Abstract
In recent years many arguments have been gathered in favour of the existence of a pregalactic generation of very massive objects (VMOs). An early generation of massive stars, which become pair unstable at the end of their evolution (M > 80 Mo) may manifest itself by its influence on the galactic chemical abundances and on the intensity and spectral distribution of the cosmic microwave background radiation. In the following we list some of these points.
