The alien visitation theory is popular for a number of reasons. First, it is extremely tempting because it discusses a world much larger than the one most people believe in. Second, such theories can explain some of the world's greatest mysteries. In fact, today there are many mysteries in the world that no one can explain logically.
Humanity has already encountered aliens.
The theory of aliens visiting Earth is very popular today. For some, it is attracted by the fact that it reveals a world much larger than the one that modern scientists and philosophers talk about, but for others it is an opportunity to somehow explain the greatest secrets of this world. Meanwhile, in various religious treatises, there are examples that speak of subjects who are today called aliens.
1. Mahabharata
The Mahabharata, which is considered one of the sacred books written about ancient Hindu life, philosophy, and culture, has several references to extraterrestrial beings. There are thousands of references to "vimanas" or flying chariots, people who can wear space suits, and even stories of the destruction of entire cities with a powerful ray of energy.
Mahabharata, aliens, nuclear war …
Once Oppenheimer, who developed the atomic bomb, was asked if the explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the first atomic war on Earth. He replied: “Well, yes. In our time, of course. Oppenheimer was a famous fan of ancient Indian philosophies and the Vedas. The war described in the Mahabharata bears surprising similarities to what people know about nuclear war today.

2. Other worlds in the Quran
Despite what most people think about Islam, the truth is that Muslims believe in extraterrestrial life. Unlike other mainstream religions, which do not approve of anything that is not specifically mentioned in their holy books, most Muslims do not deny the possible existence of other worlds. Some verses of the Qur'an talk about how Allah created not only our world, but others as well.
Allah created not only our world, but others as well.
Other worlds have their own beings, and they also had Adam, from whom the whole race developed. The Qur'an also says that in other worlds more than seven heavens and seven lands are possible. One verse is translated as "He (Allah) will unite life in heavenly bodies and life on Earth whenever he wants it."
3. "In the image and likeness …"
There is a symbolic phrase in the Bible that translates as “… God said: let us make man in our image in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over all creeping things, reptiles on the ground … ". The words "let us create" and "ours" may indicate the plural, and if so, whether God is unique.
The Vatican admits the existence of extraterrestrial life.
Is it possible that God could be a being from a distant part of our universe … Interestingly, the Vatican admits the existence of extraterrestrial life. Vatican astronomer Guy Consolmango believes that angels, morning stars and heavenly beings may be from a completely different planet.
4. "Stars were fighting from heaven …"
Numerous scholars who have studied Torah, both past and present, have spoken of references to extraterrestrial life on Earth in this scripture. In the Book of Judges, the prophetess Deborah sings about the victory achieved by Barak over Sisera, and says: "Curse Meros," said the angel of the Lord, "curse its inhabitants!" What is Meroz and who are its inhabitants?
Mention of aliens in Torah.
Some believe that Meros is a star or a planet, and that the celestial bodies mentioned in the Torah are beings from other planets. Deborah also declares: "From heaven the stars fought, from their paths they fought against Sisera." However, the star mentioned here did not come to their aid, and General Barak continued to punish Meroz and its inhabitants.
5. Elijah's Ascension
Elijah's ascension is perceived by some as a description of an alien abduction. The meaning of the verse can be roughly translated as "Elijah was taken up to heaven by the Lord in a chariot of fire." This may sound like an imaginary scene, but a curious question arises - why is the chariot of fire? The idea of moving around in flaming vehicles is strange in itself.
Elijah's Ascension - Description of Alien Abduction?
The verse says: "suddenly there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire, and separated them both, and Elijah rushed in a whirlwind to Heaven." Then it says: "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord." Sounds like alien abduction, doesn't it.
6. Divine rays, vimanas and the spear of Indra
In ancient Indian texts, there are several references to possible alien technologies. Here are some of these verses: "By the will of Rama, a magnificent chariot ascended to a mountain of clouds," and "Bhima flew on a vimaana on a huge beam that was as bright as the sun and made a noise like thunder."
Aircraft, lasers, RSD.
A man named Asura Maya is also described as having a vimana (airplane) of twelve cubits in circumference and having four wheels. There is also a scene that describes Indra's spear with a circular "reflector". It was claimed that as soon as these weapons were fired, they created a wave of light that, when focused on a target, destroyed them.
7. Sodom and Gomorrah
The description of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is one of the clearest references to possible extraterrestrial intervention. One of the verses says: "Then the Lord poured from heaven a rain of burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah." So he destroyed the cities and the entire area around them, destroying all living things.
Sodom and Gomorrah - atomic explosions?
Lot's wife looked back at the destroyed cities and turned into a pillar of salt. The described sounds extremely strange and is similar to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When Hiroshima was being rebuilt, patches of sand were found that had sintered into glass or silicon due to the impact of nuclear attacks, just like in Sadoma.
8. "… like ten thousand suns"
And finally, we will give another example of what looks like a nuclear war in ancient Indian texts. The ancient verse says. “Gurha, flying in his fast and powerful Vimana, unleashed a single projectile on the three cities of Vrish and Andhaka, charged with all the power of the Universe. An iridescent column of smoke and fire, as bright as ten thousand suns, rose in all its splendor."
Nuclear war in ancient India.
This unknown weapon called the "Iron Thunderer" was a gigantic messenger of death and reduced the entire race of Vrishni and Andhaka to dust. The following describes how those who were burned with this weapon turned to ash, and the survivors, who were far from the point of impact, lost their hair and nails. Doesn't it sound terrible and resemble the consequences of radiation exposure.
