Sea jellyfish is an alien life form found on earth
there is another type :
Atmospheric Jellyfish
Atmospheric Jellyfish (better known as Atmospheric beasts) are
cryptids that are alleged to reside in the that seem like living
creatures, however go against all the usual rules that are applied
to living things.
Description
They fly without the need for wings and their bodies are
semi-solid, often partially invisible. Many atmospheric jellyfish
sightings were originally classified as unusual UFO reports,
however they may be an offshoot of other potential creatures that
might as well possibly reside on other planets within our own solar
system or in giant gas clouds that reside in extra-terrestrial
space.
Some speculative theories suggest that these creatures in our own
atmosphere might be distant cousins of Jupiter or Saturn like
creatures that inhabit both of the gas giants upper atmospheres.
Noted Bigfoot cryptozoologist author Ivan T. Sanderson devoted an
entire book to the theory that many UFO sightings that have
occurred, are in actuality extremely low density animals native to
the atmosphere of specific planets, including that of Jupiter or
Saturn. Other researchers theorize that these creatures originally
came from space and decided to take up residence in our upper
atmosphere.
For cryptozoologists who believe in them, they are very fragile and
lightweight creatures who are either native to Earth or are aliens
that came from elsewhere. If the latter theories are relevant, then
atmospheric jellyfish are sometimes thought to have originated in
the atmosphere of some other Solar system planet and have migrated
to Earth, but they can also be thought of as originating in
interstellar gas clouds of space, so that they are, in effect,
alien life forms without a native planet, with the ability to
"swim" through space itself.
Findings
The first known incident of where perhaps atmospheric jellyfish
were reported was by noted cryptozoologist researcher Robert
Gardner, and that it occurred back in the summer of 1939, when a US
Army Air Force plane with 12 passengers and a crew of two aboard
took off from an Army base in San Diego, California. The plane, had
been flying for just about an hour before sending out a distress
call. After sending out that distress signal to the base, the plane
with its passengers and crew returned to the base in San Diego.
Upon arrival, Army servicemen opened the hatch to the interior of
the plane and were horrified when they saw that all 12 passengers
and one of the pilots were dead. The other pilot, the commander of
the flight, was the only person, who stayed alive, but he died in
several minutes after landing the plane. Investigators from the
army examined the dead military men, to discover that all of the
men on board that had died had strange burn marks on their skin,
but it did not become possible to find out their origin point, and
what really happened on board the plane during the flight.
Investigators further determined that all of the passengers onboard
the plane had used their personal firearms as the hull paneling of
the plane was riddled with gunshots exit points, as if the people
inside the plane were trying to kill a very fast yet unseen
enemy.
Also according to American researcher Charles Fort, who wrote in
his work The Book of the Damned, that there were weird, jelly-like
beings that live in the Earth's atmosphere. Medusa-like creatures,
which had stingers and tentacles, which they used to hunt for
birds. The existence of such creatures seemed to be unbelievable
for a very long time, until American scientists developed a special
substance known as aerogel. The lighter-than-air gelatin is a
substance, the state of which is represents both solid and gaseous
conditions. Researchers proposed in theory that the flesh of these
atmospheric jellyfish could be made of a similar substance. The
theory can be partly proven with another incident, which occurred
on December 28th, 1958, in Florida. in the report, police detective
Faustin Galegos found a strange soccer ball sized object outside
his house. The detective took the object in his hands, but could
not feel that he was holding it. It was a translucent purplish
ball, and it was practically weightless. Galegos did not manage to
preserve it, because it virtually melted in the air within several
hours of finding it. Galegos later stated that he had an impression
of holding an unknown dead or dying creature in his hands.
In a third case, a British policeman described an encounter with
one of these creatures that had supposedly happened while
bicycling. The thing felt like a soft blanket and smelled like
mildew. After it rubbed against him, it silently floated away. It
was one of the most terrifying experiences that policeman had ever
had in his life.
In other various eyewitness accounts that have occurred since 1958,
atmospheric jellyfish can change their density, becoming smaller,
harder masses that are usually metallic in color, or they can
become larger and cloudlike, even to the point of invisibility. In
some reports, they may even glow. The normal habitat of these
creatures are high in the atmosphere, near the very edges of space
or possibly as low as the top of the tropopause, and they might die
if they ever came in contact with the ground. Atmospheric jellyfish
resemble clouds and may engage in behavior that is thought to be
impossible for a real cloud, such as squirting a stream of
horizontal water at people through "lips" or being far too mobile
and animate for witnesses to believe it was just a patch of
fog.
While some compare these creatures and call them "Air whales" The
most notable design of these creatures are very much like the
invertabrate sea creature known as Cubozoa coronate or crown
jellyfish, and thus hence the term atmospheric jellyfish is often
coined.
In Popular Culture
*The TV Series The Secret Saturdays has an episode entitled The
Swarm at the Edge of Space that features Atmospheric Jellyfish as
the new cryptid introduced. A swarm of them were attacking a large
aircraft because one boy had a prototype Jellyfish control device.
The boy eventually disposes of it.
*The first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Encounter at
Farpoint," features an alien species that closely resembles an
atmospheric jellyfish that has evolved to travel in
space.
