In a study that could redefine our understanding of extraterrestrial life, researchers have explored the possibility that plasmas in Earth’s upper atmosphere might represent a form of life or pre-life conditions. The research, published on ResearchGate, delves into the behavior of plasma-like entities observed in the thermosphere, suggesting these could be more than just physical phenomena but potentially biological or pre-biological entities. The study, titled “Extraterrestrial Life: Plasmas, UAP, Shape Shifters, Replicons, Thunderstorms, Unidentified Ocean Phenomenon,” compiles observations from various sources, including NASA’s space shuttle missions. A plasma materializes above and descends into the storm and the lower atmosphere. (Bottom): Note void/nuclei (top second row). Filmed by STS 80 These missions captured images of what appear to be self-illuminating, pulsating entities, often referred to as “plasmoids,” exhibiting behaviors akin to living organisms. These entities have been observed changing shape, velocity, and even interacting with each other in ways that suggest a form of communication or predation. One of the most intriguing aspects of this research is the hypothesis that these plasmas might incorporate “RNA-world” scenarios, where the plasma could host pre-life conditions with the potential for self-replication. This theory is supported by the presence of amino acids, nucleotides, and other organic compounds in space, which could be integrated into these plasma structures, leading to complex behaviors observed. The study also touches on the phenomenon of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), often linked with extraterrestrial life in public discourse. While the research doesn’t confirm the extraterrestrial origin of these plasmas, it opens up the discussion on how life might exist in forms vastly different from what we traditionally recognize. The plasmas’ ability to shape-shift and their presence in extreme environments like thunderstorms and the thermosphere challenge our conventional biological models. Further, the research hints at these entities possibly being part of a “fourth domain of life,” distinct from the known categories of bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. This domain could encompass life forms that thrive in plasma states, potentially existing in the vastness of space or within planetary atmospheres. If plasmas in our atmosphere or space could be considered a form of life or pre-life, it would expand the search for extraterrestrial life beyond looking for water-based life forms to include plasma-based entities. This could revolutionize astrobiology, prompting new methods of detection and study in space exploration. However, the study also calls for skepticism and further research. The phenomena described require more empirical data to solidify these groundbreaking claims. The scientific community is now faced with the challenge of developing new experimental frameworks to either confirm or refute these observations, potentially rewriting the book on what constitutes life in the universe.
