I have no problem with Wikipedia containing UFO garbage, so long as it's labeled as such. Someone fix please this page, so we know which parts of its fantastical claims are disputed and which parts aren't....--Carl 15:28, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I feel that the content of the article at present indicates quite well that the Vimanas are currently mythological devices... So all that is described can be clearly interpreted to be fiction... until proven otherwise. So there need be no dispute on the neutrality. The NPOV dispute is not justified.

I agree. I am now satisfied that in its present form, the article is neutral. --Carl 03:20, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
It is true that Vimanas are part of a worldwide mysterious appearance of flying vehicles, sometimes amazingly well described (i.e. technical details) and always containing similarities. Myths from the Near East (Ezekiel, Henoch, Exodus), myths from South America (Bep Kororoti), and the presented myths from India (Vimanas).
How much of this "UFO garbage" is garbage? User:Stefan Kruithof
- Last time I looked into this, most of the "technical details" associated with Vimanas were from the Vimana-shastra (or something like that) which was supposedly ancient but was in fact produced by some twentieth century pandit, supposedly by autodictation. Not to say that "UFO garbage" isn't an impolite term for it... -- कुक्कुरोवाच|Talk‽
How about a separate article to Toaplan's arcade game Vimana? [1]
- That's fine, just put a link to Vimana (video game) at the top of this article and write it. --Carl 11:48, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
This isn't really "UFO garbage," because it's something that the ancient (Asian) Indians wrote extensively about, and even if it's not true and just stories, it's part of history, just like Greek and Roman myths are a part of history. And Ezekiel and Exodus are not myths.129.15.167.97 06:24, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
While interesting, there is a big lack of source evidence. I'd appreciate it if someone could back up the otherwise fascinating quotes from these ancient indian texts with page/chapter numbers and what translation or book edition they got the quote from. Otherwise it could just as likely be made up. BV, 23.1.07
- Anyone could have written this page and made it up out of whole cloth. Is this the fate of Wikipedia, to be the repository of all the world's lunatic theories? I have read many Vedas, etc., and never encountered anything remotely like this. I agree with the above anon. user, Ezekiel and Exodus are not myths, and I'm not sure this article even rises to the level of "myth". It's just pure rubbish. Do we have to have an exhaustive analysis of every crazy thing ever written in the history of man? No server is big enough to hold the world's babblings... Nirigihimu 15:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Noncompliant tag
I've added the tag due to statements like, "However, a Google image search by User:Robsahl found several archeological websites about the skeletons at Mohenjo Daro..." —Viriditas | Talk 11:20, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
These are only cutlural cross references and are to some extent absolutely correct, the only modification required is that of the UFO theory as even if it is true the topic is debatable hence I am editing the aricle to make it neutral .
[edit] Seems good
This appears to be a categorical listing and brief summary of ancient indian mythologies, why is this in question? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.172.242.87 (talk • contribs) 20:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC).
