The Nation of Islam, long known for its promotion of black nationalism and self-reliance, now is calling attention to another core belief that perhaps isn't so well-known: the existence of UFOs.
When thousands of followers gather in suburban Chicago this weekend for the group's annual Saviours' Day convention, one of the main events will include a panel of scientists discussing worldwide UFO sightings, which they claim are on the rise.
The idea of seeking the divine in the skies is deeply rooted in the Chicago-based Nation of Islam, whose late leader Elijah Muhammad detailed in speeches and writings a massive hovering object loaded with weapons he called "The Mother Plane" -- although religion experts, Nation of Islam leaders and believers offer very different interpretations of what exactly happens aboard the plane, its role or how it fits into religious teachings.

I've long suspected that Farrakhan's mind doesn't operate in this Universe.
Is this the same Farrakhan who had 20K+ people at the Chigaco civic ctr, including the Justice Bros.and everyone who is someone in the civil rights movement on there feet cheering wildly he he called homosexuality a “bigger threat to the Black family than drugs and racism”?
Well, just to pull peoples' heads out of the clouds and get their feet firmly implanted back here on Earth, let's just look at the meaning of that acronym, UFO:
Unidentified Flying Object
Now, what's got you in such a tizzy about that? Or Louis Farrakhan for that matter? Or anybody who gets their panties in a wad about it, pro or con?
It's the conclusions that are reached about the nature of them. That there actually are unidentified flying objects gave rise to the acronym. We didn't know what they were. It's still used for flying objects, the identity of which is unknown.
Now, take a deep breath and settle down. Jumping to conclusions about someone else jumping to conclusions seems to have unsettled you, somehow.

His mind doesn’t operate in any universe.
