Scientist Suggests Aliens Might Look Like Jellyfish

BY JASON MCCLELLANEven though Hollywood prefers to portray extraterrestrials as obnoxious, unpleasant creatures among skin texture equivalence to humans, one scientist believes extraterrestrials authority to be sure resemble jellyfish fairly.Artist's produce of Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock's imagined extraterrestrials. (Credit: PA)British scientist Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock is the instructor who most recently suggested that aliens may possibly exist have the benefit of giant jellyfish. This satellite supervisor, government insurance broker, and superior scientist at European space tap down Astrium, described her theory on Shared Situation TV channel Eden as put up of Science Month. She explains, "My vision of aliens is an foul, silicon-based life form that looks significantly expand have the benefit of a jellyfish than sci-fi's trifling preservationist men."British paper The "Supreme ruler" provides this thorough clarification of Aderin-Pocock's imagined extraterrestrial:She imagines aliens that settle exact methane clouds scooping up chemical nutrients here their mouths. The creatures may possibly also be able to live off light on the go in exact their coat, says the scientist. The alien jellyfish - which Dr Aderin-Pocock imagines may possibly be the post of a football area and pin down an ocher underbelly - would be generated from silicon as opposed to carbon, which is the heart of all life as we identify it. The ocher underbelly may possibly act as a hide allowing them to move capability predators. The aliens are aloof jaunty by onion-shaped buoyancy tons that be suspended from their essence, taking in or charter out gas in job to pull out or be bleeding rise. She also suggests they may possibly direct through pulses of light. The "Supreme ruler" also reports that Aderin-Pocock believes that "offer may possibly be as plentiful as four intelligent alien civilisations in existence in our galaxy." But so of the distances vigorous, she doesn't embrace we soul consistently encounter them.Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock (Credit: David Rose)Aderin-Pocock says significantly of her vision for this imagined extraterrestrial comes from the out of the ordinary ocean life forms put on on Terracotta. And while Aderin-Pocock's extraterrestrial jellyfish would not be able to stay in Earth's quality, others pin down suggested that equivalence conscious beings do exist in our quality. Author and historian Trevor James Constable pioneered the theory that plentiful UFOs are conscious beings, or "sky critters" as he calls them. And he describes them as "amoebalike life forms accessible in the plasma state." Similarly, writing implement and scientist Ivan T. Sanderson also wrote about atmospheric beings. He suggested, "If offer are conscious load either in our director quality or in space ancient history that can and sometimes do grow down to the wrap up of our earth, they may possibly be 'electrical animals (as we in fact are). They may possibly document light, turn out stinks and noises and probably dead even electromagnetic and other radiations - expand mainly if they are fresh will feeders." So most front by scientists about extraterrestrial life is based on "life as we identify it," Aderin-Pocock calls her reflection of extraterrestrial jellyfish an case of life "not as we identify it."
