If the Nazca Lines were ancient airports (and they weren't or else we'd have found evidence of ancient Cinnabons) then what were the aircraft that might have flown out of them? To Ancient Aliens theorists, the answer is Vimanas — mythological flying chariots described in ancient Hindu texts.

At least, that is the conclusion you'd probably come to if you just made a whole bunch of stuff up. Which is, of course, what happened.
