Jaganath Meteor Storm 2003.
This event had happened during September 2003, in state of Orissa, wedid have an opportunity to visit the Village Sudsudia, Mayurbhanj District, Orissa, where we did meet Mr.Nayak whose roof of his hut was completely burnt by the fireball, and girl member was so shocked, who revealed the event to us. We did recover good number of samples in Sudsudia, Kendrapara,and other areas where the meteor storm had hit. We published our findings in Current Science of September 2004.

That red rain thing isn’t isolated. I have heard stories of rain of varying colors appearing in other parts of the world. Probably just dust or something. It would an amazing coincidence for alien biology to crash land here I think.

I remember reading the article in NS. The particles contained no DNA but were about the size of red blood cells. There were no real conclusions (and I can’t find the issue to re-read it) but the particles were biological looking not mineral (dust etc).
Strange for sure.

Phil,

Hey man, don’t worry about it!:)

Blood red rain? Probably some sort of reddish dust.

Here’s another link, from New Scientist online:

http://www.newscientist.com/channel/life/mg19025453.100-red-rain-puzzle-is-still-up-in-the-air.html

the lead-in:
It is looking increasingly unlikely that the red particles in rain that fell over southern India in 2001 are alien microbes, but their identity remains a mystery

OK…WOW. Now I am getting a little excited!
