There is water in the MESOSPHERE according to what I have read. So far its just miniscule amounts spread thin.
However;
I read 2 articles about water way up in the Mesosphere (possibly cometary water)
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1200/is_n8_v152/ai_19731995

"Reservoir of water hides high above Earth - water vapor in mesosphere"

and this article:
http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-20481255.html

"Water, water, way up high.(researchers find increased concentrations of water vapor in the middle layer of the atmosphere)"

How much water can the mesosphere retain before we have a disaster on our hands and it all comes crashing down on us?
If it comes down, will it release the Kinetic energy cause when it entered the atmosphere in the first place at thousands of miles a second,
OR, has that energy already been radiated back into space.

thank you for your answers

I am reviewing a survey on a property ion New Jersey and the Surveyor has noted "IP found" at some of the corners of the property. What does this mean? Also, some of the property contains wetlands, not active water, but secondary "marshes". There are 50 foot "transition areas" Does anyone know whether or not it is permissable to plant trees, flowers or other vegetation in theses transition areas and whether or not the property owner is permitted to mow the lawn in these transition areas?

I have this rock which looks like a normal lava rock (dark red color, full of holes, like a hard sponge) and I have had this rock for about 10 years. It's been sitting in a box the entire time. I was soaking a few of my shinier stones in regular tap water and threw the above stone in as well (not sure why, just did) and it sat in the water about 5 minutes (no more than 10) and it now has this bright green moss like stuff growing out the holes! There was nothing on this rock, but this stuff literally grew within minutes. Any idea what the heck is going on? Maybe I was wrong about the type of rock? The moss-like vegetation is a super bright green, it's remarkable.
