Vimāna are mythological flying palaces or chariots described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics. The "Pushpaka Vimana" of Ravana (who took it from Kubera; Rama returned it to Kubera) is the most quoted example of a vimana. Vimanas are also mentioned in Jain texts. Etymology[edit]
Look up vimana in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.Sculpture of the Pushpaka vimana, as a temple flying in the sky.
The Sanskrit word vimāna (विमान) literally means "measuring out, traversing" or "having been measured out". Monier Monier-Williams defines vimāna as "a car or a chariot of the gods, any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace, and one kind is said to be seven stories high", and quotes the Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana as an example. It may denote any car or vehicle, especially a bier or a ship as well as a palace of an emperor, especially with seven stories.[1] Nowadays, vimāna, vimān or biman means "aircraft" in Indian languages. For example in the town name Vimanapura (a suburb of Bangalore) and Vimannagar, a town in Pune. In another context, Vimana is a feature in Hindu temple architecture.
The Forgotten History of USOs: What Underwater “UFOs” mean to our Understanding of the Alien Presence - 2023 Contact in the Desert UAMN TV Exclusive - As land-based creatures we tend to forget that most of the planet is covered by water. The 20th and 21st centuries, however, have an enormous history of inexplicable technologies operating throughout all of Earth’s bodies of water, from large oceans to lakes, rivers, and even small reservoirs and ponds. Many instances have shown them to be transmedium objects, meaning they can operate in water as well as the atmosphere. The evidence and testimony regarding this phenomenon is extremely compelling. UFO historian Richard Dolan will review the extraordinary history of USOs (unidentified submersible objects) from around the world and discuss the implications of the presence of such remarkable objects in our world.

June 1984 marked the Soviet Union's ninth mission to its orbital space station, Salyut 7. The mission, launched on Cosmonauts Day, was intended to resupply the station and conduct scientific and technical research.
However, the mission gained more fame not for its scientific endeavors but for a mystifying experience reported by the crew members. The accounts involve an ethereal encounter that occurred 155 days into their 237-day mission.
The day started typically until the cosmonauts reported seeing a "fog" that transformed into an intense, blinding light enveloping their spacecraft. From this celestial luminescence, they claimed to have witnessed the appearance of seven angelic figures, each comparable in size to an airliner, with a serene expression and outstretched wings.
These beings supposedly remained visible for 10 minutes, silently moving outside the station before disappearing.
This wasn't an isolated incident either; the 'angels' were said to have reappeared a week later when the space station was joined by another team of three from Soyuz T-12.
The cosmonauts were seasoned professionals, not prone to hysteria or hallucinations. Many were experienced pilots and engineers, and two were physicians. They had undergone rigorous psychological testing to withstand the mental challenges of long-duration space travel. Yet all six reported seeing the same entities, which lent credibility to the account.
Scientists on Earth have proposed theories to explain this celestial mystery, ranging from the plausible to the outlandish. Some have suggested a mass hallucination induced by high carbon dioxide levels, a common issue in space stations.
Others pointed towards a phenomenon called "cosmic rays visual phenomena," where high-energy particles stimulate optic nerves, causing flashes of light. Some insisted it was a psychological coping mechanism for the harsh isolation and monotonous environment of space.
Despite the scrutiny and countless hypotheses, no definitive explanation has emerged...
Once my husband & I were driving up a road when we saw something shaped like nothing we’ve ever seen. Strange lights just flying maybe a mile apart ahead of us. We never talk about it because people think we sound crazy, but it just felt so unworldly in that moment.

Oddly enough, strange reports have been coming out of India for years now, with many of these eyewitnesses describing strange creatures that don't match humans or any other creature native to the area.
For this reason, many locals have started to lock their doors at night, and have been refused to walk out in the street at night, in fear that they might encounter one of these creatures.
Although blurry photographs have been taken, what this creature is and what it wants remains a mystery.
