Plasmas: A Fourth Domain of Life? RNA, DNA, Consciousness and Statistical Analysis of "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena" in the Thermosphere

The data presented here, combined with our previous reports, challenge all conceptions of what constitutes “life,” the origins of life, consciousness, and UAP. Self-illuminated plasmas (AKA plasmoids/UAP), with a nucleus and double cellular layers, engage in complex behaviors in the thermosphere and display multiple forms of communication, mutual awareness, purposeful contact-seeking, and cellular-mitosis and ejection-secretion of interactive plasmoid-clouds and additionalplasmoids that contact other plasmas. Plasmas communicate by signaling via oscillations in size and illumination and turn, follow, target and collide, merge or pierce other plasmas, whereas yet others form thick glowing plasma bridges linking multiple plasmoids together; reminiscent of colonies of algae and colliding galaxies and release glowing plas matic clouds in their wake; reminiscent of a comet’s tail; and upon descending into the lower atmosphere are perceived as UAP/UFOs. Dusty plasmas display mutual awareness, engage in life-like, intelligent behavior, have cellular mem branes and a nucleus, and may have generated RNA then DNA via the assimilation of all necessary elements available in space; and fashioned a plasma genome via the incorporation of the genomes of bacteria, algae, fungi, lichens, etc. propelled into the upper atmosphere by bolides, hurricanes and powerful winds; and as such have biological attributes and are alive. Plasmas represent a fourth state of matter, and it is believed 99% of the universe consists of plasma in various states and which repeat patterns from the micro to macro levels. Statistical analysis supports all hypotheses and quantifies differential and unique morphological and behavioral characteristics of plasmoids that were filmed by NASA space shuttle missions over 250 Km above Earth. Mor phological and behavioral analyses were made of 91 consecutive freeze-frames (T1 - T91) taken every 0.2 s. In addition to distinct and diverse forms of mor phology, it was determined that plasmas accelerate to exceptional velocities (up to 35.6 Km∙s−1), and make abrupt 163˚ turns in trajectory, turn, follow and appear aware of each other. In addition to morphology, four “collision events” were analyzed in detail and all plasmas altered velocity, trajectory, and/or shape either before, during, or after the collision event. Additional analysis revealed what resembles networks and chains of filamentary plasmatic mag netic flux ropes and cables in the thermosphere. These vast plasma macro tubules and neural networks may be producing plasmoid entities. Ganglia neural networks may have also been detected in some plasmoid specimens. Plasmaoid have electrical and electromagnetic properties similar to the brain. Macro-tubule plasma flux capable may serve similar functions as micro-tu bules, and coupled with behavioral data, support the hypothesis that plas mas/plasmoids are alive and have consciousness.
