A famed
Tibetan
yogi, Milarepa is said to have possessed certain characteristics and abilities
widely attributed today to extraterrestrials in
UFO
encounters. Milarepa allegedly had
greenish
hair and skin (supposedly acquired by living on nothing but broth of green
nettles), could
fly,
and experienced out-of-body travels to other lands on Earth and to other
worlds, where he is said to have met "masters" of the spirital realm.
In addition to his unusual color, Milarepa's story contains numerous parallels
with modern UFO lore, including his alleged flying ability, his reported
meetings with spiritual "masters" in some non-Earthly environment, and
his ability to cause bodily harm to others from a distance. Moreover,
Milarepa's involvement with the occult is another similarity between his
story and personal histories of modern UFO "
contactees";
and his Tibetan origins are reminiscent of the Tibetan element in the UFO
phenomenon.
