Red Rain Cells- Why Extraterrestrials?

Red Cells- Why Extraterrestrial?

Some Analysis & Facts

The cells, which caused the red color to the rain, came from the SKY. At least 50 tons of red cells have downpour from the sky. We have analyzed only 126  reported cases.  There are many unreported cases of the red rain events and so many non-witnessed cases. By considering these facts the actual quantity will be more than 100 tons.  The Question is from where does this huge quantity of cells originated.  Because of the cells came from the sky  one can say that these are originated from a meteor ie originated from a extraterrestrial source.  But the possibility of other earthly  reasons should also analyze.  Many people are satisfied with the simple answer even though these answers are unscientific to explain the phenomena. Why we are saying that these are originated from a ET source?  

1. The red cells are very unique and there is NO SUCH RED CELLS any where in KERALA or in INDIA in huge quantity. 

2. The cells cannot be originated from sea. This is not a marine originated cells

3.  Few claims that wind carries dust from distant source. But the color causing agent was not DUST. There is no tornado or twister during that time to carry the cells /or DUST (or whatever may) from earth to the cloud.  And this twister will not continue  for days.  (Remember red  rain occurred more than one month). More over the wind pattern of Kerala during July to September was from  south- west to  North- East.  If the wind carries the cells ANY WHERE from earth then it must down pour in the NORTH-EAST direction. But the red rain occurred from North to South direction in a elliptical region  extending from Kannur to Pathanamthitta. 

4. Many people heard a Loud  Explosive noise early morning in Changanassery   ((probably a sonic boom) just before the first red rain occurred. Few scientists from CESS immediately visited the place and claimed the cause of the red rain was DUST from a fragmented  meteor and  more than 1000 Kg of mass down pour from the sky in the first red rain event. Their inference was due to the fact that , this large quantity of more than 1000 kg of dust will not originated from earth and come  through rain during a few minutes raining.  Later they changed their claim because the color causing AGENT was found to be red colored microbe.  Here raises a question, should   every one will get accept if the color causing AGENT was DUST from a meteor?   Unfortunately the color causing material was microbes. 

If the earthly origin of the cells can be ruled out then possibility of Extraterrestrial origin can be  explored ....

We are pointing some research evidences to show that the red rain cells are extraterrestrial.

1. The cells are very strange. Chemical test shows it cannot be destroyed by Concentrated Sulfuric Acid, Ethanol, methanol, Acetone, highly stable in high and low Ph solutions.

2. Temperature stability is very high.  At 200 Deg C cells are intact and more active.

3. In LN2 the cells are very stable.

4. On dry heating the cells are stable up to 300 Deg C. Color reduction was noticed after 320 Deg C only

5. The replicated cells auto-fluoresce unconventionally. 

6.  The red pigment have  very high stability against temperature. ( to be published)

7.  The cells does not have nucleus.

8. The cell wall is enormously thick (about 1 micron)

9. The cells are replicating at 121 Deg C   (article was published)

10. The cells are replicating even at 350 Deg C  but optimum at 300 Deg C ( to be published)

11. On storage  ( for the last 20 years) the cells are stable without any preservative in the rain water 

12. The cells does not a flagellate ( hence not trentepohlia)

13. The cells does not have DNA/RNA ( EtBr Fluorescence enhancement study). The positive DNA result using DAPI dye was not due to DNA  but due to auto fluorescence  of the pigment removed cells

14. DNA sequence study reveals inconclusive result and hence species identification failed ( to be published)

15. The IR spectrum is similar to the IR spectrum of the protoplanetary Nebula and similar to the spectrum of ISM

16. The UV vis spectrum of red cell is similar to the spectrum of DIBs in interstellar medium (ISM) 

17. The auto fluorescence of the red cells can be explained that it’s a good candidate for the origin of ERE in the ISM

18. Absence of phosphorous both in the outer cell wall and in the inner core (Nori Miyake et al)

19.  Presence of Uranium in the outer core (Nori Miyake etal)

20. High percentage of silica in the cell.

21. Absence of nitrogen (EDAX) and low percentage  (<0.3 )of nitrogen in CHN analysis

 Are these evidences are not sufficient to say that these are ET ?

Many of people are quoting Carl Sagan’ s statement  “Extraordinary Claims require Extraordinary Evidences” while discussing the ET origin

These red cells are really qualifying the Carl Sagan Criteria.

Few of the above claims are not extraordinary, but collectively with other results, we can say that these evidences  are extraordinary. 

Even then, there is high tendency to debunk the results of the red rain  research and studies  on the putative  red cells
