The Red Rain of Kerala, India

[Rukas]

Ive never heard about this but it certainly is interesting. Apparently between July 23 and September 25 in 2001 Red Rain fell in a state of India.

At first it was thought that the red rain was caused by a meteor break up throwing red dust into the atmosphere, or dust being transplanted from elsewhere, but it was found that the substance in the rain was biological in nature and not dust. Then it was thought it was caused by an airborn algae, but this was also disproved.

The substance is biological yet contains aluminum and has no DNA, both are very strange factors.

Certain scientists believe that the Red Rain may be extraterrestrial in nature, Alien cells, so to speak, and may in fact be proof of the panspermia theory that says human life was transplanted here from a different source in the Universe, or at least, the first cells that then evolved, a theory Ive always liked myself.

Red rain in Kerala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Read all about it, its pretty interesting, make sure you read the whole thing it gets better towards the end. Apparently 50,000 kilograms of the red stuff dropped in the rain, that's a lot!

What do you all think?

Heres another interesting factor:

Louis claimed that the red particles "reproduce plentifully", and that they did so even in "water superheated to nearly 300 °C"

Dude Ive told you this before, you read some weird ass shit sometimes.

 

[Preach]

very interesting.

Brenna concludes: "My chemical tests are consistent with a terrestrial origin for this material. This doesn't mean it is not extraterrestrial, but it certainly does not support it.

This is consistent with the theory that I like.

Brenna concludes: "My chemical tests are consistent with a terrestrial origin for this material. This doesn't mean it is not extraterrestrial, but it certainly does not support it.

This is consistent with the theory that I like.

That test was based on the carbon and nitrogen levels, and even the carbon was a "high" level, but the data fits with terrestrial objects such as plants. So basically, the nitrogen and carbon levels support Earth origin.

Yet that test only looks at those two factors, nitrogen and carbon. You're ignoring all the further tests conducted on it, the fact it doesnt burn at 300 degrees like any plant matter would, the fact that it only rained in ONE area and if it was plant spores in the air it would have traveled with the wind, the fact it is biological but has no DNA like plants do, etc etc.

These things disprove the Cornell University theory that you quoted because they stated the Red stuff was marine or plant life, but further tests prove that it isnt.

This is a drunk, uneducated, wild guess long-shot:

space filth in the form of, oooh, i don't know, some form of debris? an ancient frozen gobbet of dirty ice hurtling through the atmosphere, melting?


Don't get me wrong, I'm not "searching" for "logical" explanations to disprove (not the right word but im too lazy to find a better one) the weird (alien) shit but it sometimes seems to me these "mysterious" happenings could sometimes have a very simple, almost insignificant source.

Anyway..

Read the wiki article. They initially thought that it was a meteor or a comet but if it were then the red particles would have spread around further and the red rain wouldnt have lasted in the one area for 2 months.

Plus, even if it were a comet, frozen piece of space ice, or meteor, this would then make it's origins extra terrestrial right?

 

[Duke]

^ Technically true, although with extraterrestrial most people would associate different things.

I'm kinda drunk and stoned and haven't made an effort to read the article yet. I will attempt so now.

 

[Rukas]

^^ Well?

 

[S O F I]

^Well, he's still drunk and stoned.

i read some of it. Its interesting, but i just ended finals from college. fuck that.

im sorry, i will read it later. lol

 

[Rukas]

Sofi, LOL.

 

[Preach]

Duke had inet access for a couple of weeks but now he's back to Sundays

I read it yeah. I don't really know what to think it is, but the alien mushroom theory is the one i'm betting on.

 

[Duke]

So I finished reading that (took me days!!) and it's definitely interesting! I'm not too convinced about the wild theories, however. But I also don't want to dismiss those firsthand.

This is a classic scientific problem. We just don't know yet. Somewhere along the line, be it in 5 years or 50, the explanation for this will come to the surface. In the meantime, everyone with a good theory is welcome.

I havent slept for a day and a half but i cant sleep so i came back to this thread. Hopefully i make sense...


Critics also argue that the lack of DNA is not proof that these organisms are either prehistoric or extraterrestrial, noting, "further work in progress has yielded positive for DNA using DAPI staining in the cells and daughters."[34] This identification, however, is not yet fully confirmed, and might be considered equivocal...

Not proof but, its not saying that they are wrong either.

Reports indicated that on August 21, 2007 red coloured rainfall occurred in a few places in the northern part of Kozhikode district. Places around Vadakara, a municipality in Kozhikode district, which is 50 kilometres (31 miles) northward of Kozhikode town witnessed this phenomenon
the river Periyar turned red in the region of the Eloor industrial estate.[41]

A possibly related incident occurred in February 2008 when small fish rained down on Kerala.

So, basically it keeps happening in the same area, and it all involves things coming from the sky. If i remember correctly, my philosophy teacher was saying that there was a supernova or sonic boom not too long from the last date. I think i even remember seeing the flash.

Something is out there, and maybe there are germs or cells on rocks that are bringing them here, like that theory said.

Anything is possible, but i find it weird that this only happens when something occurs in space...

Aliens exist...too big of a place for nothing else to exist.
