Vedic Tradition and UFOs with Michael Cremo

Michael Cremo is coauthor with Richard Thompson of Forbidden Archeology. He is also author of Human Devolution: A Vedic Alternative to Darwin's Theory as well as My Science, My Religion – a collection of his scientific papers.

Here he describes the Vedic worldview as one in which consciousness, rather than matter, is considered fundamental. The Vedic universe is populated by a vast array of entities including both extraterrestrial and extra-dimensional. There are deities and demonic entities covering a wide range of technological and spiritual attainments. Flying vehicles are frequently described. Some are described in mechanical terms others are completely mental, or spiritual, in nature. Cremo points out that there are many similarities between modern UFO reports and ancient Vedic accounts.
