| - Atmospheric beasts are a classification of creature, inhabiting the atmosphere of planets (or gas giants, respectively), including high-altitude areas of Earth's atmosphere in some settings. Regularly presented as amorphic, gelatinous beings with neither color or form, they stay afloat by their gaseous, transparent bodies being lighter than the surrounding atmosphere.

- Atmospheric beasts are often described as large, balloon-like organisms, whose bodies are filled with lighter than air gases. On Jupiter, where the atmosphere is mainly composed of hydrogen, the beast would need to have hot hydrogen inside, since there is no other lighter substance. Not all atmospheric beasts are built like living balloons. Some are described as having tentacles or flipper-like organs. In some reports, they are actually cloud-like, being not completely solid, and able to change their density and their size.
- Atmospheric beasts (also sky beasts or sky critters) are organisms which could hypothetically live within the atmosphere of Earth or other . These could fly (or float) without wings as they weigh less than air. Ufologists and cryptozoologists have theorized about the existence of biological UFOs, citing photos and observations of sightings that resemble living beings more than machined craft. The controversial substance called "star jelly" is alleged by some to be composed of the bodies of dead atmospheric beasts.

| - Atmospheric beasts are often described as large, balloon-like organisms, whose bodies are filled with lighter than air gases. On Jupiter, where the atmosphere is mainly composed of hydrogen, the beast would need to have hot hydrogen inside, since there is no other lighter substance. Not all atmospheric beasts are built like living balloons. Some are described as having tentacles or flipper-like organs. In some reports, they are actually cloud-like, being not completely solid, and able to change their density and their size. A mysterious substance called star jelly, is often linked to atmospheric beasts. A famous idea is that when an atmospheric beast dies, it falls from the sky as star jelly, a smelly gelatinous mass that usually evaporates in less than a few hours. Some believe that atmospheric beasts are Earth organisms, genetically related to the other lifeforms on our world. Others prefer to think that they are some sort of extraterrestrial being, sometimes thought to be space-borne creatures. Having originated on Earth or in space, atmospheric beasts are nevertheless largely thought to be non-sapient, and thus are viewed more as animals, than as aliens that we might be able to communicate with.
- Atmospheric beasts (also sky beasts or sky critters) are organisms which could hypothetically live within the atmosphere of Earth or other . These could fly (or float) without wings as they weigh less than air. Carl Sagan proposed that this kind of animal could live in the atmosphere of a gas giant, such as Jupiter. Illustrations of atmospheric beasts have frequently appeared in books and exhibiting speculation as to the exotic forms extraterrestrial life might take. Descriptions of this sort often portray these beings as living balloons, filled with lighter than air gases. In the context of a Jupiter-like planet with a hydrogen atmosphere, such an organism would have to be a hot hydrogen balloon, since there is no other lighter gas. Ufologists and cryptozoologists have theorized about the existence of biological UFOs, citing photos and observations of sightings that resemble living beings more than machined craft. The controversial substance called "star jelly" is alleged by some to be composed of the bodies of dead atmospheric beasts. Atmospheric beasts are speculated by some as interdimensional beings, able to pop in and out of existence in a manner similar to ghosts, while they are thought by others to be fully natural biological organisms that are related genetically to terrestrial life and are built like jellyfish of the air, or that they may be alien life forms that are native to space itself rather than to any particular planet (extra-atmospheric). Rods are a presumable type of atmospheric beast.
