, 2022)
“On April 13, 2029, Apophis will pass less than 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) from our planet’s surface – closer than the distance of geosynchronous satellites. During that 2029 close approach, Apophis will be visible to observers on the ground in the Eastern Hemisphere without the aid of a telescope or binoculars.“

(7) Petale in 1976:
“A meteor from space - comet-like, races close and crashes in the big pond, the air it burns up as a glowing ball, in the year of the three-value, with terrible sound, with terrible howling, gigantic power, as death-missile it crashes on the Earth… They (the people) scream and cry and plead with her, for much blessing and love and help from now on but they never thought about the great law, about the love-commandment, which they broke. They lived along, passing Creation by, because all-the-while love was immaterial to them. Only the punishing power of the highest one, allows a few to find their way back to the greatest One.”

_“498. The cosmic forces themselves have pre-programmed this event, which could only be stopped or averted by the Earth-humans themselves.

499. In their materialistic and misleading disunity and in their megalomania, however, they disregard all warnings and prophecies, so that the event will probably inevitably come to pass, as a reminder and a punishment, if you want to see it in that manner.”_

_The Danger of the mid 2030s – Apophis 2036?
In the latest CR *) Billy points to a "very great danger in the middle of the 2030s".
On first glance it seems to refer to Apophis in 2036. But it is mentioned in the context of excessive oil and gas exploitation which have a much greater effect on our planet’s tectonic plates than our scientists are aware of.
Could it be that due to the excessive exploitation of Earth’s resources our planet will somewhat change its course – moving it towards a collision course with Apophis?
NB
Ptaah had mentioned in CR 831 **) that, according to his father's research, "the exploitation of the Earth's resources had changed the internal balance of the Earth".
Billy had warned of a cosmic danger in CR 833 ***)
And Quetzal had mentioned in 1987 ****) that our earth orbit has already become irregular due to the many atomic explosions/tests on our planet - and - perhaps - this irregularity is increased due Earth's imbalance (due to the excessive exploitation of Earth’s resources)?
Just a thought.

*) Billy in CR 863
https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/Contact_Report_863

“… Now, the constant and unconscionable as well as irresponsible huge exploitations of the Earth's resources, the greedy and excessive exploitation of the planet for monetary gain by companies and corporations that bring about these machinations through the greed of overpopulation, have all brought bad consequences for the climate and the Earth, and they will bring much worse I know this from Sfath, who was also able to prove the whole thing to me and let me see many things, also the very great danger in the middle of the 2030s, when the whole Earth will be threatened. I know this because he let me see what will happen then, as well as what will ultimately be the evil consequence of this, if the Earth's petroleum, iron and coal, gases and metals of various kinds etc. continue to be robbed from the Earth.
With regards to that, I know that a much greater negative effect is being exerted on the entire Earth and, of course, on the Earth's plates than geologists and other scientists suspect and claim. Obviously, they know nothing at all about how damaging, dangerous and destructive the whole exploitation of the earth's resources is for the planet itself and creates an imbalance on it, as this also affects the earth's plates, which normally rub against each other or push over each other, whereby slight earth tremors up to very severe earthquakes can be the result.
Something that also happens naturally and is normal for the planet. However, as a result of the immense exploitation of the earth's resources, the entire relationship of the natural planetary relationships is out of kilter, resulting in natural occurrences that can only be attributed to the ignorance and guilt of human beings. This means, of course, that not only the planet, but also all its ecosystems, and thus of course nature with all its fauna and flora, as well as the atmosphere and the climate, are affected and badly affected.”_

**) Ptaah in CR 831
https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/Contact_Report_831

"107. He [Sfath, Ptaah's father) also wrote that the exploitation of the Earth's resources had changed the internal balance of the Earth and that the magma masses were shifting positionally into the future, whereby the entire magnetism of the Earth was changing together with the influences of the sun, and consequently the position of the North Pole had also been shifting for some time."

** *) Billy in CR 833:
"Well, there is something else, because the war is not all, which would have ended after only 16 days without the interference of the Western countries, because what happens from now on will be the fault of these stupid people alone. But there is something else, namely an imminent danger also lurks from the depths of space, which the earthling will probably not be able to face. Just as in Yucatán an asteroid heavily studded with nickel, chromium and iron altered the all-encompassing course of life on Earth, unleashing a seismic wave 7 kilometres per second across the entire Earth and wiping out 85% of all life, so will …"

** **) Quetzal in CR 215 (1987)
https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/Contact_Report_215

284. All of this will lead to increasingly horrible floods and unusually massive snowfalls which will advance to the southern countries and finally even to the equatorial regions because through the insanity of human beings the Earth has imperceptibly begun to spin as a result of the atomic bomb explosions within and on the Earth.
285. And this will be the reason that the planet will slowly but surely enter an unusual*) spinning orbit around the Sun, while the first phase is already (the meaning is at the day of the 1987 CR 215) occurring, which causes a change in climate, leading to a new ice age.
     *) The FoM translation (‘extraordinary’) may not convey the irregularity - the German word lit. translated means ‘outside of what it used to be’
