The Motherplane: Fact or Fiction

According to THE Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Mother Ship is a huge circular craft a half mile by half mile in size. It serves as, among other things, a carrier for 1,500 smaller crafts called Baby Planes which are the disked shaped crafts labeled "UFO’s" by the press. The Mother Ship or Wheel is said to travel at 9,000 mile/hour, in any direction, without making a complete turn. The Baby Planes have the same maneuverability. They are also called Bomber Plans because each on caries three highly explosive bombs (said to be 30% more powerful than those used by America).

According to Muhammad, the Mother ship and her fleet of Baby Planes were built on a Niponese Island situated off the cost of Japan. They were built by a fraternity of Black Scientists which has been operating clandestinely for thousands of years. Construction of the craft began in 1909 and was completed in 1929, the year it took flight. One million dollars in gold were covertly drawn from the treasury of Mecca every year to finance this operation, at a total cost of $20 million ($100 million is reported to have been drawn from the treasury, but the rest went into other operations.) The Blue Prints were made in the Holy city Mecca thousands if years ago and turned over to the Japanese at the time of the operation. The motor was built in China over the course of nine years.

This fraternal order of Black Scientists, which we shall elaborate on later, spent a year recruiting the best minds from the Aboriginal Nation to work on this project. 25, 000 Workmen were assembled from various non-white countries. Each Scientist and workman worked on a specific part of the craft which they had no knowledge of. Security on this project was of paramount importance as to not alert the western governments who would have attempted to arrest this development. The Niponese Islands were best suited for this purpose. The entire population of 500 islands looks exactly alike and is space so tightly, they provide heavy camouflage. Once one departs from an island, it is almost impossible to return to that same island. Maintaining compass direction is difficult because of the high magnetic interference.

The construction of the Wheel was undertaken in an underground shelter that was excavated for this operation. The shelter was 1,000 feet deep and 5,280 feet in width. The walls and ceilings were crystallized to protect against magnetic radiation bombardment and to provide light which maintained a constant temperature on 75.04 degrees in the shelter. The temperature was never under or over the then thousandth of 75 degrees. This was for the special metal that was used to build the craft. This was the only temperature at which the metal would fuse together (there was no welding or seams used). The metal was mined in Outer Mongolia and around the Gobi Desert.

The Mother Ship or Wheel displays the supremely advanced level of scientific and mathematical understanding possessed by this hidden civilization. The motor is actually six motors enclosed in one big motor measuring 1,320 feet in diameter. It is designed to take in oxygen from the atmosphere and convert it into electro-magnetic energy which is distributed throughout the craft. This energy causes the metal of the craft to pulsate or breathe. The craft is able to produce it’s own gravity and travel on the lines of magnetic force, allowing it to reach astonishing speeds.

There is reportedly a radar television system within the Mother Ship so advanced it allows its pilots to read the names of street signs from 300 miles above the earth. The craft also employs an infer-red system that enables the pilots to see five miles within the earth’s crust.

The fraternal order responsible for the craft, according to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, is an anonymous society of 24 Black Men divided into two groups of twelve (Minor and Major groups). The Twelve Major Scientist are said to be the ruling government of a hidden civilization of non-whites who are highly advanced spiritually as well as technologically. This hidden civilization of "gods," which we shall discuss further shortly, represent the remnant of that original "God Tribe" which existed on the earth prior to the Fall of Man 50,000 years ago. We discussed this in detail in The Book of God. These Twenty-Four Scientists are said to represent the best minds of the Black Nation. The Best Knower from among the Twelve Majors sits enthroned as Judge of the Assembly and King of all the gods. He is said to possess enormous supernatural powers and abilities. According to Elijah Muhammad, Master Fard Muhammad was/is the current Judge or King.

These twelve are identified with the Hidden Masters of Occultism. They are said to clandestinely rule over all secret societies and fraternal orders. According to The Trail of the Serpent,

"…the higher grades of all hermetic societies ‘require that the adept be enslaved by some astute mind or group of minds which, it would seem, seek to rule the nations through hypnotically controlled adepts…for one and all of these modern Mysteries are ruled by some unknown hierarchy…"

It is this "unknown hierarchy" to which Giuseppe Mazzini, lord of the Alta Vandita, referred in 1871. The Alta Vandita was the highest lodge of the blackest Freemasonry in France, Germany, and England. In a letter to his comrade Dr. Breidenstine a few years before his death, Mazzini said:

The most shocking aspect of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s teachings on the Mother Ship is the reason for which it was created. According to Muhammad, the Wheel has one primary purpose: to usher in the Destruction of the Western World, the enemy of God and of righteousness. The white race is said to have been given 6,000 years to rule the earth, which they did with bloodshed, tyranny, licentiousness and deceit. Accordingly, the Apocalypse is the time when God (the fraternal order and their Judge) breaks western hegemony and punishes the people for their six thousand-year abuse of the aboriginal peoples of the earth.

"The Wheel, the Mother Ship, is one of the greatest wonders of man, in making military weapons…The Mother Plane was made to destroy this world of evil and to show the wisdom and mighty power of the God who came to destroy an old world and set up a new world. "

The Baby Planes each carry three bombs. The bombs are attached to drills that, when they hit the surface of the earth, will drill one to six miles before it explodes.

"These bombs, when they strike the earth, will start right into the earth. These bombs have timers and motors which, when they strike the earth, automatically turn on and take the bombs one mile into the earth before the explosion. When they explode it sends up a mountain one mile high. That is a powerful bomb…These mountains pulling up out of the earth from that blasting by the bomb, will kill people for fifty miles around the crater."

These planes will take one trip across America, who is regarded as that Mystery Babylon (which is why America has most of the UFO sightings), dropping bombs. America will be engulfed in flames that will burn for 300 years. When the fires finally subside, America will be uninhabitable for six centuries. Three bombs will be dropped on England and she will be destroyed.

The defense apparatus of these craft precludes any harm coming to them or their crew.

When America thinks that she is going after this Plane…then those scientists on the Plane go to work and create a barrier (force field-author) so that she can’t come forward towards the Plane. She can not shot at it…They are going to get rid of (America’s) jets on the ground first…(The Scientists) will destroy all of America’s airplane bases which will also destroy her planes that you now see running up in the air at the speed of sound or faster…There are Scientists on it (the Plane) who know every spot where America has her dreadful planes, searching around with deadly weapons, seeking to destroy the Mother Plane."

Though public statements issued by governmental agencies give the impression that UFO’s are purely fictitious entities, behind the scenes practically every government on earth has been scrambling to cope with a true menace flying around in our skies which they acknowledge as a grave concern. In a July 1947 FBI/Army intelligence report, the FBI and Army concluded:

"This flying saucer situation is not all imaginary or seeing too much in some natural phenomenon. Something is really flying around"

On September 23, 1947, Lieutenant General Nathan Twining, Commanding General of Air Material Command, sent a secret memo to Brigadier General George Scgulgen, Chief of the Air Intelligence Requirements Division at the Pentagon. The memo was in response to request from Air Intelligence concerning "flying disks" and reflected the conclusions of a recent conference attended by personnel from the Air Institute of Technology, Intelligence T-2; the Office, Chief Engineering Division; and the Aircraft, Power Plant, and Propeller Laboratories of Engineering Division T-3. The memo read in part:

On December 30, 1947 General Twinning received a security coding for his "Project Saucer," the first governmental study of the UFO phenomenon. Project Saucer was changed to "Project Sign" and responsibility was given to Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.

On September 15, 1950, Wilbert Smith, Senior Radio Engineer of the Canadian Department of Transportation, interviewed Lt. Col. Bremner of the Canadian Defense Attaché at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. and Dr. Robert Sarbacher, Director of Research for WEDD Laboratories and consultant to the U.S. Government’s Research and Development Board (R&DB). The interview concerned the "flying saucer" phenomenon. On November 21, 1950, Smith forwarded a memo containing the substance of this interview to C.P. Edwards, Director of the Canadian Department of Transportation. It stated:

The CIA even expressed great concern over the mysterious and unidentified craft flying around its skies. On December 2, 1952, H. Marshall Chadwell, Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence, sent a secret memo to the CIA Director stating:

On June 29, 1954, a British Overseas Airways Corporation Boeing Stratocruiser, G-ALSC, Flight 510-196, commanded by Captain James Howard, left New York for London via Goose Bay. Thirty minutes after takeoff, Captain Howard was rerouted to Cape Cod without explanation. As he crossed the St. Lawrence estuary near Seven Islands, Quebec, he saw some strange objects moving parallel to the plane and at the same speed. He said in his report that the "shy was clear, visibility unlimited." The objects fly parallel with the plane for twenty minutes, giving Captain Howard and several passengers the opportunity at a good look. In his report Howard stated:

After ten minutes, Howard asked his co-pilot, Lee Boyde, to radio ground control for information. They told Boyd they had an F-94 on patrol which they would vector toward the Boering. As Boyd was talking to the fighter, something strange occurred:

Another interesting encounter with the mother ship and Her Baby Planes was reported by an Australian pilot in 1968. On August 22, Captains Gordon W. Smith and Walter Gardin of Murchison Air Services/Southern Airlines of Western Australia, were flying an empty Piper Navajo, registration VH-RTO, returning from Adelaide. Gordon Smith, in his report, stated that he was awakened from his sleep by Gardin who excitedly pointed out an object in the vicinity.

After radioing to Kalgoorlie Department of Civil Aviation, something even more errie occurred:

Captain Smith reported that immediately following the departure of the Mother Ship and Baby Planes, radio communications were restored. Air Chief Marshal Lord Downing, Commander-in-Chief of RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain in 1940, stated that this craft had "been tracked on radar screens...and the observed speeds have been as great as 9,000 miles an hour."

The most reliable Close Encounter reports confirm that the pilots of these craft are not "aliens" or emissaries from other planets. They are human beings, Scientists, who were supremely advanced in aviation and warfare. But these reports are always suppressed, in favor of the "Little Green or Gray Man" contact experience which, as we will show shortly, is completely fabricated. One of the most important of these authentic accounts comes from Papua, New Guinea in June, July, and August 1959. The observers were William B.Gill, an Anglican priest in charge of the mission to Boianai, Papua, and thirty others: six teachers and the remainder children. After the sighting, twenty-four signatures appeared on a statement testifying that they observed the phenomenon.

The first sighting took place on June 26. The report issued by Gill, and signed by the witnesses, read in part.

Several days later, Father Gill added an addendum to his report:

This is one of the few impeachable cases in ufology. Multiple witnesses, the duration of the sighting, and the integrity of the observers, make this the darling of UFOlogists.

Another close encounter experienced by a group occurred on the night of July 4, 1978 in Mount Etna, Sicily. Two Italian Air Force sergeants, Franco Padellero and Attilio di Salvatore, with Maurizio Esposito, an Italian Navy officer, were off duty that night when they noticed a triangle of three red lights pulsating in the sky above them at a distance. One of the lights suddenly separated from the others and approached the group. It disappeared, however, behind a nearby slope.

The group drove where the light had landed to investigate. As they looked over the edge, they saw a "saucer-shaped object about forty feet across, with a brilliant yellow (illuminated) dome."

"The rest of the object was of a reddish hue with blue and red lights of top. By the side of the craft were five or six very tall beings...with black overall-type tight-fitting suits...Their features were...HUMAN AND BEAUTIFUL."

As two of the men from the craft started to climb up the slope toward the witnesses, they (witnesses) found themselves immobilized by an unknown force. This is reminiscent of the effects that the appearance of the Scientists had on the Prophets. The men from the craft stop short of reaching the top of the slope and returned back to the saucer which by this time was glowing with yellow, red, and blue lights. When a car passed, the lights went out, only to resume again when the car was gone. After the witnesses recovered their mobility, they left the scene in a hurry, not waiting for the craft to depart. They all reported to have felt drained of all energy for some time after the event.

The human nature of the pilots of these craft was further confirmed by the censored accounts of the "Crashed Disc" incidents. Sister Tynetta Muhammad, the wife of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in a lecture delivered at Mosque Maryam in Chicago, Illinois, stated that Allah allowed some of the Baby Planes to crash to the earth so that the Devils could get a good look at the true pilots and realize what they (the Devils) were up against.

Every elementary student of the UFO enigma is by now well versed in the details of Roswell, New Mexico. Clearly, something indeed crashed on July 2, 1947 near the ranch of William Brazel. The wreckage was received by Major Jesse Marcell of the 509^th Bomb Group Intelligence Office at the base at Roswell Field. An official press statement issued by Lieutenant Walter Haut, public information officer at Roswell Air force Base, confirmed that wreckage of a flying disc had been recovered. The release was authorized by Colonel William Blanchard. The Roswell Daily Record printed a front page story on July 8 headlined, "RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region."

The question is not whether something crashed in Roswell, but whether "aliens" were recovered with wreckage. That is the key to understanding the origin of the wrecked craft. Major Marcell maintained that no bodies were among the debris. William Brazel, who first found the wreckage and alerted Marcell, died in 1963. His son Bill Brazel of Copitan, New Mexico, was interviewed in 1979 by UFO researcher Bill Moore. When asked if his father, who had shared all of the details concerning the incident with him, had ever mentioned anything about "creatures" connected with the wreckage, Bill answered, "No, Dad never mentioned anything like that."

According to the two primary witnesses, there were no bodies found at Roswell. The story of little dead bodies allegedly originated with Socorro, New Mexico resident Grady "Barney" Barnett. Barnett was a civil engineer with the US Soil Conservation Service. But his discovery of "little aliens" was reported years after he died by his "neighbors" L.W. Maltais and his wife Jean Swedmark Maltais. Barney allegedly confided in them in February 1950 details of his find. According to the Maltaises, Barney claimed to have witnesses the flying disk in the Soccoro area and had seen dead alien bodies. There was allegedly an archeological dig team from the University of Pennsylvania present who also witnessed the craft and aliens.

Needless to say, there is no corollary evidence for the Maltaises story. The Penn team never turned up. Barnett himself was never interviewed. J. F. Danly of Magdalena, New Mexico, under whom Barnett worked in 1940’s and fifties, remembered Barnett telling him about observing a flying saucer, but no bodies.

While it is possible that Grady Barnett saw a "crashed disk," there is no evidence that he observed alien bodies. Marcell saw none. Brazel saw none.

There is reason to believe, however, that there was another crash 150 miles west of Brazel’s ranch in the Plains of San Agustin. It is believed that what was found at Roswell was wreckage torn off from a UFO by a bolt of lightning. The UFO itself allegedly came down at San Agustin. It is again alleged that dead bodies were found. But these bodies were far from "alien."

Sergeant Melvin E. Brown, who was stationed at Roswell Army Air Field at the time (July 1947), says he stood guard outside a hanger where the recovered craft was temporarily held. According to his daughter, Beverly Bean, her father related to her and her siblings seeing "bodies."

This description of the so-called "aliens" as Chinese or otherwise Asian looking was echoed by Bill Devlin, an employee of a radio and television servicing company. In the spring of 1952, he was on a train in rout to Washington from Philadelphia. He sat next to a soldier who, in the course of a discusion of a newspaper article on UFO’s he was reading, confided in Devlin that he was one of three drivers who took the remains of a saucer from Aztec, New Mexico, to Fort Riley, Kansas, in a truck convoy consisting of three trucks. The soldier said he had seen the bodies and noted that they

"had human features (including teeth), and yellowish skin-somewhat "fuzzy," like a peach. They appeared to be male and female, as one of the figures ‘had bumps in the right places.’ He thought he counted ‘sixteen or so’ small bodies, but he did not know how many there actually were."

These descriptions are crucial to understanding the true nature of the 1947 Roswell events. Current ufological dogma speaks much about the so-called "extraterrestrial hieroglyphics" reported to have been discovered on parts of the wreckage. According to Bill Brazel, son of the discoverer of the Roswell wreckage, there was nothing extraterrestrial about the markings at all. He said concerning his fathers descriptions of the wreckage,

Brazel’s eldest sister, Lorraine Ferguson, confirmed the same. She said Bill described the marks as "the kind of stuff you find all over Japanese or Chinese firecrackers."

It is obvious from the description of the dead bodies and the marks found on the wreckage that the crashed vehicle had nothing to do with any alien civilization, but was Asian. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said the Mother Ship and her Baby Planes were built off the coast of Japan and the engine built in China. Many of the pilots were indeed Asian, not alien.

Another crash occurred in March, 1948 at Aztec, New Mexico. The details of this crash was first reported by columnist Frank Scully in his 1950 best-seller Behind the Flying Saucers. The source of Scully’s information was apparently a group of eight scientists. The primary source was reputedly Dr. Carl Heiland, owner of the Heiland Research and Exploration Company of Denver, Colorado and Dr. Leo GeBauer, owner of Western Electrical Supplies of Phoenix, Arizona. Both men worked on a Top Secret Magnetic Aerial Detection (MAD) anti-submarine project for the Allies during WWII.

According to Scully’s sources, a disk shaped craft came down near Aztec March 25, 1948. Investigators, later identified as the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit (IPU) of the Army’s Counterintelligence Directorate, recovered the wreckage and gained entry. Sixteen small bodies were allegedly found dead inside the cabin, burned to a dark brown color. According to Scully’s informants, their was nothing "alien" about these bodies; they were human in every respect with "perfect teeth."

There is corollary evidence that suggests Scully was not duped or deluded. As stated previously, Wilbert Smith of the Canadian Department of Transportation, in September 1950 interviewed Lt. Col. Bremner of the Canadian Defense Attaché in Washington D.C., and Dr. Robert Sarbacher, Director of Research for WEDD Laboratories and consultant to the U.S. Government’s Research and Development Board. Scully’s book had just been published and the stir prompted Smith to inquire about the UFO’s and the content of Scully’s book. According to Smith’s notes on that conversation, Sarbacher confirmed Frank Scully’s information:

In 1983, as President and Chairman of Washington Institute of Technology, Sarbacher confirmed again for researcher William Steinman that there was a recovery. In a letter to Steinman responding to questions Steim sent him concerning these craft, Sarbacher stated:

"About the only thing I remember at this time is that certain materials reported to have come from flying saucer crashes were extremely light and very tough. I am sure our laboratories analyzed them very carefully"

Thus, there were crashes and there were recoveries as Scully’s sources stated. But what about the "aliens"? Again, Scully’s sources said they were human; white men wearing 1890’s style clothing. The Wyandott Echo of Kansas City Kansas printed a headline story ("Came to Earth By Accident Says Rudy flick, Ford Dealer," 1-6-1950) which describes another leak from an engineer named "Coulter " to well known auto-dealer Rudy Dick. While in Denver, Dick’s meeting with local ford management was interrupted by a call from Coulter who arranged an immediate meeting. He revealed to the Ford dealers that he had been allowed to view crashed saucers that were in the governments possession. What is important is the description of the dead pilots that he and another engineer observed. They were "men almost identical with earth-dwelling humans, except for a few minor differences (Possibly cultural-author). They were a uniform height of three feet (midgets – author), were uniformly blond, beardless and there teeth were completely free of fillings or cavities."

The most authoritative testimony comes from Nicholas Von Poppen, photographer who had perfected the art of metallurgical close-up photography as it was applied to aerospace sciences. According to Bill Steinman, in November 1949, this Estonian refugee was called by Dr. Henry Wang, consultant to Wright Air Development Center on Aerodynamic Metallurgical Design for Structures Division, to photograph the recovered material and bodies from the Aztec crash. In his description of the bodies that he photographed, Von Poppen noted:

"The largest, who seemed to be the Captain, was four feet nine inches tall and weighed 35 pounds (very thin). The smallest and obviously the youngest, was 23 inches tall and weighed 22 pounds. THEY WERE WHITE MEN, with pale skin as if they had come from a cold world with little air (Arctic?). THEIR FACES WERE INTELLECTUAL AND REFINED IN APPEARANCE."

Now the head was a little bit large for the body. He was a little bit magacephalic. But after all, we see megacephalic little people ourselves. Many little people have heads a little too big. If these occupants were given children’s clothing, they could pass undetected on the streets of any large city like New York; they wouldn’t draw a glance,"

Though the War of Armageddon has not yet begun, there have been skirmishes in the sky. Some of them very ghastly in their implications. On September24, 1952, a four-page memorandum was sent to General Walter Bedell Smith, Director of the CIA (DCI) from H. Marshall Chadwell, Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence, concerning "unidentified flying objects."

2.It was found that the only unit of government currently studying the problem is the Directorate of Intelligence, ESAF, which has charged the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) with the responsibility for investigating the reports of sightings…A worldwide reporting system has been instituted and major Air Force bases HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO MAKE INTERCEPTIONS OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS…"

The Air Force was ordered to intercept these craft! This policy had disastrous consequences. The following year, General Benjamin Chidlaw, former Commanding General of Air Defense Command, told researcher Robert Gardner,

"We have stacks of reports of flying saucers. We take them seriously when you consider WE HAVE LOST MANY MEN AND PLANES TRYING TO INTERCEPT THEM"

In October 1982, an Englishmen wrote to UFO researcher Jacques Vallee after reading his book Messengers of Deception. The Englishmen lived just a few miles from Wethersfield U.S. Air Force Base. He wrote:

A much-edited document concerned the scrambling of a number of fighters to intercept a UFO; the fliers returned to base almost at once, as a result, it was implied, of some sort of collective amnesia. In many cases pilots involved in close encounters suffered physic damage of some obscure form and were transferred to other units."

One disastrous attempt at interception occurred over Michigan. On November 23, 1953 after the Air Defense Command Ground Control Intercept controller was alerted by an unidentified and unscheduled target on his radar over Soo Locks, Michigan, he scrambled an F-89C Scorpion jet from Kinross AFB. The jet was flow by Lieutenant Felix Moncla, Jr and Lieutenant R. R. Wilson. As the GCI controller vectored the F-89 to the unidentified target, he noted that the UFO changed course, heading in the direction of the jet. The jet closed the gap between itself and the UFO. As the controller advised the men that the target should be in their sight, the two blips on the GCI radarscope merged into one, as if they collided. A single blip remained on the scope and then suddenly vanished.

The controller flashed an emergency message to Search and Rescue. After an air/sea rescue search that lasted all night, no trace of the plane or the men were found. The Air Force press release read:

"…The plane was followed by radar until it merged with an object seventy miles off Keweenaw Point in upper Michigan.."

Incidents such as this reportedly prompted the US Navy in 1956 to issue orders to its pilots to engage UFO’s in combat if they appeared hostile. According to Navy physicist Dr. Bruce Maccabee, in the spring of 1959 an USAF jet was ordered to intercept an object off the coast of Japan (Nippon?) that was stationary on radar. The pilot was authorized to fire on the object, but the rockets had no effect on the UFO. Radar followed as the craft began chasing the jet. Then, suddenly, the two blips on radar merged, just as in the Michigan case. The object remained stationary for a while, then disappeared. Search and Rescue missions conducted over several days failed to find any trace of the jet or the pilot.

The US had to change its policy again. Major General Ramey of the Air Defense Command is reported to have instructed his pilots, "Intercept but don’t shoot except in the case of an obvious maneuver on the part of the UFO." According to UFOlogists Robert Carr, there have been over 1,000 failed attempts by the Air Force to shoot these craft down.

On February 25, 1942, a million California residents were woken by the scream of air raid sirens. At 2:15 a.m., radar picked up an unidentified target 120 miles out to sea. At 2:25, the cities of Los Angeles County had blacked out. At 3:18, the 37^th Coast Artillery Brigade’s anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) began firing batteries of 12.8 pound shells at "unidentified aircraft" coming in over the ocean. Searchlights pursued the craft through the sky. There was one "enormous UFO" and several smaller ones. Thousands of Los Angelinos witness the huge craft remain stationary as anti-aircraft shells bounced off of it. The Los Angeles Herald Express, published a picture of the event clearly showing the disked shaped UFO in the search lights, reported that many shells burst directly in the middle of the object and was not moved. The smaller UFO’s "arrived in formation and then appeared to dodge their way through AAA salvos at speeds of up to 5 miles per second." According to witness Paul T. Collins, the smaller UFO were consistently "appearing from nowhere and then zigzagging from side to side." Others would "mix and play tag with about 30 to 40 others moving so fast they couldn’t be counted accurately." The huge "mother ship" proceeded at a "leisurely pace" over the coastal cities between Long Beach and Santa Monica.

On February 26, 1942, Chief of Staff General George Marshall sent President Franklin D. Roosevelt a memorandum on the event which read in part:

…1. Unidentified airplanes, other than American Army and Navy planes, were probably over Los Angeles, and were fired on by elements of the 37^th CA Brigade (AA) between 3:12 and 4:15 a.m. These units expended 1430 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION (emphasis mine)

4. No casualties among our troops (three residents did die however-author)

6. No American Army or Navy planes were in action…"

A disturbing American incident reportedly occurred in 1964. Dr. Robert Jacobs, who later became Assistant Professor of Radio-Film-TV at the University of Wisconsin, was at the time of the incident first lieutenant in the Air Force. On September 15, 1964, he was responsible for the filming of missile tests at Vandenberg AFB in California. In order to have clear films of all missile test firings over the Pacific, according to Roberts, a TV camera affixed to a high-powered telescope was place on a mountain. What was caught on film on that day was nothing short of incredible. Roberts told researcher Timothy Good:

It’s been 17 years since the incident, and I’ve told nobody about it until now. I have been afraid of what might happen to me. But the truth is too important for it to be concealed any longer. The UFO’s are real. I know they’re real. The Air Force knows they’re real. And the U.S. government knows they’re real. I reckon it’s high time that the American public knows it too."

As Timothy Good pointed out, this was an incredible case of true Star Wars. And America lost.

Some of the most interesting cases were reported from the Soviet Union. According to science writer Alberto Fenoglio from Italy, who says he got the information from Soviet sources in the West, an incident occurred in the summer of 1961 near Rybinsk, 150 kilometers from Moscow. New missile batteries were being set up when a huge disk-shaped object surrounded by an assortment of smaller objects appeared 20,000 meters up. The battery commander panicked and gave an unauthorized order to fire a salvo at the giant object.

"The missiles were fired. All exploded when at an estimated distance of some two kilometers from the target, creating a fantastic spectacle in the sky. The third salvo was never fired, for at this point the smaller ‘saucers’ went into action and stalled the electrical apparatus of the whole missile base. When the smaller discoidal UFO’s had withdrawn and joined the larger craft, the electrical apparatus was again found to be in working order."

The larger craft apparently had some sort of "force field" around it which caused the shells to explode two km before reaching it. This is reminiscent of what Elijah Muhammad has stated about the Mother Ship.

"When America thinks that she is going after this Plane…then those Scientists on the Plan go to work and create a barrier so that she can’t come forward towards the Plane. She can’t shoot at it."

An even more sinister incident occurred in 1990 in Turkmenistan, one of the Turkic republics. At the time, the airspace in the region was under strict control because of the war in Afghanistan. The Soviet Air Defense Forces were divided up into regional Air Defense armies. The town of Mary fell under the control of the 12^th Air defense Army whose Air Defense division was commanded by Colonel Anatoli Kurcky.

On May 25, 1990, during the day light hours, a huge disk-shaped object hovered over the town of Mary at an altitude of 1,000 meters. Military personnel observed the craft from less than 3,000 meters away. When informed about the craft, Kurchy gave the order to fire three ground-to-air guided missiles at it. The UFO made a slight horizontal maneuver and disintegrated the missiles with beams of light emanating from its port side. The Colonel then ordered two interceptor jets scrambled. At approximately 1,000 meters from the UFO, the jets were thrown to the ground, killing the pilots and destroying the aircraft.

The Air Command immediately removed Colonel Kurchy from his post and, according to Paragraph 1, Item 5 of the Turkmenistan Criminal Procedures Code, military prosecutors of the 12^th Air Defense Army instituted procedures against him.

On June 9, 1974, Major Shiro Kubota and Lieutenant Colonel Nakamura of Japan’s Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) were flying an F-4EJ when a fatal encounter with an UFO occurred. According to Kubota’s report:

Toshio armed our 20mm cannon and closed in on the UFO. Suddenly, the object reversed direction and shot straight at us…Toshio threw the stick to the left and forced us into a sudden, violent dive. The glowing red UFO shot past-missing us by inches. Then it made a sharp turn and came at us again…The UFO began making rapid, high-speed passes at us, drawing closer and closer. Several times, the strange object narrowly missed us."

According to Kubota, the UFO then struck the Phantom jet, causing the pilots to eject. While Kubota landed safely, Nakamura’s parachute caught fire and he fell to his death.

During the Los Angeles air raid of 1942, the Mother Ship and her Baby Planes formally introduced themselves to the U.S. government. Even though Chief of Staff Marshal’s memo concluded that the "unidentified airplanes…may have been from commercial sources, operated by enemy agents for the purpose of spreading alarm," President Roosevelt apparently knew better. In September, by Executive Order, he had the FBI arrest Elijah Muhammad in Chicago. They confiscated all of Muhammad’s material concerning the Wheel, including a blackboard which contained pictures of the Wheel drawn by Muhammad and explanatory notes. In his statement to the FBI, Muhammad responded to their inquiries concerning the Mother Ship. When finally released, the FBI kept the blackboard.

Based on this information, Roosevelt then initiated plans for surviving an attack from the Wheel and its deadly fleet. He ordered the construction of a series of "hidden cities," communities built one mile underground. They were built on large platforms supported by giant springs to withstand the shockwaves caused by the bombs from the Baby Planes. Three of these hidden cities were built: one in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Northern Virginia; one in the Appalachian system along the west back of the Hudson, in the Catskill Mountains of south east New York; the other in Mount Diablo in central California east of Oakland. The Virginia hidden city is called Mount Weather and the New York City is called Iron Mountain.

These subterranean communities are complete with private apartments, streets, hospitals, water-purification systems, mass transit system, and power plants. An independent government consisting of a president, Cabinet, and federal departments is in place. Ted Gup, in his report in Time Magazine called "Doomsday Hideaway," notes:

The caves are said to be protected by steel doors that are 13 by 13 by 10 feet and take ten minutes to open. Only the President holds the three keys, and they are passed down from President to President. It is commonly believed that this program, called Continuity of Government (COG) Program was initiated by President Eisenhower. According to other sources, however, Eisenhower only inherited the Survival Plan that had been started by his predecessor.

When the bombing starts, selected government officials, prominent newsmen, and others pre-approved persons, will be airlifted to these cities by an elite unit of helicopter crews. The unit, the 2857^th Test Squadron, was initially stationed at Olmsted Air Force Base in Pennsylvania but later relocated to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. That squadron was made in-operational in 1970, being replaced by another unit.

The justification given for these underground cities has been that they are designed to survive a nuclear attack by an enemy state such as Russia or a terrorist country. But according to a CNN Special Assignment Report on this "Doomsday Government" as they called it, other considerations were involved in its construction. CNN Special Assignment Investigator David Lewis said in the November 17, 1991 broadcast,

"It is overseen directly by the White House because of it’s fundamental mission, to make sure that the constitutional government SURVIVES ARMAGEDDON (Emphasis mine)."

"Armageddon," the ultimate war between Good and Evil, God and Devil. Offensive preparations are said to have begun in the 60’s by the Air Force’s Directorate of Operational Intelligence. These programs were logged under USAF code number 7795 which was listed as anti-satellite weapons systems. Two of the earliest proposed programs were Project Saint and Project Blue Gemini.

Project Saint, short for Satellite Intercept, was an orbital UFO inspector according to researcher Howard Bloom. A television camera and a radar system were to be affixed to an Agena B satellite used by the CIA. After being launched by an Atlas rocket, Saint would get within fifty feet of the UFO and photograph it. These reconnaissance photos would then be relayed to NORAD.

Project Blue Gemini called for a militarily converted manual Gemini capsule from NASA to be launched so that it could "approach, capture and disable an uncooperative satellite or unidentified flying object."

Projects Saint and Blue Gemini never made it off of paper. What developed instead was Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) or "Star Wars." Many writers, such as William Cooper, former member of the Office of Naval Intelligence Briefing Team, believes that Star Wars is an operation specifically designed to do battle with the Wheel. Major Colman S. VonKeviczky of Russia told the Final Call Newspaper in 1989 that "the super powers, America and Russia, were actually planning to do battle with the UFO’s, and that the Star Wars Defense System was not aimed at Russia, but at UFO’s."

There is reason to believe such claims. The brains behind SDI are said to be the RAND Corporation (Research and Development Corporation). RAND is a civilian organization of elite scientists that does research and consulting work for the USAF. RAND has also been involved in UFO investigations. In the General Nathan Twinning memo which we cited earlier, he recommended that all UFO data be sent to various governmental agencies, including RAND. In fact, RAND joined the Scientific Advisory Board, the Weather Bureau, and the FBI, in the first attempt in 1948 at working out a preliminary plan for a standardized approach to studying the UFO problem. Phillip J. Corso, retired Army-intelligence officer, says in his The Day After Roswell,

Has there been any contact made between the U.S. Government and the pilots or even the Captain of these craft? Have representatives from the two warring sides ever sat down to, say, negotiate a preventive truce?

Tynetta Muhammad, the wife of Elijah Muhammad and assistant to his successor Louis Farrakhan, stated in an article in the Final Call that W.D. Fard did indeed meet with members of the Herbert Hoover Administration, including Hoover himself. There are also reports of a sensational meeting at Muroc AFB attended by President Eisenhower in 1954.

Eisenhower had gone to California in the middle of February for a golfing vacation. He stayed at his friends Paul Roy Helms Smoke Tree Ranch in Palm Springs. On February 20, 1954, Eisenhower mysteriously disappeared for four hours. Repeated phone calls to the ranch by the press only secured assurances that all was well. However, when several reporters got confidential sources to admit that the President’s whereabouts was actually unknown, the press went haywire. Press Secretary James Haggerty was snatched away from a steak cookout to make a statement. Rumors ranged from the President was taken to get "medical treatment" to the Associated Press’ claim that the President was dead (a claim which they were forced to retract). Press Secretary Haggerty finally held a press conference at the Mirador Hotel and affirmed that the President was fine. He had "knocked a cap off a tooth" while eating chicken and was rushed to a local dentist to have it repaired.

So that was it. The President just chipped a tooth. But was that it? Rumors spread that the "chipped tooth" alibi was just a cover for a secret emergency trip he had made to Edwards Air Force Base in Muroc. Those seem to have been confirmed by the publication of a letter sent by Gerald Light to Meade Layne, then director of Borderland Sciences Research Association (now Borderland Sciences Research Foundation) in April of 1954. Gerald Light was a writer and lecturer who had taken an interest in the occult. According to the letter, he accompanied journalist Franklin Allen of the Hearst newspapers, financier Edwin Nourse of the Brookings Institute, and Bishop (later Cardinal) James F. A. McIntyre of Los Angeles, to Edwards where he witnessed a sensational and shocking meeting between U.S. officials (including the President) and the forces behind the UFO’s. His letter read as follows:

This letter is immensely revealing. The whole tone of Gerald Lights description flies in the face of what orthodox UFOlogists describe as "the benevolent space brothers" who want to save our planet. Such words as "the distinct feeling that the world had come to an end with fantastic realism" and "For I had never seen so many human beings in a state of complete collapse and confusion as they realized that their own world had indeed ended with such finality as to beggar description" sounds more like the scenario painted by Elijah Muhammad than by Bill Cooper. The reaction from the American scientists to the technology and physics displayed by these craft and their pilots is also worth noting: "The mental and emotional pandemonium that is now shattering the consciousness of hundreds of our scientific "authorities" and all the pundits of the various specialized knowledge’s that make up our current physics. In some instances I could not stifle a wave of pity that arose in my own being as I watched the pathetic bewilderment of rather brilliant brains struggling to make some sort of rational explanation which would enable them to retain their familiar theories and concepts…To watch strong minds cringe before totally irreconcilable aspects of "science" is not a pleasant thing."

The most important detail of this letter is the way Light describes the pilots-"The Etherians." "Etherian" is a term applied to the Gods or residents of the subterranean kingdom. Because of their reputed ability to dematerialize and "disappear," their bodies were thought to be "of an elastic semi-material essence, etherial…and they may change their forms according to certain laws."

There are other allusions to a possible meeting between the two sides of this coming war. In 1959, space pioneer Dr. Wernher von Braun said, referring to the deflection from orbit of the US Juno 2 rocket:

"We find ourselves faced by powers which are far stronger than we had hitherto assumed, and whose base of operations is at present unknown to us. More I cannot say at present. WE ARE NOW ENGAGED IN ENTERING INTO CLOSER CONTACT WITH THOSE POWERS, and in six or nine months’ time it may be possible to speak with more precision on the matter."

It appears that the two combatants have met in secret. The true nature of those meetings and their outcome is hard to gage from the available evidence, but the fighting continues in the skies. And we are led ever more closely to that Day: the Day of Armageddon.

Dr. von Braun acknowledged the uncertainty with regard to the base of operations of these craft and their Mother Ship. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said the Wheel stays 40 miles above the earth’s surface for six to twelve months, then reenters to take in air from the atmosphere with huge suction devices for the crew. Muhammad says the primary base of operations is here on Earth where it was created, but there are reports of a possible auxiliary base on the Moon.

Reports of lunar UFO activity goes back to 1956. The University of Ohio reported receiving "code like radio chatter from the Moon." In October 1958,

The most astonishing evidence of a lunar UFO base came from the Apollo 11 landing on July 21, 1969. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin reportedly observed disc shaped craft on the Moon when they landed. This historic landing was of course televised for the whole world to see. Viewers heard Armstrong report to Mission Control that he observed a "light" in or on one of the craters. After mission Control requested more information, all sound was terminated. We watched the remainder of the landing in silence.

According to Otto Binder, former NASA employee, unnamed radio hams with their own VHF receiving facilities were able to bypass NASA’s broadcasting outlets. They captured the following exchange, according to Binder:

In 1979, Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA communications specialists and one of the conceivers and designers of the Apollo spacecraft, confirmed that Armstrong indeed reported seeing on the rim of a crater two enormous UFO’s. Soviet scientist Dr. Vladimir Azhazha, a physicist and Professor of Mathematics at Moscow University, confirmed the same.

"According to our information, the encounter was reported immediately after the landing of the module…Neil Armstrong relayed the message to Mission Control that two large, mysterious objects were watching them after having landed near the moon module. But his message was never heard by the public-because NASA censored it."

It is a matter of public record. The existence of the Mother Ship, her fleet, and their human pilots have been confirmed in reliable reports; reports which often emanated from reluctant governmental agencies or personnel. Believing in the existence of these craft is like believing in the Stealth Bomber. In fact, there have been more documented sightings from reliable witnesses and printed in reliable reports of these craft than even the Stealth Bomber. On the contrary, to disbelieve in these craft, in the face of the overwhelming evidence, is to be guilty of "blind faith." Blind faith is to believe, or disbelieve in something in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. A perfect example can be found with a Roman Catholic sect called the Flat Worlders. If we recall, the Roman Catholic Church during the so-called "Dark Ages" taught that the earth was flat and that the sum revolved around it. This erroneous belief was based on a misinterpretation of Genesis. Copernicus and Galileo stood up and gave scientific evidence that the religious decrees of the Church were wrong on that point. But they were both forced to recant. Religious dogma, backed by the power of ecclesiastical authority, took precedence over scientific truth.

Today we have aerial photos showing the spherical form of the planet. We know that the earth has a circumference of 29, 896 miles and travels around the sun at 17 miles per second. But today, believe it or not, there is a group called the Flat Worlders Society, a remnant of the Dark Age Roman Catholic Church, who still maintain that the earth is flat. In spite of all the mathematical proof to the contrary, they insist on adhering to the unfounded dogma of the past.

Those who disbelieve in the existence of these craft after the empirical evidence has been presented to them are of the same elk. They disbelieve, not for the lack of evidence, but in spite of the evidence. This is blind faith. Some have argued that, because they themselves never saw these craft or had any personal experience with them, they are obligated to disbelieve. These people argue that only that which can be experienced through one or all of the carnal senses is actually true. Some of these same individuals ritually quote a Lesson called Solar Facts in which is stated that Mars is 141, 500, 000 miles from the Sun or Platoon or Pluto is 4, 600, 000, 000 miles from the Sun. None of these individuals have experienced Mars, Pluto, or any of the other planets outside of Earth whose "Solar Facts" they simply take for granted. This is an unacceptable contradiction. Yes, there are pictures of Pluto, Mars, and the other planets. But there are also photographs of these craft which withstood scientific scrutiny.

It has been argued that the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad was speaking in metaphor and using allegory and that these craft are not to be taken literally. The empirical evidence that we presented above is PROOF that this is no allegory. The craft are real. The joint FBI/Army report of July 1947 was not reporting "allegories." Lieutenant General Nathan Twining wasn’t report "allegory." And it surely wasn’t an "allegory" that appeared over Los Angles in 1942. The 37^th Coast Artillery Brigade didn’t shoot 1430 rounds of 12.8 pound shells into the belly of an "allegory." And the 1 MILLION WITNESSES DID NOT SEE AN ALLEGORY. Clearly Project Saint and Project Blue Gemini were designed to go on the offensive against a physical threat, not an allegory.

No. The Honorable Elijah did make it clear that all of his teachings have a reality or meaning on all three plains: physical, mental, and spiritual. He also made it clear that they have a historical, present, and future significance. Thus, to point out his uses of allegory, as one holder of blind faith has recently done, does not prove that he didn’t mean it physically as well. He unquestionably did. The allegory was the Wheel of Ezekiel. The physical reality of the Wheel is the Mother Ship.
