Such reports cannot be explained through a single lens. Different situations call for different explanations.

 

A possible scenario

If someone witnesses an unidentified luminous object in the sky, and it is clearly not a natural phenomenon such as a falling star or meteoroid, one possibility is that it may be an astral being.

Certain astral entities are capable of appearing as concentrated light. Depending on the loka from which they originate, they may be benevolent or malevolent.

 

A less favourable scenario

Some reported experiences involve abduction narratives, apparitions manifesting inside homes, or accounts of physical procedures taking place without any material evidence. In such cases, the explanation may lie not in physical intervention, but in lower astral influence.

Lower astral entities are described as having the ability to hypnotise or override the mind. In that altered state, they can project impressions, suggestions, and fully immersive experiences.

If the episode is brief, it may be a temporary hallucination induced by short-term influence. If the experience is prolonged, particularly during or after intoxication, it is possible that such entities have gained access to the individual’s astral body. This can result in extended or recurring hallucinations.

When multiple individuals report highly similar experiences, it may indicate that similar groups of entities are interacting with them at the astral level.

Sustained influence becomes more likely when the astral body is weakened. This weakness may arise from emotional trauma, chronic illness, energetic depletion, addiction, or karmic vulnerabilities carried forward from previous births.

 

Other Possibilities

It must also be acknowledged that some sightings may relate to classified technological testing unknown to the public.

There also seems to be a pattern of intentional or unintentional misinformation.

 

A common pattern

In many cases, intense alien or abduction experiences are associated with substances that reduce prana and foster dependency.

When prana is weakened, the astral body becomes more susceptible to attachment. Such attachment may persist even after the substance has left the physical system.

Active and vivid hallucinations often depend on continued substance use. At other times, the influence may manifest not visually but as intrusive thought patterns. This can lead to mental instability, emotional volatility, depression, identity confusion, hormonal imbalance, or addictive behaviors.

Through such access, lower astral entities may attempt to express their baser tendencies through the human host. These tendencies are often described in traditional language as demonic or unnatural.

To the person experiencing it, some of these episodes may feel like extraterrestrial experimentation. In other instances, they may simply reflect lower astral interactions rather than physical alien contact.

 

 

A spiritual development point to Note:

It is important to remember that karmic law operates with precise balance. Actions that move away from dharma generate corresponding effects. Cause and effect unfold inevitably, and the individual must eventually restore balance through corrective choices and conscious living. Growth requires that lessons be understood and integrated.

There is a common belief that identifying oneself purely as a victim of circumstance or abuse removes personal responsibility. Spiritual law does not operate in that way. Spiritual evolution calls for accountability and the conscious strengthening of one’s personality and energy field.

As inner strength develops, it generates a magnetic force that naturally acts as protection. A refined and elevated energy field reduces susceptibility to lower influences and destabilizing situations.

The path of growth is not about remaining in victim consciousness. It is about taking responsibility for one’s energy, cultivating awareness, and engaging in disciplined spiritual practice. Through this process, one builds a protective magnetic field that guards against lower entities and habits that diminish consciousness.

 

Traditional understanding

Ayurveda classifies intoxicating substances as highly toxic in nature. Their use is advised only under medical supervision, if at all. Recreational use of addictive substances is strongly discouraged and, in many cases, clearly forbidden.

All spiritual masters caution against the use of such substances. In very rare cases, certain lineages may use specific substances, but only in highly controlled conditions and in a vibrationally modified form. The Guru understands how to neutralize the addictive influence. Without this knowledge, the risk is extremely high.

Even under supervision, such practices remain dangerous. For most seekers, complete abstinence is the wiser path.

Normal spiritual disciplines are more than sufficient to bring about the inner evolution a sincere aspirant seeks.

 

 

Absence of UFO-type narratives in Indian cosmology

Indian cosmology provides extraordinarily detailed descriptions of lokas, dwipas, and the many types of beings that inhabit these realms. If encounters with aliens or UFO-like events had occurred, such a comprehensive system would almost certainly have recorded them.

If not in the Puranas, then at least in the Itihasas. Yet both major epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, do not point to any such incidents.

This absence is not accidental. In a system that records even subtle metaphysical events, such silence becomes meaningful.

 

Multiple human-like intelligent species on Earth

Interestingly, the texts do describe multiple intelligent human-like species, but not in the way modern alien discourse imagines. They mention around seven or eight such species inhabiting Earth. Although these beings originate from other lokas, they incarnate on Earth.

At times they appear almost human, and at other times slightly different. The differences are occasionally physical, such as height or strength, but more often they lie in mental makeup and behavior rather than outward form.

These species require high levels of pranic energy to incarnate on Earth. As the Yugas progress from Satya Yuga to Treta Yuga and then to Dwapara Yuga, this supportive pranic environment gradually diminishes.

By the time Kali Yuga arrives, these species largely disappear from Earth.

Following this pattern, as we now move deeper into Dwapara Yuga, it is likely that some of these species may begin incarnating on Earth once again.

 

Excerpt from Autobiography of Yogi on Astral Travel

A direct experiential account of astral materialization can be found in Autobiography of a Yogi:

“A nebulous light was rapidly floating over the Ganges; the strange luminescence was reflected in the opaque waters. It approached nearer and nearer until, with a blinding flash, it appeared by the side of Mataji and condensed itself instantly into the human form of Lahiri Mahasaya. He bowed humbly at the feet of the woman saint.

“Before I had recovered from my bewilderment, I was further wonder- struck to behold a circling mass of mystical light traveling in the sky. Descending swiftly, the flaming whirlpool neared our group and materialized itself into the body of a beautiful youth who, I understood at once, was Babaji. He looked like Lahiri Mahasaya, the only difference being that Babaji appeared much younger, and had long, bright hair.

 – From the Chapter 33: Babaji, The Yogi-Christ Of Modern India

What is described here is not mechanical travel, but conscious materialization. These descriptions closely resemble the Purana accounts of luminous forms appearing, condensing, and dissolving. These are often described under the broad term “vimana.”

Within the framework of Indian cosmology, inter-realm movement is primarily conscious and vibrational, not mechanical and technological in the modern sense.
