Vindication for this author as I’ve proposed the theory many times over the years. Some (not all) UFOs are plasma based life or “pre-life” as this extraordinary research paper explains. Some readers may be familiar with the work of Trevor James Constable who backed up the theory with infra-red photography. “We were right!”

Constable’s groundbreaking book which, along with other works by cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson, first proposed that some UFOs are living entities that co-inhabit the earth with us:
One may also consult the works and theories of John Keel and Jacques Vallee, both predisposed to a non-nuts’n’bolts explanation for UFOs.
And from our archives in 2017:
And the author’s own musings and speculations on UFOs as plasma-based entities:
And so the situation stood until I received the following video in my YouTube feed:
And here’s the link to the paper:
Extraterrestrial Life in the Thermosphere: Plasmas, UAP, Pre-Life, Fourth State of Matter (scirp.org)
Abstract
“Plasmas” up to a kilometer in size and behaving similarly to multicellular organisms have been filmed on 10 separate NASA space shuttle missions, over 200 miles above Earth within the thermosphere. These self-illuminated “plasmas” are attracted to and may “feed on” electromagnetic radiation. They have different morphologies: 1) cone, 2) cloud, 3) donut, 4) spherical-cylindrical; and have been filmed flying towards and descending from the thermosphere into thunderstorms; congregating by the hundreds and interacting with satellites generating electromagnetic activity; approaching the Space Shuttles. Computerized analysis of flight path trajectories documents these plasmas travel at different velocities from different directions and change their angle of trajectory making 45°, 90°, and 180° shifts and follow each other. They’ve been filmed accelerating, slowing down, stopping, congregating, engaging in “hunter-predatory” behavior and intersecting plasmas leaving a plasma dust trail in their wake. Similar life-like behaviors have been demonstrated by plasmas created experimentally. “Plasmas” may have been photographed in the 1940s by WWII pilots (identified as “Foo fighters”); repeatedly observed and filmed by astronauts and military pilots and classified as Unidentified Aerial—Anomalous Phenomenon. Plasmas are not biological but may represent a form of pre-life that via the incorporation of elements common in space, could result in the synthesis of RNA. Plasmas constitute a fourth state of matter, are attracted to electromagnetic activity, and when observed in the lower atmosphere likely account for many of the UFO-UAP sightings over the centuries.
This is all interesting because it correlates to certain statements made in a UK MOD document called Project Condign, which officially concludes that UFOs actually exist and are composed of plasma:
*Buoyant plasmas: Formed when a meteor does not fully burn up during entry to the atmosphere and remains visible to the naked eye and/or radar (my emphasis)
*Loose plasma objects: These can create a physical field, from which light will not reflect, sometimes making them appear as “black triangular crafts” of up to hundreds of feet long – a very commonly described UFO sighting
*Plasmas affecting vehicles: Sometimes the presence of such plasmas can even cause car engines and radios to malfunction if nearby.

While Condign declared that these plasmas aren’t living beings, I’ve always maintained that are a form of life. this new paper goes a long way towards confirmation of this assertion. Interesting to note that the new paper mentions UFOs possibly feeding off electromagnetic energy, which might tie in with the familiar phenomenon of car engines and radios stalling and the stalling of aircraft engines in the vicinity of “Foo fighters” during WW2.
