In July 2001, an unusual meteorological event occurred in Kerala, southern India, when raindrops left deep red stains wherever they fell, a phenomenon later named "Red Rain." Researchers struggled to explain the event, with theories ranging from terrestrial causes to extraterrestrial origins. Initial explanations suggested dust particles or pollution from industrial or volcanic activity could be the cause, but these failed to fully account for the phenomenon's widespread and recurring nature. A team led by Dr. Godfrey Louis from Mahatma Gandhi University found that the rainwater contained particles that displayed biological characteristics, leading to the controversial panspermia hypothesis, suggesting that life exists throughout the universe and is transported by meteoroids, comets, and cosmic dust. Critics of this theory pointed out the lack of evidence of extraterrestrial DNA or RNA in the red rain particles, and a more conventional explanation proposed that the red rain was due to airborne spores from local algae or fungi. Despite the prevailing theory of airborne spores, the event continues to inspire further research and intrigue about the possibility of non-terrestrial microorganisms entering Earth’s atmosphere.
