[A Scanner Darkly](http://wip.warnerbros.com/ascannerdarkly/„A Scanner Darkly“) looks like it will be *THE* movie coming out this summer. Another movie based on a Phillip K. Dick novel, OK; Keanu Reeves in a standard KeanuReevesRole, OK; Killer aesthetics through its movie-made-into-a-comic style

His findings suggest that the coloring compound within those showers are actually alien life forms capable of replication. Although “life”, nothing like anything we would know of. No DNA and stable above very high temperatures. Published in
Astrophysics and Space Science (doi://10.1007/s10509–005–9025–4, abstract)

from the abstract:

The striking red colouration of the rainwater was found to be due to the suspension of microscopic red particles having the appearance of biological cells. These particles have no similarity with usual desert dust. An estimated minimum quantity of 50,000 kg of red particles has fallen from the sky through red rain. An analysis of this strange phenomenon further shows that the conventional atmospheric transport processes like dust storms etc. cannot explain this phenomenon. The electron microscopic study of the red particles shows fine cell structure indicating their biological cell like nature. EDAX analysis shows that the major elements present in these cell like particles are carbon and oxygen. Strangely, a test for DNA using Ethidium Bromide dye fluorescence technique indicates absence of DNA in these cells. In the context of a suspected link between a meteor airburst event and the red rain, the possibility for the extraterrestrial origin of these particles from cometary fragments is discussed.**
