New research seems to suggest the existence of unknown microbes, just as I've been writing about recently. I told you, that extraterrestrial life is hiding on Earth!

Has your state had frost or freeze warnings yet?!
Seems as though we might not be getting any frost this month...almost!

Is Extraterrestrial Life Hiding On Earth?
Introduction
There's something strange about our world that we might not even know about; extraterrestrial life could be hiding here on Earth. Sure, there might be a theory that extraterrestrial life is in another dimension. Sure, microscopes let us see microscopic life, yet if the life is also too fast, then we might not know that it exists. Maybe that life, which might require a slow motion electron microscope, also doesn't interact with visible light. The idea is that, we can't use equipment to observe reality much, if the technology is too advanced. The idea here is that we live in a world where we think we can detect everything that exists. Reality essentially tries to escape us; we discover reality's secrets at the microscopic level; then reality still has an advantage over us, because although we might have an electron microscope, if reality happens too quickly, then the microscope might be too slow to register phenomena that happens to be moving too quickly. And reality still has an advantage over us; if we try to record through a microscope using a slow motion camera, that camera will not record the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and the extremely fast, microscopic phenomena, might not even interact with light which we can see. Then again, reality still has an advantage over us, because that extremely microscopic briefly occurring phenomena, which maybe doesn't even interact with light, could be in another dimension. ~Out in space, there might be an exotic form of gas which might not be native to Earth, yet it might be found in the atmosphere because it has wandered in from space. That gas would most likely be extremely diluted, or sparse.
Abstract Summary
Consider the fact that this gas could theoretically condense and form a barrier inside of which would essentially be a miniature world, which could exist sporadically on Earth, and extraterrestrial life could exist inside of the enclosed environment, isolated against our hostile environment, for a very small amount of time.It might be that if enough of the gas condenses at the ground, it might form a micro climate. The gas could be repellent to the normal environment, such as the inside of the gas could be a warm environment while the outside environment is cold and inside of the gas, there could be extraterrestrial bacteria. The gas would dissipate very quickly, so the extraterrestrial bacteria would be gone quickly. The gas could be extremely rare, so we don't even know that it exists in the atmosphere. The mist is extremely resistant to the outside environment and doesn't let in water. For example, mist could divert water around itself, such as the mist would be a barrier through which water could not go through. There could be a stream of mist flowing through a river, and the water would need to weave around the mist. We don't know about the existence of extraterrestrial life on Earth, because of the fact that the conditions that need to combine for the mist to form are sporadic and to actually notice the extraterrestrial life while it is still alive, is unlikely. And the bacteria need to float down to Earth, where there is an extremely small chance that the bacteria will float down into a puddle of this rare gas, and into a micro climate, which dissipates quickly.

Going Well Beyond The Visible Spectrum, In A Conventional Camera?
Hi there.
Today I will write about the research that I did about being able to see past the visible light spectrum. I asked various people on the internet about building and/or obtaining a camera that could have a spectral response much greater than a conventional camera. Sure, there are relatively conventional cameras which see Near Infrared, as well as Ultraviolet light, practically down to about three hundred Nanometers, which people modify from existing cameras. I think it's a fascinating topic, though I think that it would be truly fascinating to go well beyond those limits, and expand the range of a conventional camera from 190 Nanometers to approximately 1800 Nanometers. So, as I've mentioned in the above paragraph, this is not about the cameras which people modify, which see merely a very narrow spectrum of Ultraviolet light, which starts at about three hundred Nanometers and go to about one thousand Nanometers. It's much more interesting to explore the world in full spectrum by going beyond such a narrow spectrum, though such an exploration is also quite mysterious at the same time, because essentially it hasn't been achieved before.
Obviously, this wouldn't necessarily be considered conventional. Also, I think that film is an interesting medium, as it is thought that film sees more than modern digital cameras.
It is also obvious, to someone who has done their research, there are serious challenges when you shift the color spectrum of a camera beyond the visible light spectrum. The challenge with the Infrared light spectrum is that at such immense light wavelengths, a camera sensor produces low resolving ability due to diffraction. The benefit though, is that Infrared light is not easily diffused by air molecules, which means that what seems to be fog to us in the visible light spectrum could be invisible to Infrared light.
The challenge with the Ultraviolet light spectrum is that at such immensely short light wavelengths, the light diffuses and is absorbed in the air relatively quickly. It's as though there is a fog that exists, though the fog is usually entirely invisible to the visible light spectrum. The benefit though, is that Ultraviolet light expands the depth of field, so objects that are closer to a camera can be focused more easily with greater detail, and the detail will expand further into the background, which will be more
in focus, unlike Infrared light which causes only a narrow focus. This is readily noticeable at the microscopic scale, which also introduces diffraction, and at which extremely small scale such as the quantum, the only viable method for exploring reality is by implementing Electrons.
Getting back to the topic, the most important aspect of a camera in being able to see beyond the visible light spectrum would most likely be the lens. The lens that belongs to a conventional camera is made out of glass that doesn't allow much light beyond the visible light spectrum to be transmitted, and almost all Ultraviolet light does not get transmitted. So even by just modifying an existing camera, people already think that their full spectrum camera can see much in the Ultraviolet spectrum. A regular lens has an Infrared coating, and so does the filter used in modern cameras, also called a hot mirror. A lens made of Quartz increases, or helps to make the spectrum of Ultraviolet light more visible to a camera. A lens made of fused silica might shift the spectrum even further.
Now that the lens has been explained, how about any other technical difficulties with a regular camera?
The sensor that people usually implement in conventional cameras is made out of Silicon. Silicon becomes unresponsive to light which resides at a wavelength of approximately less than 250 Nanometers. People have tried, and it is definitely not possible, let alone easy. So to create a camera with improved spectral sensitivity, specialized sensors have been implemented for scientific equipment. Such sensors are called back-thinned sensors. Astronomical cameras have such advanced technology. Then there is what's known as a back-Illuminated UV-Enhanced-Silicon sensor.
So, the conclusion about going well beyond the visible spectrum, in a conventional camera, is that the best method or solution of seeing much of any Ultraviolet light, or expanding the Infrared spectrum further, is to actually build a camera yourself. Some astronomical cameras use back-thinned sensors. Modern cameras use sensors which are becoming progressively more responsive to light beyond what our vision can perceive, though there are various challenges which make exploring beyond the visible light spectrum practically impossible by using a conventional camera, no matter how advanced the sensors become in the future. New technologies need to be combined to explore the unknown. People claim that they see strange phenomena and we know about this as paranormal. I'm a skeptic, though I know that there is much more to what we can see.
