Any microbe that was adapted to outer space most likely would implode in earths' atmosphere, in my opinion.

They could just as easily be adapted to Earth's upper atmosphere rather than vacuum. That would make them just strange, rather than alien.

Actually, that makes more sense. The upper atmosphere (Way past the mountains) could be hot - Dunno, havn't read anything about that.

You are more right than you realize (whoa, a smart mouse..whodathunk ). The full details are here, but the region of the atmosphere that you're indirectly referring to is the (aptly named) thermosphere.

Quote:
The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. The temperatures go up as you increase in altitude due to the Sun's energy. Temperatures in this region can go as high as 1,727 degrees Celsius. Chemical reactions occur much faster here than on the surface of the Earth. This layer is known as the upper atmosphere.
