Extract: “[...] During testing of the ’red rain’ of Kerala, microscopic, spherical, cellular structures were noticed in the water, which were apparently lacking in DNA, a fact which has baffled scientists. [...] As far as the Kerala red rain is concerned, there is a mysterious microorganism that has defied identification so far. We have not been able to convincingly extract any DNA from them and Prof Louis has maintained that there is no DNA, but it can multiply at very high temperatures under high pressure conditions. I think there are all the signs of an alien bug! The Kerala red rain was preceded by a sonic boom that was heard, probably indicating that a fragment of a comet exploded in the atmosphere and unleashed the red cells that became incorporated in rain...."

In the '50s and '60s, Sydney W. Fox discovered proteinoids that formed tiny globules he coined "microspheres". They had no encoded molecular patterns but still behaved partially like cells of cyanobacteria. Hinting at potential precursor protective "shells" maybe already having been available for primitive proto-DNA structures to develop in before their emergence.

It brings to mind the famous "star jelly" phenomena in which blobs of slime are often found on the ground after meteor showers. Perhaps the meteorites drop the stuff when they explode in our atmosphere?
