    My data was dated and erroneous, I apologize for presenting it and offer this correction:
    "Dr. Godfrey Louis and Dr. Santhosh Kumar from Kottayam’s Mahatma Gandhi University gave the boldest explanation of all. They stated that the rain resulted due to the presence of extra-terrestrial life. This was supported by the fact that particles were actually living organisms. Also, the particles could thrive even at a temperature of 300 degree Celsius. Furthermore, they tested and found that these life forms did not contain any DNA. However, Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe managed to extract DNA from the pores, proving the stated theory to be incorrect. Moreover, he confirmed the presence of elements such as Hydrogen, Potassium, Calcium, Sodium, Iron, Silicon, Oxygen, Carbon, Aluminium, and Phosphorus. Heavy metals such as Nickel, Manganese, Titanium, Chromium, and Copper were also observed."

    An octopus can certainly live out of water for a while, at least.

    There are numerous youtubes on them having out of tank experiences. One was caught crawling to another tank and eating the fish, then crawling back home to its own tank. One crawled across the floor to a drain pipe and escaped. Etc.

    Yes they can be smart. Solve puzzles. Learn.
    They cannot colonize the land, necessary to take advantage of better oxygen availability.
    Nor can they survive the trauma of space as a tardigrade can to seed other planets.

    Tardigrades are incredible beasts, but the full trip from being blasted off a planet, traveling in space for some reasonable period of time and then surviving reentry on another planet leaves me believing it's highly unlikely.

    They can't survive interplanetary space for all that long, for example.

    Oh, how long can they survive in a virtually crystalline state or nearly.

    They are the best candidate out there.
    And a multicellular animal too.
    Not some plant spore, or bacteria, etc.

    Tardigrades forever
    Take your pick

    Sure, Tardigrades forever. Let's just remember that finding the best candidate for a task doesn't imply that the task is possible.

    The seeding of life throughout the universe in this way has long been thought a possibly. Nothing new.

    An interesting note.

    Red Rain has been explained in many cases.

    However, that being said, the Karela incident does appear to be unique.

    https://watchers.news/2012/11/18/sri-lanka-red-rain-mistery-solved/

    As a conspiracy theorist I would have to say that there is enough evidence here to consider this a legitimate theory.

    On another note this seems to fall in line with Biblical teachings of God creating man from dust.

    How perfect that an exploding comet mixes its dust with rain to seed the earth with life.

    Eve being created from Adam's ribs would be the cells simply multiplying from the original.

    It all fits quite nicely don't ya think?

    Do you have any links to any scientific articles or sites?
