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.

They also believe that Elijah Muhammed is IN a UFO orbiting the earth and that an evil black scientist created white people. That'd be awesome if it was true, I think being called a white devil is funny anyway

Not sure if Farrakhan is going to actually present evidence or if this is just him rambling about some crazy vision that he has had. Either way he will be portrayed as insane.

It's the latter. UFOs have been part of the Nation of Islam's mythology since the time of Elijah Muhammed, who first introduced the idea, believing this "Mother Plane" to be the Wheel of Ezekiel. However, it is not aliens. Nation of Islam mythology makes it clear that the "Mother Plan" was built on Earth by humans millennia ago.
It is important to note that while the Nation of Islam shares its name and some beliefs with more traditional branches of Islam, it is considered a heretical cult by other branches. Nation of Islam integrates parts of Islam, Christianity, fringe Ufology and cult-of-personality aspects. It, for all intents and purposes, is not Islam.
