This event was documented in a secret memorandum released in 1974 under the provisions of the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, and in news reports and photos published by the Los Angeles Times newspaper. It was also witnessed by thousands of people on the ground in and around the Los Angeles area. We also reviewed the scientific principles of deductive reasoning and Ockham�s razor, as two methods of linking what is known to this world as U.F.O.s, to the Nation of Islam and the man we know and recognize as The Best Knower among us, Master Fard Muhammad.

At this point the question must be asked: Can a connection between the events of February 25, 1942 and the Nation of Islam be made by using the scientific principles of deductive reasoning and Ockham�s razor?

If we apply the scientific criteria of Ockham�s razor, which again states that the simplest explanation for an event is the most plausible, and that any attempt to explain the unknown must start with what is already known, the answer to the above question becomes clear.

By employing the test of Ockham�s razor to the possible scenarios one can imagine to explain the events of February 25, 1942, we are confronted with the following:

Scenario No. 1: The events of Feb. 25,1942 represented some form of mass hysteria or hallucination on the part of the thousands of people who witnessed it.

Test of Ockham�s razor: This scenario might have made sense, except for the fact that military antiaircraft shells have never been known to burst against or bounce off of hallucinations and land on homes and other buildings, destroying them in the process!

Scenario No. 2: The events of Feb. 25, 1942 represented some super top-secret weapon employed by either Germany, Japan, Italy or one of the other Axis powers at war with America during WWII. Or maybe it represented a top-secret project of the U.S. government, using some super technology that was unknown to the world then, and is still unknown to the world now.

Test of Ockham�s razor: This scenario fails to explain why if the Axis powers had in their possession such super technology, it was never employed again in defense of themselves and against America in the war effort. The same would apply to America; if she possessed such technology why was it never used again in the war effort? And why would the U.S. government deploy this technology against its own military, over a civilian population center? This scenario falls too far into the realm of the unknown, and must be eliminated as a plausible explanation for these events.

Scenario No. 3: Space aliens from some unknown planet came to earth, and decided to appear over Los Angeles on Feb. 25, 1942 the eve of Master Fard Muhammad�s birthday, in space vehicles fitting the description of the very wheels he told the Honorable Elijah Muhammad would appear over America�s cities.

Test of Ockham�s razor: Unless we can prove that Master Fard Muhammad was himself a space alien, working in conjunction with space aliens, or both, this scenario is illogical, and again falls too far into the realm of the unknown to be a plausible, verifiable explanation for the events of Feb. 25, 1942.

Scenario No. 4: The giant vehicle, along with the 15 smaller vehicles which appeared in the skies over Los Angeles on Feb. 25, 1942, on the eve of his 65th birth anniversary, were in fact the man-made Mother Wheel or Plane, along with some of the smaller wheels that Master Fard Muhammad had been teaching his followers about for more than 10 years prior to their February 1942 appearance. The appearance of the Mother Wheel on this occasion represented not only a sign of the man who revealed the reality of its existence to the world; but it also represented a Saviour�s Day message, to this nation�s rulers, that a greater power (the power of God) than the powers of this world was now present!

Test of Ockham�s razor: The preceding scenario, as mind-boggling as it may seem to some, is the only scenario that is actually based on information that was known, and in fact had been taught in many circles by Master Fard Muhammad and his student, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, for at least 10 years prior to the 1942 events!

Everything from the description of these craft, their relative size and dimensions (a huge Mother craft, accompanied by several smaller craft ), their ability to travel at enormous speeds, along with the timing of their appearance point to a quantifiable connection between these mysterious wheels and the scientific knowledge of them that was revealed to the world by Master Fard Muhammad prior to that time.

With all of these facts considered, scenario number 4 would certainly seem to pass the test of Ockham�s razor as the most plausible explanation for the events of Feb 25 and 26, 1942!

As stated in Part I of this article, the scientific method of deductive reasoning can be used to prove the reality of a statement, concept, or event.

In short, the scientific principle of deductive reasoning states that any given conclusion is true, if the premises leading to that conclusion are also true. It is often expressed in arguments in which two premises are given and a logical conclusion is deduced from them. For example: Premise No.1: All human beings are mortal; + Premise No. 2: I am a human being = Conclusion: Therefore, I am mortal.

In the case of the events of Feb. 25, 1942, the scientific principles of deductive reasoning would apply in the following manner:

Premise No.1: Master Fard Muhammad (who was born on Feb. 26, 1877), starting in the early 1930�s, taught the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and other followers in the Nation of Islam about the existence of a giant wheel-like plane, which contained fifteen-hundred smaller planes, that was built by "the finest brains." He taught his followers that these planes possessed technology that was beyond the scientific development of any weapons possessed by the governments and powers of this world. He taught that these planes were made for the purpose of destroying Satan�s world.

Combine that with Premise No. 2: On Feb. 25, 1942 (the eve of Master Fard Muhammad�s 65th birth anniversary), an enormous wheel-like craft accompanied by at least 15 smaller craft (fitting the general description of the wheels that Master Fard Muhammad taught his followers about) appeared over the city of Los Angeles, engaging the military forces of the U.S. government, and displaying a technology beyond anything known to exist in this world. The appearance of these wheel-like crafts were timed in such a way that allowed for the memo or report of this event to reach the desk of then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt on Feb. 26, which is the birthday of Master Fard Muhammad (Saviour�s Day, 1942).

Brings us to the Conclusion: The existence of what is known to this world as U.F.O.s, is directly connected to Master Fard Muhammad, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam!
