Alien Rain
Quick! Hide the women and children! Leave Aunt Petunia out on the veranda! The aliens are coming!
That at least is the conclusion of some, to explain the red rain that fell over the Kerala district of western India for about two months in the late summer of 2001. The believers supposition is that a meteorite went ka-bloomy over Kerala, shedding microbes that mixed with the rain as it fell. The rain was so red that it coloured people's clothes pink. Initial analysis found the particles in the rainwater to be 50% carbon, 45% oxygen, with traces of sodium and iron, but with no DNA. The idea of alien rain isn't that far fetched. Some believe that life on Earth took hold after just such a seeding by interstellar biology.
There non-believers, of course, and their idea is that the whole thing is just "bullshit." And since this is India we're talking about, I can only conclude that they must mean it was some sort of religious experience.

What does one wear to an Alien invasion I wonder?
