Ancient Flying Matchiens (IV)
Ancient Writings tell of UFO visit in 4,000 B.C.Contributed by John Burrowshttp://www.asiafinest.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t27067.html
India, according to Dr.V. Raghavan, retired head of the Sanskrit department of India's prestigious University of Madras, was alone in playing host to extraterrestrialsin prehistory. Dr. Raghavan contends that centuries-old documents in Sanskrit (theclassical language of India and Hinduism) prove that aliens from outer space visitedhis nation."Fifty years of researching this ancient works convinces me that there are livingsbeings on other planets, and that they visited earth as far back as4,000 B.C., "The scholar says.
"There is a just a mass of fascinating information aboutflying machines, even fantastic science fiction weapons, that can be foundin translations of the Vedas (scriptures), Indian epics, and other ancientSanskrit text."
"In the Mahabharata (writings), there is notion of divine lighting and ray weapons,even a kind of hypnotic weapon. And in the Ramayana (writings), there is adescription of Vimanas, or flying machines, that navigated at great heights with theaid of quicksilver and a great propulsive wind. "These were space vehicles similar tothe so-called flying saucers reported throughout the world today.
The Ramayana
even describes a beautiful chariot which 'arrived shining, awonderful divine car that sped through the air'. In another passage, there is mentionof a chariot being seen 'sailing overhead like a moon.' "The references in theMahabharata are no less astounding: `At Rama`s behest, the magnificent chariot rose up to a mountain of cloud with atremendous din.` Another passage reads: `Bhima flew with his Vimana on anenormous ray which was as brilliant as the sun and made a noise like the thunder of a storm." In the ancient Vymanka-Shastra (science of aeronautics), there is adescription of a Vimana: "An apparatus which can go by its own force, from oneplace to place or globe to globe." Dr. Raghavan points out, "The text`s revelationsbecome even more astounding. Thirty-one parts-of which the machine consists-aredescribed, including a photographing mirror underneath.The text also enumerates 16 kinds of metal that are needed toconstruct the flying vehicle: `Metals suitable, lighare 16 kinds.`But only three of them are known to us today. The rest remainuntranslatable." Another authority who agrees with Dr.Raghavan`s interpretations is Dr. A.V. Krishna Murty, professor of aeronautics at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. "It istrue," Dr. Krishna Murty says, "that the ancient Indian Vedas andother text refer to aeronautics, spaceships, flying machines,ancient astronauts. "A study of the Sanskrit texts has convincedme that ancient India did know the secret of building flyingmachines-and that those machines were patterned afterspaceships coming from other planets."The Vedic traditions of India tell us that we are now in the Fourth Age of mankind.The Vedas call them the "The Golden Age", "The Silver Age", and "The Bronze Age"and we are now, according to their scriptures in the "The Iron Age". As we approachthe end of the 20th century both Native Americans, Mayans, and Incans, propheciesclaim that we are coming to the end of an age. Sanskrit texts are filled withreferences to Gods who fought battles in the sky using Vimanas equipped withweapons as deadly as any we can deploy in these more enlightened times.

***For example, there is a passage in the Ramayana which reads:
The Puspaka car that resembles the Sun and belongs to my brother wasbrought by the powerful Ravan; that aerial and excellent car goingeverywhere at will.... that car resembling a bright cloud in the sky.".. andthe King [Rama] got in, and the excellent car at the command of theRaghira, rose up into the higher atmosphere."
In the
Mahabharata
, an ancient Indian poem of enormous length, we learn that anindividual named Asura Maya had a Vimana measuring twelve cubits incircumference, with four strong wheels. The poem is a veritable gold mine of information relating to conflicts between gods who settled their differencesapparently using weapons as lethal as the ones we are capable of deploying.Apart from 'blazing missiles', the poem records theuse of other deadly weapons. 'Indra's Dart'operated via a circular 'reflector'. When switchedon, it produced a 'shaft of light' which, whenfocused on any target, immediately 'consumed itwith its power'. In one particular exchange, thehero, Krishna, is pursuing his enemy, Salva, in thesky, when Salva's Vimana, the Saubha is madeinvisiblein some way. Undeterred, Krishnaimmediately fires off a special weapon: 'I quicklylaid on an arrow, which killed by seeking outsound'.
