Full Version: atmosphere beasts
They're supposed to be jellyfish like creatures that are occaisionally seen by small planes. Anyone got any info on this?
That's the first time I've ever heard of anything like that?! 
A quick Google found me this excerpt from another forum:
American researcher Charles Fort wrote in his work "The Book of the Damned" that there were weird, jelly-like beings living in the Earth's atmosphere. Medusa-like creatures, Fort wrote, had stings 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, aerogel. The lighter-than-air gel is a substance, the state of which is represents both hard and gas condition. Researchers proposed that the flesh of the mysterious creatures could be made of a similar substance. The theory can be partly proved with an incident, which occurred on 28 December, 1958, in Florida. Detective Faustin Galegos found a strange object outside his house. The detective said that he took the object in his hands, but could not feel that he was holding it. It was a translucent ball, the size of a soccer ball, and it was practically weightless. The detective did not manage to preserve it, because it virtually melted in the air several hours later. Faustin Galegos said that he had an impression of holding an unknown dead creature in his hands.
The most uneasy mentioning about the mysterious creatures of the sky belongs to researcher Robert Gardner. According to him, a transport aircraft of the US Air Force took off from an army base in San Diego in the summer of 1939. The plane, carrying 12 passengers aboard, returned to the base in about an hour, after it had sent an SOS. When servicemen opened the hatch, they saw that all 12 passengers were dead. The commander was the only person, who stayed alive, but he died in several minutes too. The dead military men had strange burns on their skin, but it did not become possible to find out their origin and what really happened on board the plane. Investigators determined that the crew and the passengers used their personal guns. The hull paneling of the plane was damaged with gunshots, as if the people were trying to kill a very fast enemy. Apparently, they failed to kill a mysterious creature.

good find
Wow.. crazy!
Curious as to why we see no present-day sightings of these......"creatures".....they probably floated to high and were eaten by dragons.

Yes, Fort was probably the first to describe such amoeba-like creatures; but also check out the work of:
* Willhem Reich;
* Ivan T. Sanderson; and
* James Constable
for info on the 'invisible residents'.
Also check the image galleries for my own postings of such possible creatures.

So, they're actually stealth planes?

if your not going to be serious about this, stop discussing.*points at back button*
From NASA, pretty common atmospheric phenom...the reason they are no longer reported is because everyone knows what "they" are. "They" are the result of positively charged lightning
There have been reports of dead birds with strange burn marks on their bodies. I would say that it is a possibility that these "flying jellyfish" may be real. I like the name Atmofish.

Thank you

Being an Atmospheric Jellyfish, onew would surmise they eat atmospheric fish and atmospheric shrimp. Maybe Roswell Rods LOL. A Fresh Atmosphere Jellyfish would eat atmospheric zooplankton. 
I wonder if smacks of them are floating around up there

actually, amospheric fish have been reported, although I belive we have concluded they eat birds.
Cuold this be related to Charles Fortean's Super Sargasso Sea?

wouldnt we see the birds in their "stomachs" then? how about when they have a bowel movement? I'm not trying to be silly here, but unless these things only eat where no one else can see them, we would see dead, half digested birds floating in the air. I almost thought maybe they made food from the sun, but then wouldnt they need chlorophyl? wouldnt that make them green? how much would be needed to stustain an animal like this?
I've read of large jelly-fish like objects in UFO books from the 70's. They supposedly would drag their tentacles over power lines and soak up the electricity. I'll see if I can find the book.

coz they float so high in atmosphere, where we cant see they digest bird.
or hide in the cloud ??

LOL, flying jellyfish... you'd think airplane pilots, airline passengers, hot air ballonist's, skydiver's and meteorologist's would report seeing these things...

Intresting post cyclops...but what are they?*x files music* 
*Starts humming the theme fron the movie Car Wash*
first ofo if these things sting things andkil lthem including the poepl in the plane so easily how was that dective able to hold one so easily. next how coudl it eat birds if it is hellyfish like in the water boyance helps them hunt but in the air gravitys impact is greater and the second something liek a bird dies it will drop liek a rock it seems a rather inafectivemeans of eating.

Beacuse the story carries as much weight as those "creatures" themselves.....insubstantial.
This is cool beyond belief.
More info, and sightings. And a possible IR photo!!!

Trevor James Constable's 1957 Amoeboid Bioform 'Critter'
This photo was taken with infrared (IR) film by Trevor James Constable on August 25, 1957 in the Mojave desert of southern California. Objects which emit heat will stand out on infrared film as lighter shades while colder objects will appear darker. Very cold areas will appear black. This shot is only one of many living atmospheric bioforms captured on IR film during the period from approximately 1957-62 by Trevor and his friend, Dr. Jim Woods, on the early morning desert plateau prior to sunrise. Some of these photos were included in Trevor's earlier book on this subject titled, They Live in the Sky. His 1975 blockbuster book, The Cosmic Pulse of Life, included this shot along with other photos of UFO's and pulsating, plasmoidal bioforms caught on IR film or in some instances, on regular high speed color film using a 18A infrared filter. Trevor usually used a Leica G 35 mm camera for stills and super 8 color film for motion pictures during the late 1950's and 1960's.

Looks like the residual image of a fingerprint or some facsimile thereof, considering the scale given to it by the background.
That picture was kind of disappointing. That could be anything. Not what I was hoping for, but still a pretty good find.

That's the problem with most pics...unless you have intricate, detailed, clear pics, it's to difficult to make-out, for sure, what that is...other than either what it looks like(a smudge to me) or what you WANT it to look like.

It looked like a breast implant to me.
Well, it did.
At least it's good to know I won't be going down alone, lol.
I guess instead of an atmospheric jellyfish, we actually discover an atmospheric...birds:)

Hey, what about some atmospheric amoeba? I understand that our sky is filled by all kinds of microbacterial organism right?
