It's Raining Aliens!

The eerie red rain that fell over India is an alien life form, according to scientists at Sheffield University's microbiology laboratory and Mahatma Gandhi University in Kerala.

For several months in 2001, India's western lands suffered a deluge of blood. The deep-red downpours even burned the leaves off trees and turned white clothes pink.

The first explanation was that red sand from the Arabian Peninsula had somehow been swept up and carried for more than a thousand miles.

But it wasn't true. Once scientists got the red stuff under a microscope, they realized the rain was alive.

"If you look at these particles under a microscope, you can see they are not dust, they have a clear biological appearance," physicist Godfrey Louis told the Observer.

"In short," the paper reported Sunday, "It rained aliens over India during the summer of 2001."

The implications are staggering.

Not only are interplanetary microbes now falling upon us and living on our clothes and perhaps inside our bodies, but India's rain of alien life forms suggests that the first life on Earth was nothing more than bacteria shed off a passing comet or asteroid.
