Similar, if not
identical to Vimanas, Vailixi were generally "cigar shaped" and
had the capability of maneuvering underwater as well as in the
atmosphere or even outer space.
Other vehicles, like Vimanas,
were saucer shaped, and could apparently also be submerged.
According to Eklal Kueshana, author of "The Ultimate
Frontier," in an article he wrote in 1966, Vailixi were first
developed in Atlantis 20,000 years ago, and the most common ones
are "saucer shaped of generally trapezoidal cross-section with
three hemispherical engine pods on the underside." "They use a
mechanical antigravity device driven by engines developing
approximately 80,000 horse power."
The Ramayana, Mahabarata and other texts speak of the
hideous war that took place, some ten or twelve thousand years
ago between Atlantis and Rama using weapons of destruction that
could not be imagined by readers until the second half of this
century.
The ancient Mahabharata, one of the sources on Vimanas,
goes on to tell the awesome destructiveness of the war: "...(the
weapon was) a single projectile charged with all the power of
the Universe. An incandescent column of smoke and flame As
bright as the thousand suns rose in all its splendor... An iron
thunderbolt,
A gigantic messenger of death,
Which reduced to ashes
The entire race of the Vrishnis
And the Andhakas.
. . . the corpses were so burned
As to be unrecognizable.
The hair and nails fell out;
Pottery broke without apparent cause,
And the birds turned white.
... After a few hours
All foodstuffs were infected...
... to escape from this fire
The soldiers threw themselves in streams
To wash themselves and their equipment..."
It would seem that the Mahabharata is describing an atomic
war! References like this one are not isolated; but battles,
using a fantastic array of weapons and aerial vehicles are
common in all the epic Indian books.
One even describes a
Vimana-Vailix battle on the Moon! The above section very
accurately describes what an atomic explosion would look like
and the effects of the radioactivity on the population. Jumping
into water is the only respite.
When the Rishi City of Mohenjodaro was excavated by
archeologists in the last century, they found skeletons just
lying in the streets, some of them holding hands, as if some
great doom had suddenly overtaken them.
These skeletons are
among the most radioactive ever found, on a par with those found
at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Ancient cities whose brick and stone
walls have literally been vitrified, that is-fused together, can
be found in India, Ireland, Scotland, France, Turkey and other
places.
There is no logical explanation for the vitrification
of stone forts and cities, except from an atomic blast.
Furthermore, at Mohenjo-Daro, a well planned city laid on a grid,
with a plumbing system superior to those used in Pakistan and
India today, the streets were littered with "black lumps of
glass."
These globs of glass were discovered to be clay pots
that had melted under intense heat!
With the cataclysmic sinking of Atlantis and the wiping out
of Rama with atomic weapons, the world collapsed into a "stone
age" of sorts, and modern history picks up a few thousand years
later. Yet, it would seem that not all the Vimanas and Vailixi
of Rama and Atlantis were gone.
Built to last for thousands
of years, many of them would still be in use, as evidenced by
Ashoka's "Nine Unknown Men" and the Lhasa manuscript.
That secret societies or "Brotherhoods" of exceptional,
"enlightened" human beings would have preserved these inventions
and the knowledge of science, history, etc., does not seem
surprising.
Many well known historical personages including
Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Confucius, Krishna, Zoroaster,
Mahavira, Quetzalcoatl, Akhenaton, Moses, and more recent
inventors and of course many other people who will probably
remain anonymous, were probably members of such a secret
organization.
It is interesting to note that when Alexander the Great
invaded India more than two thousand years ago, his historians
chronicled that at one point they were attacked by "flying,
fiery shields" that dove at his army and frightened the cavalry.
These "flying saucers" did not use any atomic bombs or beam
weapons on Alexander's army however, perhaps out of benevolence,
and Alexander went on to conquer India.
It has been suggested by many writers that these "Brotherhoods"
keep some of their Vimanas and Vailixi in secret caverns in
Tibet or some other place is Central Asia, and the Lop Nor
Desert in western China is known to be the center of a great UFO
mystery.
Perhaps it is here that many of the airships are still
kept, in underground bases much as the Americans, British and
Soviets have built around the world in the past few decades.
Still, not all UFO activity can be accounted for by old
Vimanas making trips to the Moon for some reason. Undoubtedly,
some are from the Military Governments of the world, and
possibly even from other planets.
Of course, many UFO sightings
are "swamp, gas, clouds, hoaxes, and hallucinations, while there
is considerable evidence that many UFO sightings, especially
"kidnappings" and the like, are the result of what is generally
called "telepathic hypnosis."
One common thread that often runs
between "Alien kidnappings," "sex with aliens," and other "close
encounters of a third kind" is a buzzing in the ears just before
the encounter.
