Rael originally indicated that the volcano where he had his ET encounter was called Puy-de-la-Vache. His latest compilation book, Intelligent Design does NOT mention that name anymore. It has been replaced by the name of a volcano next to it called Puy-de-Lassolas.
Very early versions of his 1st book had a footnote correcting the mistake. Subsequently, in his 2nd book, he actually admits making a mistake. Trouble is, the correct name of the volcano is Puy-de-Lassolas... earlier versions (both French and English) had 2 spellings: (1) Puy-de-Lassola (2) Puy-de-la-Sola.
Current versions of Rael's books do not contain his admission anymore. Confusing where exactly he had his ET encounter does question his credibility.
1998 Thai version of Rael's first two books based on an earlier English version. Rael names the volcano where he had his ET encounter as Puy-de-la-Vache in his original manuscript. Later versions contained a footnote indicating a mistake as shown above.
Rael repeated the same mistake in a July 1974 interview with a magazine: https://web.archive.org/web/20110921054654/http://www.rael.free.fr/75/75rustica.htm
1992 version of Rael's first two books. The name of the volcano is misspelled as Puy-de-Lassola (with no "s" at the end)
1992 version of Rael's first two books. The name of the volcano is misspelled in its phonetic form Puy-de-La-Sola in his 2nd book (left above).
The sentence where Rael admits his mistake (right above) is NOT found in current versions of Rael's books. He covered up his mistake...
Notice Rael wearing steel-framed glasses. We can assume he was wearing glasses when he had his encounter... problem is, his ET contact forbid him to bring any metallic objects! He also brought along a pen instead of a pencil. ( Intelligent Design, p. 9-10)
Satellite image of Puy-de-Lassolas and Puy-de-la-Vache. Notice the former isn't exactly circular (south-eastern part of the crown was blown off from the volcano) while the latter is.
This is how Rael describes the volcano: "I was just about to leave and looked for the last time towards the top of the circular mountain, which was formed by an accumulation of volcanic slag." (Intelligent Design, p. 4)

Rael poses with Puy-de-Lassolas in the background... it's hardly a crater. The volcano next to it (not shown, right) called Puy-de-la-Vache has a more pronounced crater (see below). Rael confused which is which and indicated that the volcano where he had his ET encounter was Puy-de-la-Vache in his very first edition of his 1st book.
