Not sure how I ran across this, but it seems to be an
interesting theory. It was hosted on a Cornell server.
The links below are for the PDF of this document. If you are
interested in reading the entire document, but can't open a PDF, email
me and I will email you this article as a Word Document.
I have no idea of the scientific accuracy, but the only
implausible part (the me at least) is why didn't the debris disperse
in the atmosphere over the two month period?

Red coloured rain occurred in many places of Kerala in India
during July to September 2001 due to the mixing of huge quantity of
microscopic red cells in the rainwater. Considering its correlation
with a meteor airbust event, this
phenomenon raised an extraordinary question whether the cells
are
extraterrestrial. Here we show how the observed features of the
red rain
phenomenon can be explained by considering the fragmentation and
atmospheric
disintegration of a fragile cometary body that presumably
contains a dense
collection of red cells. Slow settling of cells in the
stratosphere explains the
continuation of the phenomenon for two months. The red cells
under study appear
to be the resting spores of an extremophilic microorganism.
Possible presence of
these cells in the interstellar clouds is speculated from its
similarity in UV
