Scientists have yet to identify these unusual red particles.

[Interesting Times]

Peter Gabriel saw it all coming...

red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me

I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
it can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
this place is so quiet, sensing that storm

red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me

well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
they tell you that this rain can sting, and look down
there is no blood around see no sign of pain
hay ay ay no pain
seeing no red at all, see no rain

red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me

red rain-
putting the pressure on much harder now
to return again and again
just let the red rain splash you
let the rain fall on your skin
I come to you defences down
with the trust of a child

red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me
and I can't watch any more
no more denial
it's so hard to lay down in all of this
red rain is coming down
red rain is pouring down
red rain is coming down all over me
I see it
red rain is coming down
red rain is pouring down
red rain is coming down all over me
I'm bathing in it
red rain coming down
red rain is coming down
red rain is coming down all over me
I'm begging you
red rain coming down
red rain coming down
red rain coming down
red rain coming down
over me in the red red sea
over me
over me
red rain

Sounds like a super germ to me and they should get those all sealed up and away.

[Yossarian]

Maybe Peter Gabiel can shed some light on this....

Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me

I am standing up at the waters edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It cant be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
This place is so quiet, sensing that storm

Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me

Hmm, doesn't sound too good - People screaming, people mute, warm ground, defenses lowered, bodies buried, it stings, and it sure isn't blood - thanks for the head's up, Pete!

[P.O.E.]

Last winter, Louis sent some of his samples to astronomer Chandra Wickramasinghe and his colleagues at Cardiff University in Wales, who are now attempting to replicate his experiments; Wickramasinghe expects to publish his initial findings later this year. ..... Louis's theory holds special appeal for Wickramasinghe. A quarter of a century ago, he co-authored the modern theory of panspermia, which posits that bacteria-riddled space rocks seeded life on Earth.

Or are they just out to sell a book? My skepticism aside, it's interesting nonetheless.

Here's an enlargement

Maybe they're Midi-chlorians.

I really want this to be true. It could be the greatest discovery of all time.

But, the fact that he sent a sample to Dr.Wickramasinghe indicates it's a scam. Wickramasinghe is basically a nut who will accept any evidence of life in outer space. Why didn't he send the sample to a respected scientist?

this would be the third time around this story went through world press
