Mysterious Veda-writing about aerial technology of forgotten Indian (Hindu) culture...

Ancient machinery book, ufo story or Hindu-scifi..?

PS. Originally it's text was some how "channeled" in late 19th century... So it is perfect example of those tech-occult things from 1800's :)

EDIT: Original link does not work any more so I added some new...
