suchandra 1 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 This is from Krishna book, Ch.76, The Battle Between Salva And The Yadu Dynasty "But still the airplane occupied by Salva was very mysterious. It was so extraordinary that sometimes there would appear to be many airplanes in the sky, and sometimes it would seem that there was none. Sometimes it was visible, and sometimes it was not visible, and the warriors of the Yadu dynasty became puzzled about the whereabouts of the peculiar airplane. Sometimes they would see the airplane on the ground, and sometimes they would see it flying in the sky. Sometimes they would see the airplane resting on the peak of a hill, and sometimes it was seen floating on the water. The wonderful airplane was flying in the sky like a firefly in the wind--it was not steady even for a moment. But despite the mysterious maneuvering of the airplane, the commanders and the soldiers of the Yadu dynasty would immediately rush toward Salva wherever he was present with his airplane and soldiers." <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3Hb0D1yIQI&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoveroftheBhagavata 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 Yes, Sadaputa dasa has written a book on the subject, entitled "Alien Identities: Ancient Insights into Modern UFO Phenomenon." There is a Vedic treatise called Vaimanika-shastra on aerial vehicles. It was revealed to Subbaraya Sastry in trance about a century ago. Vimanas are ubiquitous in the old Sanskrit texts.

LoveroftheBhagavata 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 Yeah I'm familiar with the work of Hatcher Childress. And Sadaputa uses the examples given by Shivaduta and many others in his book Alien Identities. It is one of the best I've ever read. Regards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
