Conspiracy Theories - #1 - The ‘Vimanas’ described in ancient Indian texts as early as the 9th century B.C. were actually UFO’s.
In Sanskrit, “vimana” literally translates to “traversing”. Monier Monier-Williams, a Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford University, described the vimanas as “a car or chariot of the gods, any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne…one kind is said to be seven stories high”. ‘Vimana’ or ‘vimanam’ also means aircraft in Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi. All originated within India and come from the same approximate time period.
They appeared primarily in ancient Hindu texts but also in Sanskrit epics and were even mentioned several times in Jainist texts. The Hindu philosopher Swami Dayanada Saraswati also gave his description of the vimana as: “a craft using fire and water, containing twelve stamgahs [pillars], one wheel, three machines, 300 pivots and 60 instruments”.
What theorists propose is that these ancient ornate flying fortresses, often having been portrayed as emitting light and flying through the skies, were neither mythical nor chariots of the gods but actually early human civilisations’ accounts of alien spacecraft.
