Strange how something that "came from space" over a period of months only fell in India. LOL

[CarrotAndStick]

Remember this? Kannur, IIRC.

"...may consist out of alien life forms"


What?

I'm no english professor but come on, my 13 year old could have written a better headline.

[dfwgator]

This is news? Peter Gabriel sang about Red Rain years ago.

[stuartcr]

How hard can it be to compare dust particles, to the stuff in the rain?

A comet? It must be the Mother Ship. Does everybody have their black Nikes on?

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

Oh, brother!

All the really neat stuff that happens in Weekly World News always seems to happen in remote parts of India or Bangladesh or deepest Africa as well.

I wonder why all of those really amazing things always happen in such obscure places? ;-)

--we had "red snow" in high-country Colorado on Valentine's Day , 1966--IIRC. It had a much more terrestrial origin--Utah--

The headlines were great this week. Aliens are stealing cows (for sinister purposes, no doubt), and Republicans have found a way to resurrect Ronald Reagan so that he can run in 2008.

Best investigative reporting on the planet.

[S0122017]

Oh, brother!

Apparently New Scientist thinks it is possible. Do you think the entire universe is sterile but earth?

Oh, brother!

[Chanticleer]

Don't know if this qualifies as environmental news, but it's pretty darn funny.

Basic geostationary orbit. Look it up.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

Yes, it's hysterical. Maybe we can pass this one off as, God has a cut and is bleeding and India is seeing it all firsthand...

[S0122017]

"...may consist out of alien life forms" What? I'm no english professor but come on, my 13 year old could have written a better headline.

What is wrong with it? It is accepted spelling. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=life%20form
