Along the lines of the article on underground abduction which VNN has just
posted, here is an account from the Mahabharat about the abduction of
Duryodhana to the lower planetary systems.
( http://skyboom.com/hollowearthpuranas/index12.html )
This point is actually a little confusing. The Puranas describe a various
planetary systems below the plane of the Earth's orbit. Some are described
as having a heavenly atmosphere, and some as being places of torment.
Regardless, of whatever atmosphere of enjoyment the particular world may
have, the lower planetary systems are descibed as being places where impious
living entities dwell. It is described in the Puranas that on the Earth, we
experience both heavenly and hellish environments. Maybe this has reference
to UFO entities living underground, within the inner shell, characterised as
gnomes, trolls and fairies and such, and that engage in abductions along the
lines of the above article.
The article Genetic Vitimisation of the Surface World really develops this
theme. It is by Mike Mott:

Here is the account from the Mahabharat. This person Duryodhana was the
opponent Arjuna and Krishna of Bhagavad Gita fame and, in fact, the
Mahabharat is the story leading up to and including the Bhagavad Gita. Here
it is:
" Although sexual attraction seems to play a role in both modern and Vedic
abduction stories, there may also be other motivating factors. The abduction
of King Duryodhana in the Mahabharata is an example in which the underlying
motives involved politics and military strategy.
King Duryodhana once had an encounter with some Gandharvas, who had cordoned
off an area around a lake for recreational purposes and had blocked
Duryodhana's army from entering. When Duryodhana tried to enter anyway, a
fierce battle took place, and he was captured by the Gandharva forces. At
this point, Arjuna, who was staying nearby, used his political connections
with the Ganharvas to free Duryodhana. Arjuna and his brothers had been
driven into exile by Duryodhana, but Arjuna intervened to save him from the
Ganharvas on the grounds that he was a relative and a human being.
Duryodhana was humiliated by being saved by a person he had scorned and
mistreated as an enemy, and he decided to give up everything and fast unto
death. However, it seems that some other parties had long-standing plans for
Duryodhana, and they weren't at all pleased by this turn of events:
' Thereupon the Daityas and Danavas, hearing of his decision, the gruesome
denizens of the nether world who had been defeated by the gods, now, in the
knowledge that Duryodhana would wreak their party, performed a sacrificial
rite in order to summon him.'
With mantras, the Danavas summoned a ' wonderous woman with a gaping mouth,'
and asked her to fetch Duryodhana. This woman was a Kritya, a type of
demoniac being, and she was able to transport the king by mystical travel:
Kritya gave her promise and went forth and in a twinkling of the eye went
to King Duryodhana. She took the king and entered the nether world and a
little while afterward handed him over to the Danavas.'
[ Moderator's Note: As per our introduction, by being referred to as
residents of the " nether world," Sadaputa Dasa, the narrator, is not
referring to the hollow portion of the Earth. ]
The " Nether World " is not exactly the region beneath the surface of the
Earth. According to the Vedic literature, there are three regions known as
Svarga, or heaven. These are delineated in relation to the ecliptic, or the
orbital path of the Sun against the background of fixed stars. There is
Divya-svarga, (divine heaven ), the region of the heavens to the north of
the ecliptic. Bhauma-svarga ( earthly heaven ), in roughly the plane of the
ecliptic;and Bila-svarga ( subterranean heaven ), to the south of the
ecliptic. The Bhauma-svarga is sometimes referred to as Bhu-mandala, and it
is the " flat Earth " mentioned previously ( see pages 215 - 216 ).
... The nether regions can also be entered by taking the Pitr-Jana path,
which is said in the Vishnu Purana to begin near the constellations Scorpio
and Sagittarius and extend to the South in the direction of the star Agastya
or Canopus. This is described in more detail in Chapter 7 ( page 281 ).
Once Duryodhana was in the presence of the Danavas, they explained to him
that his presence on Earth was arranged in advance as part of their plan.
His great bodily strength and his near immunity to weapons were arranged by
their manipulations. He therefore shouldn't spoil everything by taking his
life. Danavas and Daityas, taking birth as Earthly heroes, would assist him
in his battle with the Pandavas. The Danavas also pointed out that they
would use mind control to make sure that this battle would have the desired
outcome:
' The other Asuras will take possession of Bhishma, Drona, Kripa and the
others; and possessed by them they will fight your enemies ruthlessly. When
they engage in battle, best of the Kurus, they will give no quarter to
either sons or brothers, parents or relatives, students or kinsmen, the
young or the old. Pitiless, possessed by the Danavas, their inner souls
overwhelmed, they will battle their relations and cast all love far off.
Gleefully, their minds darkened, the tiger-like men, befuddled with
ignorance by a fate set by the Ordainer, will say to one another that -
you will not escape from me with your life! ' Standing firm in their manly
might in the unleashing of manifold weapons, best of the Kurus, they will
boastfully perpetrate a holocost.'
If this wasn't enough, the Danavas also explained that the hero Karna and
the " sworn Warriors " ( a band of demons ) would slay Arjuna. After
convincing Duryodhana that he would be victorious, the Danavas arranged for
his return:
' The same Kritya brought the strong armed man back when he was dismissed,
to the very spot where he had been fasting unto death. Kritya put the hero
down, saluted him, and when the king had dismised her, vanished then and
there.
After she was gone, King Duryodhana thought that it had all been a dream,
Bharata, and he was left with this thought: I shall vanquish the Pandus in
battle.'
This story from the Mahabharat has a number of features that are seen in UFO
abduction accounts. These include:
- A strange being takes Duryodhana bodily to another location, where he has
a meeting with other stange beings.
- Mystical or higher-dimensional transport is used.
- The strange beings have human form, but look " gruesome." Certainly they
are " aliens."
- These beings have been guiding Duryodhana's life from the very beginning.
- They designed his body so that he would be impervious to weapons. Thus
they apparently engaged in genetic manipulations, or something similar.
- The aliens were planning to manipulate human beings through mind control.
- After his interview, Duryodhana returned to the spot where he was taken,
and after settling him down, his captor disappeared.
After the experience, it seemed to be a dream.
There are accounts in the UFO literature which parallel the story of
Duryodhana."
