Unlike any national or world leader, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is quite distinguished in that he is virtually the only voice who has publicly and consistently expressed his connection and experiences with so-called UFOs. The blessed night of Minister Farrakhan’s famous vision-like experience occurred on September 17, 1985 in Tepotzlan, Mexico from a mountain that he had climbed many times throughout his visits there. Both the time and location of this experience hold divine significance. It is from such mountainous settings that his vision was foretold in the sacred scriptures:

And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, – Revelation 21:10 (KJV)

After the Minister’s experience with the great Mother Wheel and a smaller wheel, and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in 1985, Tepotzlan became a haven for UFO sightings and activities. Several local inhabitants and tourists photographed and filmed some of the most credible images of these luminous circular crafts. One of such persons was Carlos Diaz who became internationally recognized for his recorded footage and photographs of these objects in and around Tepotzlan, Mexico. Mexican TV journalist and UFOlogist—Jaime Maussan, took Diaz’s photographs to Jim Dilettoso, an image processing expert who concluded that his photos and videos were genuine.

Why Tepotzlan, Mexico? This location represents a spiritual journey to the ancient home of Quetzalcoatl who is considered the Christ-type figure to the indigenous people of that area associating it with a messianic-type figure and experience.

One of the most mindboggling factors associated with Minister Farrakhan’s vision from Tepotzlan has to do with the Biblical calculations that signify its authenticity. Before modern Bible scholars were able to pinpoint the dates and times of Biblical events, Minister Farrakhan had been proclaiming the majesty of the vision-like experience, which occurred September 17, 1985. One of the scriptures forecasting this vision-like experience occurs in the 8th Chapter of Ezekiel. The prophet Ezekiel, who is most commonly associated with these flying wheels, was given a vision that reads in traditional Bibles in this manner:

And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me. Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber. And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain. – Ezekiel 8:1-4, King James Version

This vision describes a man who is being lifted in the spirit and shown the heavenly signs of God in what is understood to be the New Jerusalem. Even more astonishing is that years after the Minister’s vision on September 17, Biblical scholars developed the New Living Translation Bible that was designed to offer more up-to-date calculations of Biblical dates. In this translation the same passage from Ezekiel reads as such:

Then on September 17, during the sixth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, while the leaders of Judah were in my home, the Sovereign LORD took hold of me. I saw a figure that appeared to be a man. From what appeared to be his waist down, he looked like a burning flame. From the waist up he looked like gleaming amber. He reached out what seemed to be a hand and took me by the hair. Then the Spirit lifted me up into the sky and transported me to Jerusalem in a vision from God. I was taken to the north gate of the inner courtyard of the Temple, where there is a large idol that has made the LORD very jealous. Suddenly, the glory of the God of Israel was there, just as I had seen it before in the valley. – Ezekiel 8:1-4, New Living Translation

Is this a coincidence that Ezekiel’s foretold vision occurred on the exact same day (September 17) as the Minister’s vision? The first edition of the New Living Translation was published in 1996. This happened 11 years after Minister Farrakhan’s vision–like experience. The theological developers of this Bible translation did not consult with the N.O.I. for this calculation. Such mathematical precision only validates the awesome power of Allah’s prophecies and the authenticity of his servant’s experience.

As if that was not enough, Minister Farrakhan’s September 17 communication with the (believed dead) Honorable Elijah Muhammad would hold further significance. One of the most famous international UFO abduction cases occurred on this date 12 years after Minister Farrakhan’s vision. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, President of the Republic of Kalmykia in the Russian Federation from 1993 to 2010, made international headlines when he reported being abducted by people from a circular UFO. Aside from his reputation as an international leader, Ilyumzhinov is also the President of FIDE, also known as the World Chess Federation, the world’s pre-eminent international chess organization since 1995. Therefore his friendly UFO abduction was not taken lightly. His encounter with these people occurred on September 17, 1997 while he was residing in his high-rise Moscow apartment. He told The Guardian newspaper some of this event:

They took me from my apartment and we went aboard their ship…  We flew to some kind of star. They put a spacesuit on me, told me many things and showed me around. They wanted to demonstrate that UFOs do exist.

Clearly, if these UFO pilots whom Ilyumzhinov described as “people like us,” wanted to show him that these planes exist, they picked a truly significant day. Obviously they used a credible international figure to offer more credence to the Minister’s September 17th experience. These type of patterns show that the Minister does not speak out of vain desire, but that he was shown some of the mightiest signs from his Lord.

Although President Ilymzhinov has spoken publicly about his encounter to the world for several years, these reports have somehow not reached the pages of America’s media. How is it that such internationally newsworthy information regarding an influential head of state has not reached the American public? Is this part of the mainstream effort to withhold prominent UFO facts from the people in order to keep them from the truth being offered by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan?
