Biological UFOs. Evidence for Extraterrestrial Extremophiles & life in Space

As depicted in NASA film footage compiled and published by this author (Joseph 2012), and as presented, analyzed, and summarized in this paper, objects resembling and behaving similar to living organisms including algae-like creatures, have been observed and photographed by four separate space shuttle missions STS-48, STS-80, STS-119, STS-75, over 200 miles above Earth within the thermosphere. Available evidence does not support a classification of “space junk”, “ice crystals” or illusions created by the camera. Many of these structures are identical in morphology, “donut-shaped”, cast darkened shadows, contain what appears to be a pulsating nucleus, and a single orifice-like triangular marking extending inward from their outer edge. They may also be many kilometers in size as predicted by the theoretical work of Carl Sagan. These objects, in excess of several hundred, have also been filmed swarming toward and around a tethered satellite from multiple directions and from what may be hundreds of miles away. Some of these structures travel at different speeds, travel in different directions, and change their own direction of movement and angle toward the camera, whereas others remain relatively stationary. Astronauts have described these objects as “definitely not rigid”, and “not a solid metal structure,” and have observed them with the naked eye. Some of these objects appear to be translucent; suggestive of a semi-transparent membrane. Computerized analysis of the flight path trajectories and velocity was performed and tracking plots were calculated for two stable sequences of film footage from the STS-75 satellite imagery with durations of 20 seconds and 53 seconds. It was determined that whereas some objects remain relatively stable, others display arcing trajectories, whereas others make sudden shifts in trajectory including dramatic 45-degree shifts, 90-degree shifts, and 180-degree turns. Further, these objects travel at different velocities, as indicated by the length of the plotted flight path. Some species of algae and many species of single celled organisms have adapted to living in extremely harsh environments and can be classified as extremophiles. Extremophiles have been discovered in almost every conceivable environment on Earth including in highly radioactive environments, and it has been demonstrated that spores and microbes can survive within the thermosphere. Coupled with the evidence presented here, there is good reason to suspect that many of the objects discussed in this paper are extremophiles which are flourishing within the thermosphere.
