This is awesome, but this phrasing is FN brutal - This is what it feels like to be abducted, I would imagine:
>>>"beach ball-sized chamber so that an animal is simultaneously contained and yet swimming freely in an environment nearly identical to its natural home.
>>>..The RAD-2 contains a device that collects and pulverizes tissue samples from the organisms and sucks these samples through a hole where the samples are hit with preservative and deposited on one of 14 filters for later analysis."

The interesting thing is that if it uses the antennae to detect ammonia and other chemicals as signatures of its food, a few questions would be;
Could we use the same sensor types as these gossamer and other sea creatures to develop a better life-detecting signature for chemical indicator mixtures of what we may find in atmospheres?
Can these things have a fully 3D spherical awareness of their environments so they know where the food is based on the flows of the trace chemicals it smells - its it following the thread of a scent to the food?
