observer.guardian.co.uk — Red rain fell for two months over Kerala, India in 2001. Scientists analyzing samples now feel it may contain extraterrestrial material from a passing comet. (The controversial finding was discussed on the New Scientist podcast, but I posted this article because NS requires a subscription to read their version.)

Well first of all, he's suggesting it. And it's all verifiable. Just ask if the government did anything with the airspace. If it's anything the government is good at, it's keeping up the paperwork. If there was a sonic boom then check the instruments. Meteorites and man-made ones have nuance differences. And find the f**king meteorite. I'm not going to say it's dubious. But anything so spectacular warrants an open mind. It sure as hell isn't dust.And the meteorite didn't create dust dude. that's precisely what it isn't. It's Carbon, Iron thing. Just think of it as Unidentified Carbon Iron material. Really Really pure Iron burned at High temperatures streaming acrosss moisture clouds could cause red rain. But sheets of RED RAIN? It also burned organic material, and specifically organic material like leaves, but not clothes. That's pretty signicant. Look at the symptoms dude. What besides alien material could cause that? That's the only NATURAL explanation. If we can rule that out then we can safely assume something more sinister--that it was man made. And that's even more to worry about.

Looks more like the first 5 min of a steven spielberg movie ... It usually starts off this way with a nondescript article somewhere far off and then a huge monster jumping out of the earth annihilating people. Dig + for following this up 5 years from now ..

personally i hope it was seed material for aliens and that they start popping up next full moon....................we need more aliens on earth.

This whole story kind of reminds me of that new TV series Invaders. Pretty soon the red rain is going to take form in exhisting human bodies, and you might be next!! (thats a joke)Anyways, consider this...its been FIVE YEARS since this event took place, why is it that there isn't some sort of reasonable solution to what happened? Hmmmm.. It seems that whenever something out of the ordinary occurs there is little press coverage. Consider the Arizona Lights for instance. The government restricted any sort of new release on that phenomena, and it wasnt until many months later that I read about it in the news....strange. The government always has control over phenomenas that are occuring each and every day in our lives, yet we rarely hear about them! Sure, you may be skeptical at any claim someone makes, for many people in this world live by the phrase "if i see it, i'll believe it." People these days are becoming too cought up with their lives to take in or even appreciate how amazing our universe is. There are astonishing things that occur every minute, but just because you weren't there to see it happen doesn't mean you should conclude it never happened. Try to be open minded. This was a very unusual event, there was little press coverage, in fact I didn't even hear about this until just recently. Is the government hiding something? Possibly...but who knows. Was this a natural occurance? More than likely, if it was indeed a meteriote, but was it something more? It would be nice to think so. Should you fear for your life? No. This is just another event that will go down in history and will slowly be forgotten unless people like us continue to discuss the matter at hand. As humans, we aren't capable of answering all questions we are handed, for nature itself has set boundaries to what we should know...and with that I'm outtie!PEACE

I just read in popsci mag June 2006 issue and this is the first time I've herd of this phenomenon, that this stuff reproduces but lacks DNA and this stuff will live in 600degree water when known upper limit for life in water is about 250degrees all this was quoted from a scientist at Godfrey Louis's laboratory in southern India....ha ha now i want to go to India and study this stuff!!

In the event that the comments/claims made are indeed accurate, then there seems to be reason to raise an eyebrow. 600 degree survivability is staggeringly extraordinary in its own right. Never mind if this is alien or not, it is unique! You know, unique, as in no where else does this occur. Explanation???Does this mean the cellular structures are "alien"? It adds credibility to such a thought. But if not, it may be even harder to explain.
