The idea of man journeying to unknown worlds in outer space and intelligent extra-terrestrial beings regularly visiting the earth appears weird but it is not entirely inconceivable.
More than three decades ago man set foot on the moon. Today countless artificial satellites are permanently orbiting the earth. Manned missions to near earth orbits have become a regular feature. Scientists take off, conduct experiments and come back. Many unmanned spacecrafts have reached and even landed on our sister planets. Some have crossed the solar system and are hurtling away in deep space to destinations unknown. Plans are about to land man on the neighbouring Mars in coming years. International Space station is being built which may some day act as a launching pad for missions.
Even the moon is under speculation as a possible future space station. It is, therefore no fantasy that all these efforts may culminate some day in the construction of such space-ships as would be capable of carrying researchers to the very distant world of stars and their planets for exploration of the universe.
Before the time of large ships, it was not possible to cross the oceans. Those days, the different continents, living in isolation, were sort of unknown worlds for each other. Intrepid sea-voyagers like Columbus, Magellan and Vasco de Gama crossed the oceans and discovered new continents. Aeroplanes have now bridged the distances between the far-flung landmasses on the earth. Similarly, space ships of the future might make regular inter-planetary or even inter-galactic travel possible.
The mythological literature abounds with references to travel between different ‘loks’1 and the earth. Devarishi Narada kept shuttling between Vishnulok and this world. There are stories of Arjuna and Dasharatha reaching the svarga (heaven) in person, achieving their objectives and coming back from there. At times, gods have descended to the terra firma, sojourned here and even assumed finite bodily forms (avatars) to pull earthlings out of the dungeon of darkness. If we view the ongoing scientific endeavours against the backdrop of these literary references, the impression emerges that in today’s context the feasibility of such journeys may be very dim, but it is not altogether impossible. In theory, at least, it cannot be ruled out.
A related aspect of this theme is the phenomena of U.F.Os (Unidentified Flying Objects) mainly comprising of flying saucers and fireballs. They have been reportedly sighted at so many places and by so many persons of undoubted credibility that they cannot be dismissed off hand. Scientists have so far been unable to arrive at a definite conclusion about them either way. Under the circumstances, one should not deride if such phenomena are speculated upon as communicatory forays of extra-terrestrial origin.
The flying saucers may be likened to space ships. The fire of electric balls could be intelligent beings from some distant celestial body. If, however, both are some sorts of special phenomena of nature, there must still be some causative factors involved. What are those factors, those forces and principles, which are working behind their mysterious appearance and disappearances? In either case, it is a fit case for comprehensive enquiry and deliberation.
Miglay Byena and Manuel Cruz were two young Brazilian engineers engaged in researching the mystery of flying saucers. They had even built a laboratory for the purpose. It was August, 1966. Very early in the morning, the two engineers left for Vintem hill. This hill is covered with dense woods and for the last many decades, flying saucers had regularly been sighted there. Almost everyday, some mysterious object from the sky was reported to land there, remain there for some time and then take off. It was the general impression that the E.Ts (Extra-Terestrials) had chosen this Brazilaian hillock as their base station for exploration of the earth. As the engineers were climbing the hill, some saucer-like object was seen descending over the hilltop. Many distinguished local citizens confirmed this event. The next day, some local boys, out on a hunting expedition, found the two researchers lying dead atop the hill. Police investigation and autopsy failed to find any clue into the possible cause of death.
Another character in the UFO saga is the ‘fire-ball’. Like its saucer counterpart, this, too, has been doing the appear-and-vanish acts at many places. Eyewitnesses include persons of unimpeachable integrity who just cannot be put in the category of rumourmongers.
15 March, 1963; 5.00 AM. Eastern Airline’s Flight No. 539 was on its way from New York to Washington. A fireball entered the plane at one end, travelled to the other and vanished near toilet. Many passengers saw this spectacle but none suffered any harm of injury. Only the air slightly smelt of sulphur or nitrogen oxide.
This incident was reported in the world famous science magazine ‘Nature’. Experts proffered many possible theories and explanations but nothing definite could be said. If it was really of the nature of fire or electric charge it ought to have left some effect on the things or persons there.
NASA of the USA has compiled more than 600 reported sightings of these fireballs. Their sizes range from 1 cm. to 1 meter. Altogether about 4000 witnessing are available. But still no one knows why and how they suddenly appear and then vanish, all the time moving, running and prancing about and still leaving everything completely unaffected by their visible energy outflow. Like flying-saucers, these fire-balls, too, caused no harm to the persons whom they passed at close range or in whose body contact they momentarily came even as the latter could feel the reality of their energy substance.
There is a distinct probability that this phenomenon reflects attempts by intelligent beings from some highly advanced extra-terrestrial civilization to make contact with inhabitants of the earth and understand the local conditions. This friendly outreach should be reciprocated with a matching gesture on our side.
Different constituents of the Supreme Consciousness, which indwells this whole wide universe, should work together towards attainment of some grand and lofty goal ordained for them.
In this context, the concept of ‘black-holes’ has some bearing. Black holes are big mysteries in the space. They are extremely dense with such an unimaginably strong gravitational pull that even light cannot escape them. Hence, no information can come out of there. The core and the surrounding region thus become one massive dark area of the dimension of billions of kilometres. Conceptually, it is possible for matter or ‘passengers’ in this area to travel smoothly from one point to another riding on the extremely strong pull operating there. The movement on this path will be completely effortless. Scientists think that in the black-hole zone the velocity of matter may exceed that of light.
Then there are white holes too. These are vast expanses or gaps in the space devoid of any stars or galaxies. The white holes are different from black holes in characteristics. They have neither the gravitational pull of the latter nor its other weird features. In dimension, of course, they are much larger. More than 10 such while-holes have so far been identified by scientists. The biggest one stretches across the space for 30 crore lakh light years from one end to the other.
For all we know, such peculiar holes, in their miniature version, might be existing on the earth too. Through these presumed holes, ships and aeroplanes have been vanishing in the Bermuda Triangle area of the Atlantic for a long time. Such sudden and mysterious disappearance of man or material are occasionally reported from other places, too. These vanishing tricks remind one of the UFOs. All these mysterious happenings suggest that some sort of contact exists and is being forged between our earth and other invisible worlds.
The following incident is of July, 1968., A 70 year old tailor Parfit lived with his sister in an English village, Sifton Mallet. He had been crippled in war and was so weak that he could hardly leave his bed. One day, he wished to sit near the door. His sister, with the help of a neighbourhood girl, put him on a chair there and went upstairs.
The door opened on the main road outside. When the sister returned after 15 minutes Parfit was not there. Extensive search inside and outside, far and wide, failed to find him. Parfit had simply vanished as if in thin air. No clue has since been found that could shed light on the cause of his mysterious disappearance.
Another example is of Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of diesel engine. On 19 September, 1913 Diesel boarded a ship (Dresden) for America. After dinner, he strolled a while with his engineer friend Luckman and then both retired to their respective cabins. Next morning, Diesel was traceless. Close scrutiny of the cabin revealed that he had indeed made preparations for sleeping but the bed itself had not been slept in. Something happened before he could lie down. All searches came to nought. No trace of Diesel could be found.
October, 1920 British Labour M.P Victor Gresson was going from Liverpool to address a meeting. Many persons had reached the station to receive him. But Gresson was not on the train. Police enquiry traced his bag to a London hotel. The manager told that a man had deposited the bag there, but did not turn up again to collect it. But the manager’s description of the man did not fit Gresson at all. Gresson could never be found.
What causes people to suddenly vanish like this? Conjectures could be made. Are such phenomena linked with the experimental efforts of some invisible researchers who are engaged in making inter-stellar journeys possible? Or could it be that small black holes are roaming about hither and thither in the manner of fireballs and are pulling, snatching and plucking people out of their earthy existence?
