The Precipice

Rural Invaders from Outer Space ; What happens @ a freezing point of 60!?
I can hear strange, string like instruments reminiscent of horns on another planet . It is raining "fairy dust" outside. There are those spheres of ice again. Sometimes there are different shapes of ice crystals descending onto the land, but most of them are hollow with thin walls. They are made up of various sizes, and come down at various speeds. The average speed would be somewhere in between 1/4th and 5 miles per hour. They are extremely thin. They look as though the northern lights are descending upon the lands. But this has nothing to do with geomagnetic particles. Instead, the glowing nature of these crystals are due to what is known as "alien intruders", or microscopic lifeforms which glow various colors. Their color depends on what the air pressure is outside. The freezing point out here is approximately 65 degrees F. These crystals can often become relatively hot inside, causing them to float among the atmospheric bodies of air. But it is not just heat that can drive these crystals high into the air; another thing that plays a major role in this phenomena is caused by the microbes that reside inside. They live off of methane, and release the gas known as hydrogen. This gives the ice crystals extra bouyancy. The pressures here can range between 20 in., at which the bacteria stay invisible, all of the way to 39 in., at which their color will have most likely changed all of the way from red to violet, through the entire visible spectrum. Their colors, however, take on a whole different meaning when it comes to changing temperatures. They can exist best at a temp. of about -23 to -25 degrees. Once dead, they start "consuming" light, due to their chemical composition. In fact, they also consumed light once they were alive as well, except that when they die, they start emitting all of that light out. The light is pretty much invisible at temps of 36 degrees, or colder. Why? The light being emitted is mostly in the form of IR, exceeding 740 NM. which can actually be seen with some equipment. Above 36 degrees, they start emitting high wavelength, dark red light. At around 45 degrees, this color starts to slowly transition to orange. Once they reach 55 degrees, the color starts to transition to yellow. Upon reaching 60 degrees, it goes straight to green, and can change to blue once the temp reaches at least 70 degrees. The next color would be violet, once the temp reaches 72.5 degrees. At 75 degrees, the color changes to UV, and can keep changing until the temps reach approx. 127 degrees, at which point the emitted radiation actually starts to become actual x rays. If one were to light a camp fire while those ice crystals were coming down, then one could notice that, upon coming close to the flames, the crystals would act as if they were soap bubbles, and emit all of their hydrogen, causing a small, yet dangerous, explosion. And, as a result, the crystals could emit a large amount of radiation, depending upon the amount of bacteria present inside. These crystals actually disintegrate once in a while, after colliding with the ground, causing what are called "ice fractures", which is actually a word used to describe the sounds emitted by these miniature "explosions". They are essentially the same sound which is found in my new track. When the temps soar, these crystals can emit a large amount of gas into the air, and any crystals that are still falling can actually start floating, or levitating, from the rising Hydrogen.  Upon falling in the mountainous areas, any spherical crystals will actually start rolling downhill! These are some wonders of what happens one the freezing point of water is increased. The emission of IR at low temps is beneficial to help moderate those areas which one would find cold, well, at least by a minuscule amount anyways.
Black lights are really popular, especially if it's over 75 degrees out, because the ice will actually start to fluoresce. At extremely low or high temps, there will most likely still be some visible light emitted, although it would then be ambient. These lifeforms are thought to actually thought to work using photosynthesis. They were once large, at least a few inches or so in diameter, until they developed photosynthesis. That's when they grew smaller. In the summer months, the temp. surges to an incredible 146 or more degrees F, with tropical forests, and plants the like of which planet Earth has never seen b4. It is thought, or at least the legend goes that, these plants wouldn't be growing at all if it were not for the ET's coming down and fertilizing the soil. The temporary radiation is thought to have some pretty interesting influence on the ecosystem, and how plants evolve.
