London: Aliens may not actually resemble the little green creatures Hollywood portrays them as. Rather, they are more likely to look like “giant jellyfish with orange bottoms”, if a leading British space scientist is to be believed.
“My vision of aliens is an inhuman, silicon-based life form that looks much more like a jellyfish than sci-fi’s little green men. It is likely that extra-terrestrial life is more alien than you’d imagine,” Maggie Aderin-Pocock, government adviser in UK, said. As against the beloved little green men of Hollywood directors, they may look like football-field sized jellyfish, complete with onion-shaped appendages and an orange underbelly or bottom, the Daily Mail reported quoting the scientist.
“But while they might resemble jellyfish, they will live not in the sea but in the atmosphere of a Jupiter-like planet, where they float around,” Aderin-Pocock said. — PTI
