Life-Related Phenomena in the Thermosphere: A Multidisciplinary Inquiry into Plasma Physics, UAPs, and Pre-Life Signatures

To the point

A team of researchers including Joseph, Impey, Planchon, Gaudio, Safa, Sumanarathna, Ansbro, Duvall, Bianciardi, Gibson, and Schild is studying whether life-like processes could exist or be detectable in the thermosphere by exploring plasmas, pre-life chemistry, and other high-altitude phenomena through theory and observation.

Extraterrestrial Life in the Thermosphere: Plasmas, UAP, Pre-Life, Fourth State of Matter

A team comprising Joseph, Impey, Planchon, Gaudio, Safa, Sumanarathna, Ansbro, Duvall, Bianciardi, Gibson, and Schild investigates life-related phenomena in the thermosphere, integrating plasma physics, astrobiology, and upper-atmosphere science through theoretical modeling and observational inquiry to explore unconventional habitats for life and detectable signatures, dating from 2024 and supported by a substantial bibliography, with future observations and simulations aimed at determining whether life-like processes could exist or be detectable in high-altitude environments.
