It's raining extraterrestrial men!

Alien rainwater sample
In 2001, red rain fell on the humid jungles of Kerala, coating the land in a red film. Godfrey Louis collected a sample and investigated the substance.
He was shocked to find cell-like materials in the water responsible for the red colour. Cell-like - like blood. As shown in the picture, the cells look like delicious grapes.
Sure, it can rain blood. Some scientists even argued that a meteor hit a swarm of bats. I think it'd be likely that American Marines launched Iraqi civilians into the atmosphere, then shot them down with missile defence - creating a pinkish cloud.
Louis was even more shocked to find that the cells had no DNA, and when heated to about 600 degrees F, the cells started reproducing!
Ah, who needs romance in this crazy world? Dinner, dancing, witty conversation... forget it. Just crank up the heat, and start reproducing asexually.
Other scientists are, as we speak, trying to reproduce the findings, but could be the first sample of alien life.
And then?
War of the Worlds, baby.
