My god, I'm full of aliens.

How the hell will my tinfoil work now???


Mysterious red cells might be aliens

As bizarre as it may seem, the sample jars brimming with cloudy, reddish rainwater in Godfrey Louis's laboratory in southern India may hold, well, aliens.

In April, Louis, a solid-state physicist at Mahatma Gandhi University, published a paper in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal Astrophysics and Space Science in which he hypothesizes that the samples -- water taken from the mysterious blood-colored showers that fell sporadically across Louis's home state of Kerala in the summer of 2001 -- contain microbes from outer space.

Specifically, Louis has isolated strange, thick-walled, red-tinted cell-like structures about 10 microns in size. Stranger still, dozens of his experiments suggest that the particles may lack DNA yet still reproduce plentifully, even in water superheated to nearly 600 degrees Fahrenheit . (The known upper limit for life in water is about 250 degrees Fahrenheit .)

1. That stuff is NOT from this planet.

2. Per haps it is the alien "seed" from which we sprung.

3. Maybe they're "body thetans"!

Proof of Scientology.

Let's all have a clambake.

4. ummm-- verifying the central claims of that story would take only...

...a few hours of lab time-- actually less than an hour to verify the "no DNA" claim, and only as long as it takes for them to reproduce to verify the other claims. What's the energy source? Autotrophic or heterotrophic? This guy needs to work with some biologists, not astrophysicists!

5. That is weird.
