There are old Indian reports of India being invaded by "demons" from
a land in the sky, and they all looked alike, and they wore garments
called nivatakavacha, which was interpreted as "no-air-suits". Alas
for someone's ufological ideas, someone else pointed that
Sanskrit "ni-" = "without" is correctly "niH" and would be "nir-" if
the next sound is a voiced consonant, and the word means "practical
layer garment", i.e. several layers of ordinary garments, and the
land in the sky was likely merely Tibet.
