Zeroids
The Zeroids are a form of alien whose name was proposed by Dr. Franklin Ruehl. The Zeroids are theorized as a way to explain UFOs, saying they are living creatures originating in space. Prebiotics in gas clouds are thought to be their origins, and organic compounds that are known to exist in space could serve as building blocks for these creatures. They could be simple or complex creatures in their structure. Due to their origins out in the universe, it is possible these creatures could be older than any known species. It’s theorized that they consume intergalactic dust and gas, or possibly each other. It is thought they would have difficulty entering and maneuvering earth’s atmosphere, and only ones that have developed physical or electromagnetic shielding could be the explanation for various UFOs. Zeroids have been theorized as an explanation for a UFO sighting in Romania in 1976, which resembled a living ball of light. Zeroids are also thought to be a possible explanation for “space worms” which were photographed in British Columbia in 1978.
