The Ancient Manuscript of Construction and Use of UFO's
Vimanika Shastra is a text on the Science of Aircraft and was a part of a bigger work Yantra Sarvasva (All about Machines)
Vimanas are widely described in the genuine ancient texts, such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata, as well as other later texts, such as the dramas of Kalidasa. They are not metaphors or hyperbole, nor do you have to be a god to own or ride one as in other mythologies. They are treated as manufactured, physical objects, even if portrayed as fanciful flying houses, invested with magical powers of levitation. Sometimes they are simply employed as a plot device to get characters from one place to the other quickly. Often they are portrayed as weapons of war.
