Changanachery, Kerala, Where Events Took Place
|
Shades of the biblical plagues and the
6th
Century catastrophe reported on Unknowncountry last
week, where mysterious yellow dust was reported falling from
skies .
A mysterious red rain recently fell in the Southern Indian
State of Kerala, accompanied by
collapsing wells and a plague of black insects.
It was originally thought that the red rain might have been
caused by dust kicked up by small earthquakes, although no
quakes were measured. This could also explain the tiny black
insects that rained from the sky at the same time.
But that leaves the mystery of the collapsing wells. Around
150 have collapsed in various ways across the state since
the second week of June. Experts guess that the well
collapses may be due to a sudden build-up of water pressure,
that could also be caused by tectonic activity.
Now researchers have concluded that a meteor threw fine
dust into the atmosphere, which came down as red rain.
According to a preliminary hypothesis released by the Center
for Earth Science Studies, a meteor exploded in the area at
around 5:30 a.m. on July 25. The Director of the Center, Dr.
M. Baba, says the hypothesis is based on physical analysis of
the sediments found in the rain water obtained from the
district and information from the residents.
The celestial body, passing at great speed, deposited the
dust in the monsoon clouds, causing the red-colored
downpour. According to available information, the rain was
normal the previous day. But residents were jolted out of
their sleep by ?a very loud noise? in the early hours of July
25. A few of them also saw a flash of light. The red showers
started three hours later.
The sound of thunder was unusual as thunderstorms do not
accompany rains during this time of the year. The red rain
arrived after a series of quake-related rumbles, collapsing
wells, swirling well waters, cracking walls, sinking earth,
floods, landslides and plagues of insects.
Scientific teams from leading institutions have been trying to
explain the strange happenings with credible, but divergent,
findings. The fear of the ground slipping away from under
their feet, while the sky falls on their heads, has made the
local people eager for reassuring words from the scientists.
The meteor explains it.
