[u]Red rain could prove that aliens have landed[/u]
There is a small bottle containing a red fluid on a shelf in Sheffield University’s microbiology laboratory. The liquid looks cloudy and uninteresting. Yet, if one group of scientists is correct, the phial contains the first samples of extraterrestrial life isolated by researchers.
Hey, at least it wasn’t Purple Rain…
The Guardian. Inerrent source of valuable information.
Yeah, but it’s still better than Purple Rain. 
It was in the New Scientist too, but the meanies charge you for going on their website.
50 Tons of Bat’s Blood? You couldn’t make it up.
I believe so, Walden.
I’m more inclined to say the Crystal People might have something to do with this, also.
And only a few months before 9/11!! Complicity, complicity!!!
The alien rain weakened the structure of the towers, but for that to happen somebody would have had to install drains in the rooptops for the alien rain to be able to run down into the superstructure.
I also have it on good sources that I wont name that the alien rain was manufactured from the blood of Xenomorphs.
For a moment I thought it might have been a horrible coincidence of a rain of fish and a jet engine.
Found an interesting article about the rain here:

The pictures look decidedly cell-like.
however something struck me right away about the scanning electron microscope pic of the artifacts:
Don’t they look a wee bit like red blood cells?
Oh, also the paper on them calls them from 4-10 nanometers in size, which would be the same size as a red blood cell.
Hmm.
Aliens bleeding on us? Arggghhh!!! Where’s my tin foil??? Save yourselves!!!
‘If you look at these particles under a microscope, you can see they are not dust, they have a clear biological appearance.’ Instead Louis decided that the rain was made up of bacteria-like material that had been swept to Earth from a passing comet. In short, it rained aliens over India during the summer of 2001.
Well, whatever it turns out to be, it seems like quite a jump from “No, they are not dust” to something “made up of bacteria-like material that had been swept to Earth from a passing comet.” 
If this stuff came off a comet, then how does that show that the aliens landed? Are they saying the aliens ride on comets? What was the stuff doing on a comet? I thought comets were hot and burning, with those tails behind them. What am I not getting here?
Couldn’t the particles have been swept up into the atmosphere by winds and then fallen again in the rain? Maybe they are from aliens already on the earth. That, at least, would eliminate the comet problem.
I think the jet engine-fish idea sounds pretty convincing myself. That or some problem with biological waste.
If the physicist says they are cells without DNA in them, I think he is going to have to do more than publish a journal article about it. People are going to think it is a hoax and he is going to have to give some of his sample to other people. The photos—they could come from anything.
But see…it’s a happy cell:
That must mean the aliens are nice! 
I might agree… if there wasn’t blood on its lips.
The fact that comets are neither hot nor burning?

For what it’s worth, I think this “alien rain” is a hoax.
If it had been, the aliens would all look like this:
Alien reign?
I for one welcome our exterrestrial overloads.
Edit, Oops see below.
Exterritorial overloads? You mean the Canadians?
A letter in this week’s “New Scientist” Magazine runs as follows:
