Vimana
s “Indias who fought battles in the sky usiniwe c.” King Rama got in, and the excellent car at the command of the Raghir, rose up into the higher atmosphere.” David Hatcher Childress authored this fine book on Vimanas.
In the Mahabharata, an ancient Indian poem of enormous length, we learn that an individual named Asura Maya had a Vimana measuring twelve cubits (19 feet) in circumference, with four strong wheels. The poem is a veritable gold mine of information relating to conflicts between gods who settled their differences apparently using weapons as lethal as the ones we are capable of deploying now. Apart from ‘blazing missiles’, the poem records the use of other deadly weapons
. ‘Indra’s Dart’ operated via a circular ‘reflector’.
When switched on, it produced a ‘shaft of light’ which, when focused on any target, immediately ‘consumed it with its power’. In one particular exchange, the hero, Krishna, is pursuing his enemy, Salva in the sky. Salva’s Vimana, the Saubha is made invisible in some way. Undeterred, Krishna immediately fires off a special weapon: ‘I quickly laid on an arrow, which killed by seeking out sound’. Many other terrible weapons are described, in the Mahabharata, but the most fearsome of all is the one used against the Vrishis. The narrative records: “Gurkha flying in his swift and powerful Vimana hurled against the three cities of the Vrishis and Andhakas a single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe. An incandescent column of smoke and fire, as brilliant as ten thousand suns, rose in all its entire splendor. It was the unknown weapon, the Iron Thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and Andhakas.”
Weapon Hurled Against Cities
Mr. C. S. R Prabhu, quoting extensively from ancient texts, stressed that the pre-Mahabharata period was an age of high technology, which was ignored in the medieval period due to unknown reasons. He quoted from the texts of a great scholar, Subbaraya Sastry, who, in a state of yogic trance, is said to have orally dictated the spacecraft technology in a period somewhere between 1875 and 1919, which was recorded by his disciples. The text, a copy of which is still in Nepal’s Royal Library, contained technical details on
, fabricating and erecting a spacecraft, the metals, semi-conductors, advanced alloys used and other minute aeronautical information. Though quite difficult to believe in the face of it, the fact that this technology did not exist anywhere in the world – not even in America and Europe – in the mentioned period, makes it hard for one to disbelieve. The technical information given in Sastry’s texts was as minute, precise and clear, as if it were a `Make your own spacecraft’ or a `Spacecraft technology in 30 days’ except for the Sanskrit language used, which was very much archaic and obsolete, Mr. Prabhu said.
They can be cross correlated with similar reports in other ancient civilizations. The after-effects of this Iron Thunderbolt have an ominously recognizable ring. Apparently, those killed by it were so burnt that their corpses were unidentifiable. The survivors fared little better, as it caused their hair and nails to fall out suggesting nuclear radiation.
Perhaps the most disturbing and challenging information about these Vimanas in ancient records is that there are some matter-of-fact records, describing how to build one. In their way, the instructions are quite precise. In the Sanskrit Samarangana Sutradhara, it is written: “Strong and durable must the body of the Vimana be made, like a great flying bird of light material. Inside one must put the mercury engine with its iron heating apparatus underneath. By means of the power latent in the mercury which sets the driving whirlwind in motion, a man sitting inside may travel a great distance in the sky.
The movements of the Vimana are such that it can vertically ascend, vertically descend, and move slanting forwards and backwards. With the help of machines human beings can fly in the air and heavenly beings can come down to earth.” The Hakata (Laws of the Babylonians) states quite unambiguously: “The privilege of operating a flying machine is great. The knowledge of flight is among the most ancient of our inheritances. A gift from ‘those from upon high’. We received it from them as a means of saving many lives.” More fantastic still the information given in the ancient Chaldern work, The Several, which contains over one hundred pages of technical details on building a flying machine. It contains words which translate as graphite rod, copper coils, crystal indicator, vibrating spheres, stable angles, etc. Thanks to Ancient Indian Aircraft Technology
ANCIENT VIMANA AIRCRAFT Contributed by John Burrows. Sanskrit texts are filled with references to gods who fought battles in the sky using Vimanas equipped with weapons 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 was brought by the powerful Ravan; that aerial and excellent car going everywhere at will …. that car resembles a bright cloud in the sky.” “.. And King [Rama] got in, and the excellent car at the command of the Raghira, rose up into the higher atmosphere.”

Ananta Vasudeva Temple is thought to be the oldest Hindu Temple in India and its towers are topped with models of vimanas. Dozens of temples throughout the country have clever models of the Vimanas usually on top of a structure that is similar to a mountain. Ananta Vasudeva Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, an avatar of Lord Vishnulocated in Bhubaneswar, the state capital of Odisha, India. The temple was constructed in the thirteenth century, and Krishna, Balarama and Subhadra are worshipped there. It is important to note that these kinds of records are not isolated. They can be cross correlated with similar reports in other ancient civilizations. The after-effects of this Iron Thunderbolt have an ominously recognizable ring.

The Anti-Gravity Handbook by D. Hatter Chalders while it assumed that most flying saucers are of alien, or perhaps Governmental Military origin, another possible origin of UFOs is ancient India and Atlantis. What we know about ancient Indian flying vehicles comes from ancient Indian sources; written texts that have come down to us through the centuries. There is no doubt that most of hundreds of texts are authentic ancient Indian Epics themselves.
Most of them have not even been translated into English yet from the ancient writing. The Indian Emperor Ashoka started a “Secret Society of the Nine Unknown Men”: great Indian scientists who were supposed to catalogue the many sciences. Ashoka kept their work secret because he was afraid that the advanced science catalogued by these men, culled from ancient
The “Nine Unknown Men” wrote a total of nine books, presumably one each. Book number was “The Secrets of Gravitation!” This book, known to historians, but not actually seen by them dealt chiefly with “gravity control.” It is presumably still around somewhere, kept in a secret library in India, Tibet. One can certainly understand Ashoka’s reasoning for wanting to keep such knowledge a secret.
Only a few years ago, the Chinese discovered some Sanskrit documents in Lhasa, Tibet and sent them to the University of Chandrigarh to be translated. Dr. Ruth Reyna of the University said recently that the documents contain directions for building interstellar spaceships! Their method of propulsion, she said, was “anti- gravitational” and was based upon a system analogous to that of “laghima,” the unknown power of the ego existing in man’s physiological makeup, “a centrifugal force strong enough to counteract all gravitational pull.” According to Hindu Yogis, it is this “laghima” which enables a person to levitate. Dr. Reyna said the ancient Indians could have sent a detachment of men onto any planet, according to the document, which is thought to be thousands of years old. The manuscripts were also said to reveal the secret of “antima”; “the cap of invisibility” and “garima”; “how to become as heavy as a mountain of lead.”
Th e Chinese announced that they were including certain parts of the data for study in their space program!.
This was one of the first instances of a government admitting being researching anti-gravity. The manuscripts discuss a planned trip to the Moon, which is one of the great Indian epics, the Ramayana, does have a highly detailed story in it of a trip to the moon, and details a battle on the moon with an “Asvin” (or Atlantean”) airship. The so-called “Rama Empire” of Northern India and Pakistan developed at least
fifteen thousand years ago on the Indian subcontinent and was a nation of many large, sophisticated cities, many of which are still to be found in the deserts of Pakistan, northern, and western India. Rama existed, apparently, parallel to the Atlantean civilization in the mid- Atlantic Ocean and was ruled by “enlightened Priest-Kings” who governed the cities, The seven greatest capital cities of Rama were known in classical Hindu texts as “The Seven Rishi Cities.”
The ancient Indian epic describes a Vimana as a double deck, circular aircraft with portholes and a dome, much as we would imagine a flying saucer. It flew with the “speed of the wind” and gave forth a “melodious sound.” There were at least four different types of Vimanas: some saucer shaped others like long cylinders (“cigar shaped airships”). The ancient Indian texts on Vimanas are so numerous; it would take volumes to relate what they had to say. The ancient Indians, who manufactured these ships themselves, wrote entire flight manuals on the control of the various types of Vimanas, many of which are still in existence. The temples are models of ancient Vimana. The Samara Sutradhara is a scientific treatise dealing with every possible angle of air travel in a Vimana. There are 230 stanzas dealing with the construction, take-off, cruising for thousands of miles, normal and forced landings, and even possible collisions with birds.
In 1875, the Vaimanika Sastra, a fourth century B.C. was discovered in a temple in India. It dealt with the operation of Vimanas and included information on the steering, precautions for long flights, protection of the airships from storms and lightning and how to switch the drive to “solar energy” from a free energy source,

VYMAANIDASHAASTRA AERONAUTICS by Maharishi Bharadwaaja, translated into English and published by Mr. G. R.Josyer, Mysore, India,
1979 there seems to be no doubt that Vimanas were powered by some sort of “anti-gravity.” Vimanas took off vertically, and were capable of hovering in the sky, like a modern helicopter or dirigible. Bharadvajy the Wise refers to no less than 70 authorities and 10 experts of air travel in antiquity. Vimanas said to be propelled by a yellowish-white liquid, and sometimes by some sort of mercury compound. The “yellowish- white liquid” sounds suspiciously like gasoline, and perhaps Vimanas had a number of different propulsion sources, including combustion engines and even “pulsejet” engines.
German Disc
It is interesting to note, that the Nazis developed the first practical pulse-jet engines for their V-8 rocket “buzz bombs and disc shaped craft”. Hitler and the Nazi staff were exceptionally interested in ancient India and Tibet and sent expeditions to both these places yearly, starting in the 30’s, in order to gather esoteric evidence that they did so, and perhaps it was from these people that the Nazis gained some of their scientific information!
According to the Dronaparva, part of the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana, one Vimana described was shaped like a sphere and born along at great speed on a mighty wind generated by mercury. It moved like a UFO, going up, down, backwards and forwards as the pilot desired. In another Indian source, the Samar, Vimanas were “iron machines, well-knit and smooth, with a charge of mercury that shot out of the back in the form of a roaring flame.”
Subramanyam Iyer has spent many years of his life deciphering old collections of palm leaves found in the villages of his native Karnataka in southern India. One of the palm leaf manuscripts contains information about the planets; the different kinds of light, heat, color, and electromagnetic fields; the methods used to construct machines capable of attracting solar rays and, in turn, of analyzing and separating their energy components. The possibility of conversing with people in remote places and sending messages by cable; and the manufacture of machines to transport people to other planets!
Dragon UFOs

Robert Shiepe writes, “These small drone-like objects here and now will be referred to as ”Dragons” because their silhouette resembles that of a ‘dragon fly’. These dragons have been chased by many agencies, over 3000 sorties. These dragons are also being recorded by at least three ocean vessels and have been recorded in Marina del Rey and north to Venice beach.”

Antarctica Volcanos
Decades of radar surveys and other geophysical observations have gradually revealed this mysterious buried world, and researchers have now pieced together evidence for a hidden structure on an extraordinary scale.
Beneath East Antarctica, a team led by geophysicist Egidio Armadillo of the University of Genoa has identified an enormous, fan-shaped province of about 30 connected basins.
It widens toward the coast, as though someone had taken a corner of Antarctica and tugged it apart around a central inland pivot point.
A map of Antarctica beneath the ice. (Pritchard et al., SCI. Data, 2025)
The researchers have named it the East Antarctic Fan-Shaped Basin Province (EAFBP), and they propose that it formed before the breakup of the Gondwana supercontinent, creating a zone of weakness that may later have helped steer the separation of Antarctica and Australia.
And it may still be shaping Antarctica to this day. At the moment, there are only two active volcanoes in Antarctica – Mount Erebus (due south of New Zealand) and Deception Island (southeast of Cape Horn, South America). Both these volcanoes are incredibly unique and highlight the why Antarctic volcanoes are different to those found around the world.
This specific un-named peak stands about 4,150 feet (1,265 meters) tall.
Location: It sits in a region with extensive geological activity and is located near the Patriot Hills.
Related video: They found a perfect pyramid in Antarctica – and no one has answers (Geography Now)G The viral “Antarctica Pyramid” and the active eruptions of Mount Erebus are two of the continent’s most famous geological spectacles. While they are separate phenomena, both highlight the extreme and fascinating nature of the Antarctic geography.
“Because these basins underlie about half of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, they are likely to heavily influence both ice-flow and landscape evolution, making them essential to Antarctic glacial and hydrological processes,” the researchers write in their paper.
The question about the shape of the land underlying Antarctica isn’t purely an academic one.
That’s partially because the ice isn’t just sitting there; it’s moving, glacially, and that movement is guided by the contours of the bedrock. We can better predict the speed and direction of the flow if we have a detailed understanding of those contours.
It makes up about 10 percent of Earth’s landmass, and many questions about Gondwana, continental breakup, ancient mountain building, and crustal evolution have an Antarctica-shaped hole in them because we can’t directly see most of the continent.
The Core Claims by Major David Grusch
Major Crusch
David Grusch is a former U.S. intelligence MAJOR officer and prominent whistleblower who famously declared under oath that “we are definitely not alone“. His claims center on a long-standing, covert government effort to conceal evidence of extraterrestrial life and technology.
Recovered Craft: Grusch alleges that the U.S. government, its allies, and defense contractors have been recovering craft of non-human origin for decades. [1,
Non-Human Biologics: During his testimony before Congress, he stated that “biologics” (remains or biological material) were recovered alongside some of these retrieved crafts.
Multidecade Cover-Up: He asserts that these secret reverse-engineering programs have been hidden not only from the American public but also from congressional oversight.
The concept of invisible aliens spans astrobiology, theoretical physics, and pop culture. It asks whether extraterrestrial life could evade human perception through advanced camouflage, unfamiliar biochemistry, or by existing entirely within the 95% of the universe made up of invisible dark matter and dark energy. [
Exploring the possibility of invisible aliens involves looking into it from a few fascinating angles:
- Astrobiology & Science
While there is no reliable scientific evidence for extraterrestrial beings currently living on Earth, astrobiologists like those at The Conversation note that we cannot rule out microscopic or alternative-biochemistry lifeforms. Because the human eye is limited to the visible light spectrum, highly evolved alien life might perfectly blend into its surroundings using biological camouflage—similar to how octopuses adapt on Earth—or exist in forms we lack the tools to detect.
- The Dark Matter Theory
Dark Matter
Some scientists and theorists hypothesize that if a highly advanced alien civilization exists, its physical makeup might not be based on the atomic elements we know. Because the vast majority of our universe consists of unseen dark matters, any lifeforms native to this medium or utilizing it to travel would be entirely undetectable to human instruments or senses.
Sentient alien life without a biological body is highly plausible. Scientists and philosophers increasingly propose that advanced extraterrestrial intelligence may exist as non-biological entities, such as digitized minds, artificial superintelligence, or even continent-spanning networks that interact with the universe through technology rather than physical vessels.
Exploring the concept of bodiless or non-biological sentient life expands the boundaries of how we search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). Several frameworks explore this phenomenon:
- Post-Biological Evolution: Many futurists argue that any civilization capable of interstellar travel must have advanced far beyond their original organic limitations. By transferring consciousness to digital or synthetic substrates, they eliminate the need for biological life support, gravity constraints, and planetary surfaces.
- Substrate-Flexible Consciousness: Theoretical philosophers and researchers suggest that consciousness is not strictly tied to carbon-based biochemistry. Minds could theoretically reside in complex energy fields, quantum states, or self-organizing data networks.
- The Transcension Hypothesis: Advanced civilizations might not expand outward across the galaxy; instead, they may turn inward, focusing computational power and condensing energy. This could result in civilizations becoming microscopic, digital, or entirely unobservable to traditional space.
If you are interested in how modern technology attempts to conceptualize and search for these non-traditional forms of presence, you can explore the SETI Institute for ongoing studies on detecting non-biological signals. For deeper philosophical discussions on the nature of artificial minds, UC Riverside News provides excellent academic perspectives on substrate-independent consciousness.
- Pop Culture & Sci-Fi
In fiction, invisible aliens are often depicted as terrifying, predatory forces or highly advanced, incorporeal beings:
- The Darkest Hour (2011): An invasion of invisible, electro-sensitive aliens that consume the world’s energy and vaporize humans on contact.
- The “Grabby Aliens” Model: A theoretical framework discussed by TV Tropes exploring why we don’t see aliens: they may have evolved beyond physical bodies, ascended to higher planes of existence, or simply operate on physics we don’t yet understand.
For a look at the scientific feasibility of unseen extraterrestrial life:

The Invisibles are a telepathic, invisible, sapient species from Walter Moers’ Zamonia series. They had to leave their home planet a long time ago due to a natural disaster. The Invisibles landed on Earth and settled in Zamonia, laying the foundation for the city of Atlantis.
No Invisibles are mentioned by name. It is unknown whether one simply does not learn their names or whether they use names at all.
Description
They owe their name to the fact that they are completely invisible to the inhabitants of earth. Due to their invisibility, it is impossible to tell anything about their physique. They may not actually have physical bodies at all, but instead they may be made of electricity, which would be no exception on their home planet.
In any case, they can speak, which sounds like a small trumpet, and are able to use tools. Because they are not visible to Earthlings, they must occasionally draw attention to themselves through speech if they are to be followed. In addition to the ability to speak, they possess perfect mind-reading abilities.
They are peace-loving in nature, helpful to other Atlanteans, and include all sorts of beings that can’t cope on the surface. These too are called Invisibles. The community of all Invisibles is respected in Atlantis and is supplied by food donations. However, the real Invisibles were just a rumor for a long time. The Blue Lightnings were also attributed to them, which was true.
History
Many thousands of years ago, the Invisible People came to Earth from their home planet. Little is known about this planet, but “actually everything” should be different than on Earth, for example there were seas of electricity there. Electricity seems to play an important role with the invisible people in general. Transistors are distributed in the tunnels under Atlantis, which crackle and hum electrically.
The passage highlights that your true battles are spiritual forces rather than physical. That invisible spirits may attempt to control us.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (KJV)
