There could be extremophiles living at very high altitude in the atmosphere?

It is well known that some living beings on earth have adapted to live in very "extreme" conditions showing with that the amazing adaptability capacity of carbon based life. Now it is very natural to ask about the possibility of some organisms adapting to the very rarified conditions at high altitudes, is there any active scientific program that systematically study the atmosphere's biology?

 There are many reports and very detailed recordings of what appears to be new life forms in the high level of the atmosphere.

I had been doing atmospheric observations in daylight using telescopes and I had observed and recorded what appears to be living beings but of a very bizarre and anomalous nature, let me point out just for the record than I am not a UFO believer and I fully believe that anything that is observable is "explainable" one way or the other, but I also believe in the force of empirical evidence, consistent observational data about a given occurrence strongly points to the reality of these occurrences.

 For example I had recorded several times what appears to be as an undulating autonomous vertical line, be aware that this was recorded with a telescope, but detected in infrared, it is well known that infrared spotting provides enhanced detection effectivity:

Some of these bizarre objects appear to be polymorphic as this one spotted on 10/22/15

Or some could be like localized and autonomous plasma-like like this one on 1/7/16:

 I had recorded regularly these bizarre autonomous objects from two different locations in Florida US, I am planning to do observations soon in Arizona with more clear skies.

 It appears that these bizarre objects can be observed in any location in our planet and they behave like living beings.

 Obviously this needs more systematic study and observations from independent sources. The goal of posts like this is to report about these manifestations and hopefully motivate more people to make these independent observations, the resources needed are very modest, just a little more than for observing birds flying at high altitude.

 But it appears that biologists had been missing a golden opportunity of studying possibly new life forms right here in our skies.

This area of interest had been hijacked by Ufologists when it really belongs to Biologists.

This was posted at TheNakedScientists website, it is a "sanitized" introduction to anomalies, sadly scientists and/or science types had proved to be unable to handle the full version of facts around the reality of anomalies, they really are detached from reality.

What is a Scientific View of Reality?

What is a Scientific View of Reality?

A scientific view of the world/reality is a view that is unconditional servant of consistent observational data, were no idea or theory of reality is ever cherished or final because new observational data may contradict it and then that idea or theory must be modified/discarded.

When scientific theories start being "cherished" they start to becoming dogmas, anybody questioning it will be labeled as a "crank" or worst by fellow "scientists", at that point Science is not science anymore and actually not different from any religious institution.

 Today Official Science is a big mix of that, questioning cherished/stablished ideas had become tantamount of professional suicide and new ideas/facts contradicting the orthodoxy are heavily attacked and dismissed without a proper and serious due diligence, the scientific stablishment had become the Inquisition of modern times and the damage done by that systemic/endemic/pathological modus operandi is really impossible to measure.

Actionable knowledge.

Documenting anomalies manifestations is really great, but looking for "connections" and regularities in these manifestations is even better, some of these regularities already have useful value to increase the effectiveness of our own observations. 

 For example knowing the relations between "secundary" anomalies like orbs-type or laminar-type to "main" anomalies is very useful because if you spot one of these secundary anomalies alone is very likely that one "main" anomaly will be around, I had used that insight many times when I had spotted laminar anomalies: searching around them or backtracking the path that they were following I had found others bigger anomalies. 

 Now we also know that anomalies will be in a more "natural" state, meaning poloymorphic/morphing/shape-shifting, when beyond naked eye spotting distances that is also an "actionable knowledge" because that implies that by using higher magnification optical equipment we will have more chances of spotting anomalies in polymorphic states, lower magnification equipment will capture more anomalies in mimic states, the observational data available fully confirm that.

Being aware and internalizing these actionable insights will only make you a better, more acute, Anomalies/UFO hunter. Searching for and documenting these actionable insights is perhaps the more important goal that active observers should pursue. Providing just a footage of anomalies manifestations is like giving a man just a fish for food, but providing actionable insights is like teaching a man how to fish. "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Bulletproof method to spot anomalies.

Anomaly morphing into digit "5" 11/09/15 3:08pm EST.

In anomalies observations the only clear path is to be clinically objective.

 The only clear path that can be followed in the area of anomalies studies/observations, what can be considered as the real Ufology, is to follow a "clinically objective" approach. 

 Classical Ufology had been stagnant for more than 60 years precisely by not following an objective approach and being drown, trapped in a maze of claims that are impossible to verify by direct observations. That is exactly the reason why classical Ufology can not be considered as a science as compared for example to Biology that have its specific objects of interest that are observed and studied directly by biologists. By assuming that anomalies are Ufology's subjects of interest then Ufology can be considered then as a science with its specific subjects of interests, by direct observation and study of anomalies ufologists can do exactly what biologists had been doing in Biology.

 The wonders of science that we are using almost any instant today had come to be as the result of applying "actionable/objective" procedures, all actionable knowledge that we have today about anomalies(knowledge that still the nuts and bolts UFO believers are denying) had been the result of applying objective procedures. 

 No actionable knowledge about anomalies had come to be as the result of following non-objective instructions or "revelations", no tool/instrument used to observe/objetivize anomalies had been the result of any subjective revelation either but the result of hard science/actionable knowledge. You can watch or listen to as many "Bashar" "revelations" as you want but you will not find a single actionable insight in any of them. 

 Clinical objectivity is the answer and only accepting claims supported by consistent and recurrent observations, the core of the scientific method, the success of this approach is really undeniable.

Cognitive Dissonance is the end result of modern education at all levels.

 We had already seen the pervasive use of simplistic debunking to explain away anomalies, simplistic debunking is the universal passtime of armchair theorists. For these armchair theorists building simplistic "models" of reality is a "convincing" way to "explain" reality. 

 But that logic is intrinsically flawed because simplistic models can be build or imagined of any aspect of reality. 

 A planetarium is a "convincing" model of the night sky but it is not the night sky. Modern "educated" people see reductionism as the ultimate philosophical tool to explain reality and this education has as the crown of achievement many reductionist and ideal models of reality. 

 The current status quo regarding the reality of anomalies clearly shows that this mindset is an obstacle to really be aware of this reality. It can be considered as a global pathological state of cognitive dissonance and modern education is at the root of it.
