Aliens are like huge jellyfish than little green men, Says British Scientist


Aliens are like huge jelly fish
London :  A leading scientist at European space company Astrium, Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock has suggested that, far from being little green men, aliens could actually look like giant jellyfish. 

The bizarre creatures the British scientist has dream up are an example of life "not as we know it". 


She says the aliens are the product of what evolution might create on a world such as Saturn's moon Titan.

She also imagines that aliens drift through methane clouds scooping up chemical nutrients into their mouths, they could also be able to live off light taken in through their skin. 

Dr Aderin-Pocock imagines that the alien jellyfish could be the size of a football field and have an orange underbelly, and would be generated from silicon as opposed to carbon, which is the basis of all life as we know it. 

The orange underbelly could act as a camouflage allowing them to evade would be predators. 

The aliens are kept afloat by onion shaped buoyancy bags that dangle from their body, taking in or letting out gas in order to gain or lose altitude and they could communicate using pulses of light. 

Dr Aderin-Pocock, who was describing her alien as part of Science Month on TV channel Eden, says much of her inspiration comes from the bizarre life-forms discovered deep beneath the ocean.
