Mysterious blood rain phenomenon in India

In July 2001, a mysterious red-blooded rain poured into a large area of ​​southern India. But even more surprising in the raindrops, scientists have discovered living DNA-free living cells (the basic component of life on earth). Is this the first evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life?

Local people believe it to be an omen in the world apocalypse, although there has been an official explanation of the phenomenon of desert dust blowing from Arabia.

But a regional scientist, Dr. Godfrey Louis, a physicist at Mahatma Gandhi University, thinks something unusual has happened. Dr. Louis not only discovered the presence of tiny biological cells in rainwater, but because it did not contain DNA - a key component of all life forms on earth - Louis argued that it might be alien life forms . A few British scientists had made this theory before Louis for several decades.

Clearly, Louis has strange structures, thick walls, red cells-like, about 10 microns in size. What's more amazing, dozens of Louis experiments show that particles may lack DNA, but there is still plenty of fertility, even they can exist in water at 300 ° C (Known gender). The highest term for domestic life is about 120 o C).

How to explain this phenomenon? Dr. Louis deduced that the particles could be extraterrestrial bacteria adapting to harsh conditions in space and the bacteria are clinging to comets or meteors and then breaking up in the upper atmosphere. and merging into the rain clouds in the sky over India.

If Louis's theory is correct, then these cells will be the first evidence to prove alien life and from there may be new evidence of the origin of life on earth (?).

In 2005, Louis sent several samples to Sri Lankan-born British astronomer Chandra Wickramasinghe and colleagues at Cardiff University in Wales and they are currently experimenting with replicating the samples.

Through research, Wickramasinghe said: 'We have great pictures of these sliced ​​cells in the middle. We see them multiply, with small cells in large cells. '

Louis's theory is particularly appealing to Wickramasinghe. About a quarter of a century ago, Professor Wickramasinghe was co-authored with Sir Fred Hoyle about Modernism, the idea that life on earth originated from another planet.

Professor Wickramasinghe said: ' If it is true that the life of comets is brought to Earth 4 billion years ago, then it can be assumed that occasionally microorganisms continue to penetrate our environment. This is probably one of these events . ' Microbiologist Milton Wainwright of Sheffield University, a member of the science team studying Louis's samples, explained that the next step would be to determine whether the cells lack DNA.

Wainwright explains: ' Because of life as we know it must contain DNA, or it is not life. But even if this creature is proved to be abnormal, the absence of DNA does not mean it comes from another planet . '

Louis and Wickramasinghe are planning further research to test cells with carbon isotopes. If the results show that they are beyond the standard of life on earth, it will be convincing evidence for Louis's theory.

Professor Wickramasinghe set out for India to directly investigate the phenomenon of red rain. He met Dr. Louis and they both visited people who witnessed the red rain.

Louis's research shows that red rain can regenerate at 300 ° C, a key attribute of outer-space microorganisms that withstand extreme temperatures. All of this makes Professor Wickramasinghe believe that red rain is a form of alien life.

The monk said: 'Before I came to India, I doubted if the actual red rain was a sign of a life form coming from space. But after contacting Godfrey, I believe that the red rain represents the invasion of bacteria from space '.

However, many scientists are still skeptical of the theory of Panspermia. In any case, Professor Wickramasinghe still believes in his theory. He said: 'I absolutely believe we are right. If a theory is wrong, then sooner or later it will conflict with the observations. But everything has happened since 1977 - when we first came up with these ideas - and are gradually being determined, without rebuttal or proof. '

But many scientists have strongly criticized Professor Wickramasinghe because he claimed that the virus that caused Sars respiratory syndrome in 2003 and bird flu in 2000 came from space!

Over the past three decades, Professor Wickramasinghe has received many intimidating letters and phone calls to his ideas, but professor's panspermia theory is now increasingly accepted.

The evidence is that more and more investment is in finding space life. According to Professor Wickramasinghe, the skepticism and criticism of the scientific community is mainly the attitude of pre-Copernic times.

Before the mid-fifteenth century, people thought that the earth was the center of the universe. Galileo and Copernic with others at the time rejected this view, but underwent a long struggle for people to abandon the view of the earth as the center. Professor Wickramasinghe said: ' I think the universe is full of sentient life . and sooner or later we will be exposed to alien intelligence '
