The Red Lake of Baghdad? Red Rain, Solved!? Let The Expert Explain All Mysteries In This Universe!

How and why did it form?! Does it have to do with pollutants? It has  red algae has been ruled out as a possibility, as well as blood. So, I guess my question is, "What caused the lake to turn red and back to normal seemingly ("overnight")!?" It almost certainly cannot be the same as red rain, right? The phenomena of red rain occured over India http://thewatchers.adorraeli.com/2012/11/18/sri-lanka-red-rain-mistery-solved/. More on that later. So, I have made my own hypothesis about what has caused a lake in Baghdad to turn red. It most likely couldn't have been rain, as this is a desert, especially if the rain were to be red in the first place, like it was in India. I think, although I am not not really sure if this is a plausible explanation... that the color was either caused by: A)Pollutants from waste ,or B)Iron. The latter would have made at least some sense, given that oxide or metallic particles were dumped into the lake. However, there is still one tantalizing question that still appears unclear to me; If this was really caused by rust, then would the red color be able to suddenly vanish "overnight"?! After all, even though it would be caused by metallic material, it would still most likely remain on the surface of the water much, much longer due to the properties of rust that prevent it from sinking. Unless the water was cleaned up all of the way, of course. There are no other explanations which I can think of, at least for now.
Now, how about that red rain? Let's get back to that phenomena again. Now, as evidenced by the link to the article posted above, there are some serious issues that should be accounted for, such as the fact that, as it turns out, the samples of rain that were taken in one region were noticeably darker than the other. Also, something else (one of the other facts) that was mentioned in the article is the fact that the microscopic dead "bacteria" that were found to exist in the water were unlike that of anything ever identified on Earth before, and that their structure appeared to differ from that of any algae species. And this led many scientists and/or people to think that this phenomenon was caused by something well...of extraterrestrial origin! However, let us discuss whether this type of explanation in particular really holds true. First of all, let's consider the following question: How likely would it be that this event in particular was caused mainly by ET!? Well, it may sound truly crazy (to say the least); However...despite the fact that it may seem like that to you, it's not as crazy as you may think it is. In fact, I might even go as far as to say a statement that sounds truly paradoxical: "It is, and yet isn't ET". That's right. It's exactly on the edge of what one could consider extraterrestrial, and what one couldn't. After all, microscopic life exists even in some of the most farthest reaches of our own atmosphere; yet does that make these bacteria ET? And that's where the line between what is "ET", and what is not, becomes truly blurry. Furthermore, I find it incredibly perplexing, the fact that these rains occurred on sporadic occasions in random areas. Astonishingly enough, this very fact, or detail, would probably not be inconsistent with the disintegration of a comet. And that sounds pretty exciting; however, at the same time, what you should keep in mind that because there is more than one explanation for these occurrences that could fit the bill (so to say), this simply makes the whole event much more difficult to resolve, as to what really occurred to cause the rain to fall down as red. And there is yet a third explanation that perhaps most of us could and would find plausible in this entire mess. And for this explanation, we return to the theory of algae. See, it turns out that it may be relatively simple to explain how and why the microbes' structures don't match those of other algae. When algae, (or any other microbes for that instance) spend extended periods of time away from their natural (usual) environment, often times what will happen is that they must assume different characteristics in order to adapt. This enables them to be able survive various conditions that differ from those that they have evolved for, usually for many thousands of years. This would surely help to explain the fact that the structural of the microbes found in the rain were different from algae, or at least different from those algae species that we usually know of here on Earth; In other words, only those species of algae which scientists have been able to document thus far. Now, here is one truly compelling fact; although it may not be related, I think that you should take not of it. Last year, over 2015, a group of young scientists tried to study the effects of martian conditions on microbial life, to se whther or not earth born pathogens could survive the extreme martian air. In order to do this experiment, they sent a weather balloon into space, at over 120,000 feet or so. And guess what?! In order to survive, these microbes mutated...and turned red! Could this be the missing link between "ET, and the red rain over India?" My best guess would be no. 

Verdict?

Taking into account all of the above explanations, the one that I think would be most likely to help explain the event of red rain would most likely have to be the occurence of algae at extremely high altitudes, which has somehow made reached all of the way into the clouds (or beyond). On it's way there, it could have mutated in order to survive. Or, perhaps another explanation would be that the atmospheric conditions that exist at high altitudes caused this even once they were dead. Either way, the microbes would almost surely mutate at extremely high altitude (such as, tens of thousands of feet). Again, this would help to explain the fact that some of the species of life cells that were discovered in the rain were "unaccounted for", or simply left as they were: unexplained. So there you have it. As I like to say, let the expert (me) explain the mysteries of our universe, from being able to reveal the origins of our universe to other down to earth matters. 

The writing of this blog has critically helped me in thinking for myself and achieving higher knowledge. Over time, I have come to terms with the fact that some of the most puzzling occurences and/or phenomena (questions) that we might sometimes come across are trivial, and are made mostly out of common sense! Some other questions I have tried to delve deep into in the writing of this blog has included: "Explaining the paradoxical nature of brain transplants", as well as "Are souls real?", and another one of my favorite thoughts..."The Atomic Condunrum"
