No matter how mysterious the beliefs and presumptions about the existence of alien planets may be, this fact has to be accepted that there are many worlds beyond the visible one, where people are just like human beings. They have their own civilizations and cultures and lead their lives in their way. This fact gets reaffirmed by the events that come to light from time to time.
An incident in England dates back to the reign of King Henry II. One day a brother and sister with green-colored skincame out of a hole at a place, ‘Mariede Ulpituss.’ Their hands and feet were certainly like that of human beings, but the color of their skin was deep green. They were wearing strange attire, made out of some unknowncloth, which could not be identified. When they came out of the hole, they wandered here and there in the fields in astonishment for a long time. Eventually, the farmers caught them and brought them to Richard D. Kelly, a local elite. In several months their skin tone changed to that of normal human beings. In the meantime, the brother died of some disease. In contrast, the sister survived and continued to lead a married life just like any other citizen.
When the girl was asked how they reached the Earth, she said they reached a cave one day while grazing sheep. They heard a melodious sound coming from within. They entered it and wandered inside for a long time to find the source of the music and eventually landedup in this world. She further stated that they kept roaming here and there for some time upon coming on this planet. Finally, they wanted to return to their own world. They searched for the cave-door, but could not succeed and were caught by the village folk.
When asked whether her world is also like ours, she revealed that her world is not as hot as the Earth, nor is there so much light. Neither is there any sun to illuminate the planet. Yet, there is no darkness. On the contrary, a dim and cool glow like moonlight exists. She used to describe herself as the inhabitant of the kingdom of Saint Martin, but she did not know on which side was it located. She often used to say that there is another world as bright as the Earth near her world, but there is a huge impassable river between the two. This incident has been elaborately mentioned by Saint William of Neuberg, the then famous saint of England, in his work ‘Historia Rerum Anglicarum.’
While explaining the cause and mechanism of such events, scientists expound that this happens due to a hole in the wall between two worlds. Unfortunately, if a person reaches that tunnel entrance, he will be pulled within. From there, he would reach another world, from where the probability of his return will be negligible. Still, even if it is possible somehow, then the condition of that person will be similar to one suffering from amnesia, meaning he must have forgotten everything before, during, and after the incident.
Discussing the second possibility, the scientists say that another way for the unfortunate to come out maybe by having paranormal powers. With such capabilities, he would be able to strike the wall between the two worlds through his psychic abilities, which would enable the door to open in the same way as the key opens the lock in a single stroke. If any such eminent being, unintentionally or due to negligence, ever gets caught in this whirlpool of time, he will come out safely from it in the same way as a diver does from the sea. But, for accomplishing this, it would be essential to find the door through which he reached the other world. If he fails in this, he will not be able to come out of it by any means.
Currently, scientists explain such phenomena on the basis of blackholes. In their opinion, only the theory of blackhole scan be justified and valid in such contexts. Its scientific explanation is not possible in less than this. So far, two such black holes have been found on our Earth. One of these is the Bermuda Triangle located between Florida, Costa Rica, and Bermuda, while the other one was discovered in the 1990s. This triangle between Japan, Taiwan, and Guguan is known as the ‘Dragon’s Triangle.’
In the anecdote above, the supernatural girl mentioned landing on the Earth after walking along distance into a long tunnel. The experts of science also make a similar prediction about the fate of a person trapped in a black hole. Eminent physicist and mathematician Prof. John Taylor writes in his work ‘Blackhole – the End of the Universe’ that the tension inside the black hole is so intense that space within it assumes the form of a long thin neck, the other end of which maybe connected to another world. He illustrates that if this happens and the person remains safe inside the black hole, he will reach a completely different world through this narrow stretch. Even if he remains alive, he will fail to establish any contact with his world, even with the most sophisticated devices. In such a situation, he can again put his spaceship in the black hole in the hope of returning to his world, but every such effort will prove to be futile and take him to an entirely new world every time. In this way, he may probably never successfully reach his original world.The above discussion was about the black holes of the universe. While, regarding the black holes located on Earth, some scientists believe that many such small black holes may be present on its surface, but for some reason, their openings remain closed and rarely open, but when they are open, similar incidents as described above are seen and heard. Why do they only open occasionally? In order to get information in this regard, scientists are now trying to create small black holes in their laboratories, so that in-depth study and research can be carried out about their attributes. If this happens, then the inter-planetary movement would be possible without any difficulty, and people would be able to travel to different planet sat any time as per their convenience.
Such travels were carried out during ancient times, which is mentioned in our scriptures. It seems impossible and unbelievable nowadays because spiritual metaphysics have been reduced to hypocrisy, and spiritual knowledge is considered jugglery of roadsides. People are neither ready to accomplish ardent austerities nor eager to bring spiritual discipline into their lives. They want to acquire everything in no time. How can such eminent knowledge be attained so easily? So, they adopt deceptive means and begin to cheat innocent people. Those who are tricked lose their faith in religion and spirituality. They begin to consider the miracles of occult knowledge to be nothing but deceit. The distrust prevalent these days is a consequence of this fraud. This does not mean that everything mentioned in the scriptures is just fiction. In fact, it is not possible to assess the depth of the soul by intellectual estimates, which today has become the basis of its estimation. This is also one of the reasons for not developing belief in occult sciences.
But this cannot change the truth and facts. Interplanetary travel is such a reality, which has been carried on in the past as well, and the deserving beings can make it happen even today, and there will be scope for it even in the future. In the Van Parva of Mahabharata, there is an account of Sage Kahoda undertaking one such tour, in which he went to Varuna Loka through sea route and performed a Yagya there and then returned safely. This should not be considered as a myth but a well- developed science. This also validates the fact that the existence of different worlds is not a mere classical concept but is a reality. The sooner we can accept it, the better it will be.
