basic space life?

what if the "light " aliens like the ones seen on the 1996 shuttle mission are not intelligent but a kind of space jellyfish similar to life in the oceans they may use light to communicate with each other?

i suppose Ive been thinking only intelligent life could travel in space but maybe there are creatures oblivious to us humans ,could a single cell or very basic life forms live or indeed thrive in outer space?
life is robust enough to survive the pressures of the deep oceans so why not.

I'm familiar with the critters of which you speak. I've not noticed any in the Tether video though.

There's one with a "wigly-worm" in orbit looking down from either the shuttle or ISS that comes to mind.

Hey krs678, do an ats search under tether, space serpents and/or space critters and you will find a plethora of info on your premise.

Peace
ETA: I personally do believe there are organisms in space and it is like the ocean, when one shines a light into the abyss, it comes alive, teeming with life. The space worms, I am convinced are real, and the "jellyfish" objects you refer to have been explained as some kind of lens effect, but to me they look like the Dropa stones, complete with the slot cut in the edge.

An Earth bug could survive on Mars skymania.com...

Space biologists have been studying microbes that live in the hottest, coldest, driest and most unpleasant places on Earth. They found one that is remarkable for withstanding a wide range of conditions. Scientists are calling it the ultimate survivor. Labelled Methanosarcina barkeri, it is a type of microbe called a methanogen because it produces methane.
US scientists are excited about the new bug because it is not as picky as other methanogens about where it lives. It can survive long dry spells and huge temperature swings of 100 C, just as are found on Mars.

One of M. barkeri’s advantages is that it eats a wide variety of things, including wood alcohol and vinegar. But if they are not available it can feed on a mix of hydrogen and carbon dioxide, both of which are found on Mars.

It can imitate a submarine to move through water. But if water is scarce, as on Mars today, it can happily sit through a long dry spell. .

I remember reading almost a decade ago,,,

"life was found in space" or a live ingredient was discovered by one of our missions
probing a gas cloud in the depths of the universe.

It was said to essentially be... Vinegar.

Found: First Amino Acid On A Comet -Aug 2009
www.newscientist.com...

Previously, researchers have found amino acids in space rocks that fell to Earth as meteorites, and tentative evidence for the compounds has been detected in interstellar space. Now, an amino acid called glycine has been definitively traced to an icy comet for the first time.

Vinegar has been made and used for thousands of years. Traces of it have been found in Egyptian urns dating from around 3000 BC. According to Shennong's Herb Classic, vinegar was invented in China during the Xia Dynasty, around 2000 BC. In the Bible, it is mentioned as something not very pleasant (Ps. 69:21, Prov. 25:20), but Boaz allows Ruth to "dip her piece of bread in the vinegar" (Ruth 2:14). Jesus was offered vinegar or sour wine while on the cross (Matthew 27:48; Mark 15:36). In Islamic traditions, vinegar is one of the four favored condiments of the Prophet Muhammad, who called it a "Blessed seasoning".

This was just interesting and I was thinking of it when I saw your thread.
Then I looked up "vinegar" on wiki and learned something new... maybe significant...so thanks for the post and inspiration.

We call them CRITTERS... Plasma life forms...

Trevor James Constable and Wilhelm Reich first named them 'critters' in 1954.

Look up 'Plasma life forms on google. Main stream science is coming around



I figure 80%ish of ufo sightings after eliminating the obvious balloons etc are critters. Want to see one giving birth?
