'We Are The Aliens'

BBC Documentary "We Are The Aliens" provides near hour of lively discussion on theory of Panspermia "The idea that life on Earth came from another planet has been around as a modern scientific theory since the 1960s when it [i.e., Pan-  spermia] was proposed by Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe. At the time they were ridiculed for their idea -- known as panspermia. But now, with growing evidence, it's back in vogue and even being studied by NASA. We meet the scientists on a mission to get to the bottom of the beginnings of life on Earth - from the team in Texas who are lovingly building a robotic submarine called DEPTHX to explore a moon of Jupiter, to Southern India where they are investigating a mysterious red rain which fell for two months in 2001. According to local scientist Godfrey Louis, the rain contains biological cells unlike any he had seen before -- with no DNA and the ability to replicate at 300°C. Louis has come to the conclusion that the cells are extra-terrestrial in origin," informs You Tube summary. Red rain in Kerala, India from July to September, 2001 remains one of world's greatest mysteries!
