There has been speculation that massive gas-bag organisms could exist in Jupiter's atmosphere. These organisms might be something like jellyfish, floating upon the atmospheric currents and eating either each other or the organic materials formed in Jupiter's atmosphere. What do you think of this possibility?
 
Everything is a possibility. They would have to be Brainless though, so it is of no real consequence.

If these organisms had brains, they would be starved of oxygen and poised-beyond-recognition.
 
With the speed and movement of the storms, and the gravity and sheer mass of the planet, I don't really see how. I mean, they would have to be radically different than life on earth - our organisms seem to be based on the necessity of water and sunlight. On Jupiter there'd be little of either. Always possible, tho. Just sorta doubtful, methinks.
